Anthony Ruggiano Jr. was a peripheral member of the Gambino crime family and had a more marginal role in the organization. Ruggiano Jr. betrayed the crime family to save himself, helping the feds capture other criminals and receiving a reduced sentence. After serving just three days in prison, Ruggiano Jr. turned his life around and now advocates against organized crime through his podcast, Reformed Gangsters.

Viewers of Get Gotti, Netflix's latest true-crime documentary series, might be left wondering just how Anthony Ruggiano Jr. is related to the Gambino crime family. The three-part docuseries chronicles the FBI's attempts to take down infamous mob boss John Gotti, though it also touches on other big-name Mafiosi figures, including Anthony Ruggiano Jr. Involved in New York's mob scene from a young age, Gotti eventually killed Paul Castellano, the Gambino crime family head, which allowed Gotti to take over what was then America's most powerful crime syndicate.
