Mafia bosses recently apologized and offered reparations to the parents of a man whom they mistakenly killed and then dissolved in acid. Really, no really. How do you mistakenly dissolve the wrong guy...can't you just double check their identity on Google or Facebook? And is it now proper etiquette for mobsters to admit and then apologize for their mistakes? Is this part of a new "woke" Mafia in 2023? We began to wonder if popular conceptions of how the mob operates were even accurate. And what's behind our continued fascination with the Mafia, gangster movies and real-life murderous sociopaths? We needed to find out. This journey required a bona fide mob expert and that's why we reached out to journalist, author and VP at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas, Geoff Schumacher.
