    Gene Borrello: Armed Robbery Crew, Latin King Partner & the Mafia’s $3M Heist

    Gene Borrello goes inside the robbery crews he worked with in New York, including gang members, Mafia associates, and one of the most trusted partners he says he ever had: Latin King member Adam “Gizmo.” Gene explains how robbery scores were brought to him, how his crew evaluated targets, and why crossing from burglary into armed robbery completely changed the money, risk, and consequences. Gene recounts stories he says he has rarely or never discussed publicly, including working with Adam “Gizmo,” robberies involving drug dealers and jewelers, a Coach store heist, and a Manhattan jewelry-store robbery where Gene says his crew took roughly $1 million in merchandise. He also talks about Darren Elliott, Ronnie Manns, Ryan Lucido, his cousin Joey “the Gingerbread Man,” and the different personalities who made up his robbery crews. The conversation also covers Gene’s life after organized crime. He says he went on to make more money legally than he did as a gangster, discusses earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, buying a McLaren, spending heavily in Miami, Manhattan and the Hamptons, planning an Aspen trip, and eventually realizing he needed to slow down and invest. Gene also reflects on prison, loyalty, cooperation, criticism from people who never lived that life, his relationship with fans around the world, and the experiences he missed while spending so much of his life around crime and incarceration.
