    Tensions are at an all-time high within the Bonanno family, as there’s a struggle for power amongst the caporegime. Anthony “Tony” Mirra returns from prison to reclaim Joe from Lefty Ruggiero, but with no leverage or right to it, he resorts to throwing baseless claims of theft and insubordination Joe’s (aka Donnie Brasco’s) way. This ultimately leads to a sit down with Sonny Black that could either go in Joe’s favor or cut his time deep undercover within the mafia, short. 00:55 – Telephone Conversation between Lefty and Joe 15:26 – The Outcome of the Sit Down with Sonny Black and Tony Mirra Follow the show on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!
