    Episode 156: Gambino Associate Lewis Kasman

    Today we bring you yet another EXCLUSIVE interview. I spoke recently to a man named Lewis Kasman. At a young age, Lewis would meet John Gotti and his brother Gene. Before he knew it, Kasman began a life working and making a lot of money in the Garment District of New York City. He would become very close to Gambino boss John Gotti and became essentially his eyes and ears in the street. He was with him until the end. We delve into many stories, including his opinion that he is rat and has become "Judas" in the eyes of the remaining Gotti family.

Tramparella ,

OMG!!!

I cannot believe I just now found this podcast!!! You guys are fantastic!!! LOVE THIS PODCAST! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
I started at the very first story and had to immediately skip to Tony Spilatro. I dated one of Tony’s nephews for a long time. We are still very close. He hates talking about his uncle and his “legacy”. He is the son of the brother who kept his hands clean. I attend the Spilatro family reunion every year in Vegas. I have the t-shirts! Love your coverage of Tony. I’m not sure if this podcast is still up and running. I haven’t looked yet because I’ll be heartbroken if it’s not! I went back up to the top and just finished Jimmy Burke. So, I have plenty of episodes to scroll through. Just love you guys!!!
💕
You have surpassed my all of my favorite podcasts! Including True Crime Garage and Sword and Scale! That is saying a lot! 👏😁🫶👍👍👊
