New York is full of crazy people. It was in the past and it is now. But among the hundreds of headline-grabbing lunatics, there was one who deserves special attention. He hit the streets of the Big Apple in the early 1970s. Unshaven, unwashed and dressed in a housecoat, he walked the sidewalks of Manhattan, mumbling incoherently to himself. If you saw him for the first time, you would probably just walk on by without even realizing who this man named Vincent Gigante really was.
Meanwhile, this psycho was actually one of the most powerful mob bosses of his generation, who managed to pretend to be insane for almost 30 years and avoided jail while the state turned on Cosa Nostra.
While everyone around him was getting prison sentences, he fooled one psychiatrist after another and stayed on the outside to run the strongest Mafia family controlling a large part of New York City's construction, ports, and criminal life on the streets. While every newspaper wrote and every TV station talked about John Gotti, it was Gigante who was the real power of the American Mafia.
And if you're interested in hearing the story of the mob boss who managed to stay in the shadows better than anyone in history without losing his power, then meet Vincent "Chin" Gigante, on the other side of the law.
