  • Summary

  • In this episode of Crime Time Inc., our host, Simon McLean, interviews Mike Bonventre, an extraordinary guest from New York. Mike details his life story, beginning with his family's encounter with organised crime in 1957. His father, an honest exterminator, was approached by the Mafia but refused to collaborate, earning respect within the criminal community. However, years later, after selling his business, Mike’s father lost everything due to fraudulent dealings by the Mafia. Determined to fight back, Mike collaborated with law enforcement to bring down the mob, leveraging his business acumen to recover stolen assets. His undercover work led him to infiltrate Mafia operations and gather key information, aiding in massive embezzlement busts. Despite the inherent dangers, including multiple assassination attempts, Mike successfully protected his family and ensured justice. Post-undercover life, Mike became a consultant, helping businesses protect themselves from fraud and working tirelessly to combat the drug trade in neighbourhoods. This gripping episode reveals Mike's dual life as both a crime fighter and a criminal, offering a unique perspective on justice and law enforcement.
