Dominick Cicale discusses the transformation in the mob world triggered by high-profile cooperations, particularly his encounter with notorious mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. Cicale, who once cooperated with authorities and entered the Federal Witness Protection Program, reflects on his experiences and the seismic changes in mob mentalities. Recounting his time in witness protection, Cicale reveals his unexpected camaraderie with Gravano, who was then incarcerated for his involvement in the Arizona ecstasy ring. Cicale's cooperation led to significant repercussions, including life sentences without parole for several mobsters. He admits his actions stemmed from perceived betrayals and a stark absence of mob loyalty. Highlighting Gravano’s pivotal role, Cicale notes, “Sammy the Bull opening up the floodgates.” Where once no mob bosses turned state's evidence, Gravano's actions spurred a wave of similar decisions, reshaping organized crime.
