The life of a career criminal, from a thug on the streets of Chicago to a trusted lieutenant in Tony Spilotro’s gang of organized lawbreakers in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

From burglary to armed robbery and murder, infamous bad guy Frank Cullotta not only did it all, in Cullotta<\/i> he admits to it\u00a0—\u00a0and in graphic detail.<\/p>\n

Cullotta’s was a world of high-profile heists, street muscle, and information\u00a0—\u00a0lots of it\u00a0—\u00a0about many of the FBI’s most wanted. In the end, that information was his ticket out of crime, as he turned government witness and became one of a handful of mob insiders to enter the Witness Protection Program. Some of that information has since been responsible for solving a decades-old cold-case double-homicide.<\/p>\n
