Frank Costello ruled New York's underworld for 30 years. His secret? He never killed anyone. 👉 Full documentary reveals his "grease bank" ledger, political connections, and how he outsmarted everyone (https://youtu.be/5vyBvid24zU) While Al Capone made headlines with Tommy guns, Costello made millions bribing judges, cops, and politicians. He called it his "grease bank" - pay everyone, fight no one. What made Costello different: ✓ Built gambling empire worth $300M+ (1950s money) ✓ Controlled politicians through systematic bribery ✓ FBI investigated him for 30 years - never caught him for violence ✓ Walked out of prison and died peacefully at 82 The twist: He got convicted for tax evasion (like Capone), but unlike Capone who died miserably in prison, Costello served minimal time and retired in luxury. The mob boss who proved brains beat bullets. The real-life inspiration for Vito Corleone. #FrankCostello #Mafia #TrueCrime #OrganizedCrime #MobHistory #PrimeMinister #NewYork #CrimeDocumentary -~-~~-~~~-~~-~--~-~~-~~~-~~-~--~-~~-~~~-~~-~- ⚠️ Content Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.
