      <title>Episode 43: Mike Campi, Former FBI Agent &amp; Author</title>
      <description>Topic: How the FBI builds cases against prominent organized crime figures

Book: https://www.amazon.com/Mafia-Takedown-Incredible-Story-Devastated/dp/1510783164/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GEADC1OMFGLO&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1ZrHOln8TJQ3wMNaSZp3SRb7sO0G8KDZP0aWV4hPMZ7hsqxMZWbmxwKcx27uIzSuffptFRYDQp5A1IBoKdP8CorXWDD7-mSHqxLxmckV_oXW1hTiZOlI0cXW3FgTLMhq00ey3u6i6axNfiDKojd_ntYdXfzcieJW8rDfvO2T0IxQOzDLQFTlefU2keh5JGErJ4doTpgv5OdsMRxmsEmx1e6N2e5cUNHWMnFnVOplJv0.U4kpJtIJIuQO5gqMo3RZZPTfe_aYhe3SYAVOprwCR1I&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=Mafia+takedown&amp;qid=1730136664&amp;sprefix=mafia+takedown%2Caps%2C88&amp;sr=8-1

Bio: Mike Campi’s exceptional career as an FBI agent with the New York Division spanned both
white-collar and organized crime, including financial fraud, labor racketeering, and political
corruption. His main focus was the Genovese crime family, the most powerful and secretive
organized crime family in the country. His investigations resulted in multiple devastating
convictions of the Genovese family hierarchy, crippling this most sophisticated criminal
enterprise. Campi retired as the Coordinator of the Organized Crime branch of the New York
Division where he managed over 150 agents in the FBI’s largest and most successful OC

Bio: Mike Campi’s exceptional career as an FBI agent with the New York Division spanned both
white-collar and organized crime, including financial fraud, labor racketeering, and political
corruption. His main focus was the Genovese crime family, the most powerful and secretive
organized crime family in the country. His investigations resulted in multiple devastating
convictions of the Genovese family hierarchy, crippling this most sophisticated criminal
enterprise. Campi retired as the Coordinator of the Organized Crime branch of the New York
Division where he managed over 150 agents in the FBI’s largest and most successful OC
program. He was later recruited by a Swiss bank to be a vice president of Corporate Security for the Americas region.
