About this listen

This episode pulls back the curtain on the high-risk world of informants, the fragile trust required to flip a capo, and the relentless challenges of witness protection, where one mistake can cost lives. Seamus also opens up about the personal toll these investigations took on him and his family—and why cooperation between federal, state, and local agencies is essential in taking down organized crime.

Drawing from his book Flipping Capo, Seamus delivers firsthand insight into how the Mafia actually operates, how informants are protected, and why the war against organized crime is far from over.
