DESCRIPTION:
Big Perm and Vic Nasty talked with former Boston wiseguy turned author, Mark Silverman. This is a great conversation discussing growing up in Medford & Somerville, MA and the early escapdes of a wiseguy on the rise. Included is a great story of Mark Silverman coming face to face with the notoriuos Jim " Whitey " Bulger !!

Mark Silverman, is a Former Winter Hill Gangster and Boston Mafia member that was rising through the ranks of the Irish Winter Hill Gang while being recruited by both warring factions of the Patriarca family. His account is the first-ever inside glimpse into what went on at the street level, why people were killed, and what the stakes were.

Silverman grew up in the shadow of Raymond Patriarca and James (Whitey) Bulger, bosses of Boston’s most infamous crime families. With a Jewish last name, his opportunities should have been limited in Boston’s Irish/Italian underworld, but he moved up quickly, gaining acceptance across the board. His book ROGUE MOBSTER is a firsthand account of the violent Boston mob wars of the 1990s, when bodies were piling up across New England and Mark Silverman was walking a tightrope between Winter Hill and the Mafia.

Give a listen as the chat rolls through all sorts of topics !!
