In Part Two of What I Survived with Anthony Ruggiano Jr., the life his father warned him about begins to take everything.
Anthony opens up about his drug addiction, going to rehab, and how John Gotti, the Teflon Don, helped him back on his feet when he came out. Then he takes us to 1988, and the murder of his own brother-in-law at his father's social club, the Café Liberty, a killing carried out because the man had laid hands on Fat Andy's wife.
Years later, facing a long prison sentence, Anthony made the decision his father always said only a rat would make. He cooperated with the FBI and testified against the men he had once called family.
How do you live with that choice? And what does survival look like when the people you grew up with see you as a traitor?
Settle in, get comfortable, and let Anthony Ruggiano Jr. tell you what it cost to get out.
