About Joe
Joe Barone is the greatest confidential informant in the history of the FBI. Joe, a third-generation American Sicilian, informed on the five New York Mafia families for almost two decades.
He solved and prevented a number of murders including the planned murder of a Federal Judge and a Prosecutor. All in all, Joe easily provided consistent invaluable information. His reward?
They never paid him although they were authorized to do so and he never received a dime from the phenomenal confiscated assets for which he was also entitled. When Joe wanted to retire, it set off a competition of competing law enforcement agencies to entrap him to enslave him.
Joe risked his life every day and, in the end, he escaped the Mafia, the FBI and beat the Department of Justice in Court. It is a story of redemption, perseverance and the power of his renewed faith to be free and seek answers for the murder of his father.
