Joe Barone discussed the conditional permission he received from the FBI to assassinate Bonanno crime family boss Michael Mancuso. Barone detailed the unwritten rules and gestures understood in the underworld that he believes are mirrored by the federal agents. Barone recounted a personal history with Mancuso, referencing their past interactions and escalating tensions. Facing a proposition to eliminate Mancuso, Barone approached the FBI, emphasizing his reluctance to resort to violence yet recognizing its necessity in his role. The FBI's response, according to Barone, was to handle matters as needed on the street, with the stipulation of immediate disclosure post-action for either protection or incarceration.
