Frank Gioia Jr., a former associate of the Lucchese crime family, revealed a chilling mob plot to kill his father, who was a made man. In 1994, while Gioia was serving time, his cousin informed him of the planned hit. Despite being vowed to silence and loyalty, Frank was shocked to learn the mob had no qualms about breaking their code by targeting his father. This revelation came during a turbulent time when mob rules were frequently disregarded. Frank expressed disbelief over the informant's legitimacy, and despite his cousin's claims of a money dispute, Frank was skeptical. Conducting his own investigation, Frank cautioned his father about suspicious meetings and calls that subsequently occurred, confirming his fears. Frank remarked on the dissolved structure of the Lucchese family, highlighting how hits were often carried out without formal approvals, reflecting the chaotic nature of mob operations at the time.
