Joe Pistone<br />
34 play<br />
Pretty ballsy, right? How’d he pull it off?<br />
How to survive the streets… and to live life.<br />
1. Play the part. Think, eat, sleep and breathe the world.<br />
2. Live honorably. Your reputation is everything.<br />
3. Don’t let them see you sweat. Even during a six-hour grilling.<br />
4. Know when to talk and when to shut up. The walls have ears.<br />
5. Don’t be a wise guy. Be wise.<br />

Joe Pistone knew that nothing could be won if nothing was at<br />
stake. And what was at stake was his life. In 1976, undercover<br />
FBI agent Joe Pistone assumed a secret identity and infiltrated the<br />
New York City Mafia as small-time jewel thief Donnie Brasco. Over<br />
time he rolled with gangsters and earned the trust of the mob. In<br />
fact, he was so damn convincing that they wanted to induct him<br />
as a member of the family.<br />
When he got pulled out in 1982, Pistone put more than 100<br />
Mafiosi behind bars, single-handedly broke up the ‘Family’, and<br />
took down much of New York’s underworld. Thirty years on, he still<br />
travels in disguise and under an alias. There’s a mob contract out<br />
on him with a reward of $500,000 USD.<br />
