    They were the most powerful gang in Chinatown. Like the notorious crime families of the Italian Mob, the Asian youth gang known as the Ghost Shadows carved out their own territory in New York's underworld and ruled those streets for decades. Their leader Peter Chin, a young immigrant from the outskirts of Hong Kong, not only found a new family among his fellow gang members but became one of the two most powerful men in Chinatown's history at that time. Eventually it all came crashing down—when Chin and twenty-four other Ghost Shadows were indicted and imprisoned for racketeering. But throughout his twenty years in prison, and even since his release, Chin has kept his code of silence. Until now. 
     
     
     
    For the first time ever, the former leader of the Ghost Shadows breaks his silence in this tell-all to author Everett De Morier. From his arrival in New York's gritty Chinatown to his initiation into the street gangs, Chin found a new sense of belonging and brotherhood—as well as a dangerous world of gun fights and gang wars, gambling and extortion, shootings, and arrests. Now a successful businessman, Chin gives listeners a glimpse into why a young man would choose a life of crime—and how he managed to beat the odds and live to tell the tale. Chin's is a story of family, loyalty, and redemption, with an inspiring message of hope for anyone who's made mistakes.

    During a cursed childhood in a Manhattan neighborhood teeming with Italian immigrants, Gianni Russo fended for himself at an early age. It was a quality that didn't go unnoticed by Frank Costello—father figure, mentor, and legendary crime boss. Thanks to Costello, Gianni was only twelve when his luck would change for a lifetime. With it came Hollywood glamor, Vegas risk-takers, political conspiracies, sex, murder, shadow governments, and secrets. The stories Gianni Russo could tell . . .Now he does in this bombshell confessional. This is the inside account of the Sicilian Mafia, Cosa Nostra, what really transpired in those Mulberry Street clubs, and who whacked whom—including how mobster Tony Spilotro and his brother really died, finally revealed for the first time. This is Gianni, buddy of Frank Sinatra, and intimately more with Marilyn Monroe. What's the cover-up behind her death, JFK's, and Jimmy Hoffa's? It's all here. So is the clandestine role of the pope as the sacred boss of bosses, the glory days and downfall of Las Vegas, and the colorful behind-the-scenes tales of Gianni's role in the greatest movie ever made, The Godfather. The go-getter Frank Costello once called "The Kid" shares his shocking, exhilarating, sometimes violent, and always riveting life with the dealmakers of Hollywood and the Mob. Gianni Russo lives to tell, and spills it all.

    Lying, the deliberate act of communicating false information, has been a part of human behavior for centuries. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that plays a role in many aspects of life, from personal relationships to politics, business, and beyond. While most people recognize lying as morally wrong, it remains a pervasive and unavoidable part of the human experience. This chapter will explore the nature of lying, the different types of lies, and why people engage in this behavior. 
    At its core, lying involves providing information that the speaker knows to be false, with the intent to deceive the listener. Unlike mistakes or misunderstandings, lies are intentional and often involve a conscious decision to mislead. Lying can take many forms, ranging from small, seemingly harmless "white lies" to more harmful and deliberate fabrications designed to achieve personal gain or avoid consequences. While some lies may appear trivial, others can have significant consequences, leading to broken trust, damaged relationships, or even harm to others. 
    The act of lying is not limited to individuals but can also be embedded in larger societal and cultural practices. From politicians who manipulate public opinion to corporations that mislead consumers about the quality of their products, deception is often employed as a tool to achieve power, influence, or financial success. Understanding the motivations behind lying is key to understanding its prevalence and persistence in society. People lie for various reasons: to protect themselves, to avoid punishment, to gain an advantage, or to spare others' feelings. The reasons behind a lie often depend on the context and the perceived consequences of telling the truth.
