Nuzzigate is going to end in a shootout between the Mafia and RFKJr’s private militia God this story is so insane

The facts of Lizza's family run like this. In the 198os, the asphalt industry in Nassau County was controlled by a set of firms dubbed the "Club of Five" by federal investigators. (There were more like eight of them.) They colluded, driving up prices for taxpayers and locking everyone else out. "On Long Island it's a political-asphalt-concrete-labor complex," an outside construction contractor told Newsday in 1986. "Those guys play rough. I wouldn't work over there again if they guaranteed me five million profit." Two of the firms participating in this lucrative racket were run by sons of Carlo Lizza, Ryan's grandfather. A third was co-run by Frank Lizza Sr., Ryan's father. "Those guys play rough. I wouldn't work over there again if they guaranteed me five million profit." — Rival concrete contractor Frank's brother, Carl Lizza Jr., controlled another. In 1984, when Ryan was 10, Carl Jr.'s primary firm, Lizza Industries, was found liable on 32 counts of mail fraud as part of a bid-rigging conspiracy. in a federal RICO trial: a statute used to tackle organized crime cases throughout the 1980s. The case was brought by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York at the time-Rudy Giuliani, in another life. (Later he would butt-dial Nuzzi, apparently_after drinking.) Uncle Carl Jr.'s firm was banned from bidding on federal or state contracts for three years.
