What if the Mob wasn’t your biggest threat—your own government was?
IRS Special Agent Fred G. Pastore was tasked with dismantling New England’s most powerful crime syndicates.
What he uncovered made him a target—by the mob and the White House.
Now, his grandson opens the case files for the first time.
About This Project
Confidence of the Mob is a real-life investigative podcast, companion book, and interactive archive based on the never-before-seen files of Fred Pastore, the IRS’s top mob hunter in 1950s New England.
Fred uncovered illicit gambling networks, corporate corruption at Raytheon, and a bribery chain that led straight to the White House—and he paid the price.
These documents were locked away for decades. Until now.
