5) "The Grim Reaper": Greg Scarpa
For over thirty years, Gregory Scarpa lived a charmed triple life; mafia hit man, loving father and husband, and secret FBI informant--until a fatal disease weakened the man that had become known as "The Grim Reaper."
Born in Brooklyn, Scarpa followed his brother into the mob life, becoming a vicious enforcer and prolific earner.
The charming womanizer also had a fruitful home life, and after a bust for hijacking, betrayed his oath to the mafia to become a closed informant for the FBI. Scarpa balanced his multiple roles for a number of years, until he contracted the AIDS virus during a blood transfusion.
