His doting mother's pet name for the boy evolved into his famous alias, \"Chin,\" a nickname that struck fear throughout organized crime as he routinely ordered the murders of mobsters who violated the Mafia code.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVincent Gigante was hand-picked by Vito Genovese to run the Genovese Family when Vito was sent to prison. Chin raked in more than $100 million for the Genovese Family, all while evading federal investigators. At the height of his power, he controlled an underworld empire of close to three hundred made men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet Vincent Gigante was, to all outside appearances, certifiably crazy. A serial psychiatric hospital outpatient, he wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in a ratty bathrobe and slippers. He urinated in public, played pinochle in storefronts, and hid a second family from his wife. On twenty-two occasions, he admitted himself to a mental hospital. It took nearly thirty years of endless psychiatric evaluations by a parade of puzzled doctors for federal authorities to finally bring him down.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160919490800,"sku":"2940170825660","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170825660_p0.jpg?v=1763718936","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170825660","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
