Recently a Mafia content channel brought up a bizarre rumor that I was "banned" from all strip clubs in New Jersey by the Genovese Crime Family.

Also in the first half hour of the show we discuss recent news regarding the Idaho 4 case.To follow me you can check me out on Twitter @jeffnadu You can email me as well at- [email protected] you enjoy our show, please hit the like button and make sure if you're new around here you subscribe as well!Jeff Nadu is an American Mafia and organized crime researcher, podcaster and content creator.
