10 Things 'The Sopranos' Gets Right About the Real American Mafia

How realistic is The Sopranos? Well, don’t expect a mob boss to visit a therapist’s office regularly. That’s according to the legendary FBI undercover agent, Joe Pistone, who infiltrated the Bonanno crime family in the late 1970s, collecting evidence that led to over 200 indictments and over 100 convictions. A high-ranking mobster wouldn’t risk strangling someone out in the open the way Tony does in the Season 1 episode, “College.” Whacking jobs are mainly reserved for expendable low-level mobsters.
