Joie Miami talks on Drug Running for the Mob, Money Laundering, Santo Trafficante & Chicago Outfit

Today on Crime & Entertainment we sit down with Joie Miami. Now the Mob has always featured stories of wise GUYS, however the women often get overlooked in this life. Well today I will introduce you to someone that was very much capable of making her own way. Joie's true story of one woman’s journey into drugs, money, the Mob, and the ultimate betrayal. It all started when she meet Gene “Gino” Talarico, Now Gene appeared at a time in JoAnn’s life when she needed it most. Like Prince Charming, he took her away from the destitution she knew and replaced it with tainted riches. It was her personal Cinderella story with a twist! Unfortunately, the happy ending she expected didn’t come written like the fairy tale. For fourteen years, JoAnn, known as Joie, had been the woman that stood strongly by the side of Gene Talarico, a Mafia soldier. She thrived off of a lifestyle many would have quivered from. She was groomed to be an asset to Gene and his “employers” which turned out to be the South Florida Branch of the Chicago Mafia. For years she hosted gatherings, carried and laundered money, loaded planes to make drops, bought the apartments and cars for the “family” and kept their secrets. Her role in the Mafia grew to a liaison for Santo Trafficante. She saw heights many of the other Mob wives never knew. The blood and sweat of loyalty, however, was washed away as Gene fell ill to cancer. Everything she worked so hard to build; the power, money and earthly possessions were stripped from her. She had been left out in the cold as a fallen and forgotten foot soldier and was made to survive on scraps. Joie had to count on the one thing the Mafia underestimated, her survival skills. With love now turned to hate, respect now turned to disdain and courage pumping in her veins, she returned the favor of spitting in the face of the Mob.
