Valachi Testifies On Kiss of Death From Genovese

He claims Genovese helped him with business in exchange for killing for the mob, and describes Genovese as the Cosa Nostra boss of bosses. Valachi recounts prison danger, a planned murder plot, and his eventual decision to talk to authorities. He notes Genovese remains a powerful figure, even in prison, and recalls his respect for him.
