BY ANY MEANS

The FBI's own informant may have tortured a Klansman to crack Mississippi Burning, then went home and kept murdering for thirty more years with the Bureau's protection.



He killed for the mob. He worked for the FBI. For thirty years, no one knew he was doing both.

Gregory Scarpa was the Colombo family's most feared enforcer, a man so prolific that even he lost count of the bodies. He was also one of the FBI's most valuable secret informants, protected at the highest levels for over three decades while he kept on killing. By Any Means pulls back the curtain on one of the most explosive law enforcement scandals in American history: a hidden alliance between a mafia hitman and the government sworn to stop him, one that may have reached all the way to the infamous Mississippi Burning murders of 1964.

Drawing on court testimony, declassified files, and the woman who knew Scarpa best, this is the true story of a killer the FBI couldn't afford to lose, an agent accused of feeding him the intelligence to keep killing, and a federal judge who later said the arrangement got people killed.
