GOLD SHIELDS EPISODE 185: THE REAL GOODFELLAS: An FBI Agent Reveals the Truth | Neil Moran

We hope you enjoy this episode of Gold Shields, let us know how we did. HOLLYWOOD MAKES THE MOVIES. THE FBI LIVED THE REALITY. What happens when the stories behind blockbuster movies are even more incredible than what you see on the big screen? This week on GOLD SHIELDS, we sit down with retired FBI Agent and bestselling author  Neil Moran, who takes us inside the real-life investigations that helped inspire the world of Goodfellas. Neil wasn't watching the action from a movie theater. He was part of the real world of FBI investigations, dealing with the criminals, uncovering the truth, and bringing dangerous individuals to justice. But that's only part of the story. Neil also takes us behind the scenes of his undercover work with the FBI and revisits the devastating tragedy of TWA Flight 800, the passenger jet that exploded off the coast of Long Island, New York, in 1996, killing all 230 people aboard. Join us as we separate REALITY FROM HOLLYWOOD with a man who was there. Neil Moran is the author of the bestselling book STORIES — and he certainly has some stories to tell!
