In a revealing interview, Gregory Scarpa Jr. opened up about the violent Colombo family conflict of the early 1990s, highlighting his father’s lethal role. Known as the “Grim Reaper,” Gregory Scarpa Sr. became infamous for eliminating rivals during the brutal power struggle between Victor Orena and Carmine Persico.
Scarpa Jr. recounted how he first heard the moniker around 1991 while incarcerated.
