A former "troubleshooter for the mafia" was incarcerated in US penitentiaries for a decade and found a new role for himself on the outside.

Now he works with an array of white-collar offenders.

He berates and curses the ears off his clients, but it's all part of the no-bullshit approach he says he uses.

I hold their hand and their family’s hand, because their families are busy watching prison shows and they’re all freaked out.

I calm them down. Prison is boring. It's Groundhog Day . Every day is the last day , unless people get into a fight or something.
