In this episode, we discuss Roy Marcus Cohn (1927-1986) with professional attorney, Tony Taouk of Magna Carta Lawyers in Sydney, Australia.

Tony and I walk through Roy Cohn's history, and Tony brings an attorney's perspective to some of Cohn's vicious tactics, personal life, as well as areas where he displayed both pure brilliance and borderline diabolical evil.

  • Cohn's legal representation of various mobsters including John Gotti, Tony Salerno, and Carmine Galante

  • Cohn's representation of various celebrities including Donald Trump
