Mafia Man Loses The Family Jewels

"The Salvatore "Sammy Bull" Gravano's jewelry, which is being auctioned off on November 3 by Sierra Auctions in Phoenix, looks exactly like what you might expect an infamous mafia man's jewels might look like. The collection is heavy on the diamond pinky rings and gold watches with a wide variety of personalized gold and diamonds for both Sam and his wife Debbie. The money collected from the auction will go into the federal racketeering program to fund other investigations. Gravano was the man who squealed on John Gotti and entered the witness protection program but was later caught in a drug bust. The NY Post reports that the pieces were collected at a police raid of Gravano's home. The jewelry is expected to fetch at least $100,000 not because of the pieces themselves but because they were Gravano's.
