His son said Sasso turned to the task force to escape loan sharks. About that time Sasso climbed onto the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge between Staten Island and Brooklyn and threatened to jump, the son and several friends said. That was Sasso's first suicide attempt. Seminole County detectives said they believe it really was a show to expose the loan sharks.
That Sasso's death is a mystery "goes along with every other weird thing he did," Lt. George Hagood of the Seminole County Sheriff's Department said. According to interviews and a sheriff's investigation after Sasso's death, those weird things include: -- Conning people out of lots of money, possibly millions of dollars, but ending up flat broke and evicted from his apartment. -- Informing on organized crime in Brooklyn in the early 1970s and getting into the federal Witness Protection Program. He was out of the program after two weeks because his information was bogus. -- Threatening to jump off the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York in the 1970s because loan sharks were after him. Geraldo Rivera showed up with a television news crew and talked Sasso down. -- Using a washer and dryer to clean thousands of moldy dollars dug up either in a convicted drug dealer's backyard or in the Ocala National Forest. Sasso and friends then exchanged the money at banks. His collection agency handled Domino's Pizza accounts across the nation. He talked of opening a hotel and a truck stop. He pretended to be a developer in a failed bid to persuade a Pennsylvania city to give him federal grants to build a mall and offices. He tried to produce record albums. He even talked of getting into the telephone sex business.

@@daystar4909 Thank you for subscribing! We have thousands upon thousands of tapes from this show and his other shows. We work to help Geraldo archive his career towards his website. Many outside of New York are surprised to see that his career dates all the way back to the 1960's. Lots of more musical guests, actors, and investigations. All of his 80's and 90's shows coming as well.

Geraldo playing Mr. Naive
Looking at this in retrospect, Geraldo seems really naive about how business was done in NYC.
