One of the most interesting interviews to ever appear on YouTube disappeared a decade ago. It showed up two weeks ago and already has 1.8 million views.
The full 2003 prison interview with mafia hit man James E. Files, recorded in the Stateville Correctional Center, Joliet Illinois. After an FBI tip, Kennedy assassination investigator Joe West found James Files serving time for the attempted murder of an Illinois police officer. At first, Files was reluctant to talk, but West persisted and established a relationship with a man who had first-had knowledge of various aspects of the world of organized crime, government operations, and key people involved in planning and carrying out the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
