Where is John Veasey now?

Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia is on Netflix and the docuseries looks at the power struggle within the Philadelphia mafia in the 1990s.

Two mob figureheads, John Stanfa and Joey Merlino, were embroiled in an infamous war but John Veasey also played a huge role.

After a difficult childhood, his life of crime began at a young age, before accepting a job as a hitman for a local mob.

He was hired by John Stanfa's men to conduct a hit on his rival, Merlino, and his associate, Michael "Mikey Chang" Ciancaglin.

After being promised $10,000 for the job, he hit back at Stanfa when he did not receive payment, which led to Stanfa taking out a hit on him.

Learning of the danger he faced, it was Veasey's younger brother who urged him to turn himself in to the FBI and become an informant for them.

He ended up being shot and attacked with a knife as part of a hit attempt, but he managed to get away and continued to serve as an FBI informant.

In the end, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison after admitting to murder, extortion, and other related charges.

He was released in 2005 and now lives a quiet, suburban life with his wife and children.

After initially accepting a job as a janitor, he went on to become a successful car salesman, but after getting into legal trouble in 2007 following a fight in a restaurant, he relocated to a new city.

Now, he stays well out of the spotlight and calls himself a family man and a businessman.

In the Netflix series, he calls joining the mafia the "worst decision" he ever made.

"I never respected the Mafia or what it stood for," Veasey said in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2012.

"My only regret was being dumb enough to join ... I always said they either rat or kill each other."
