In October 2000, Paciello pleaded guilty and was sentenced to ten years in prison, a lenient sentence as a government witness. He had fingered two made members of the Bonanno family, which led ultimately to the takedown of almost the entire upper echelon of the organization, including family boss Joseph “Big Joe” Massino. Paciello’s cooperation with the federal government was “unprecedented”, according to a March 2004 letter by his then-lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, to the court that would sentence Paciello in connection with the murder and robbery charges related to Judith Shemtov. Brafman estimated that “more than 70 people” had been “prosecuted directly and indirectly as a result of [Paciello’s] cooperation”, which was reportedly confirmed in a letter from the U.S. District Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn.
