This week on Honor Among Thieves, we sit down with Steve Prohaska—a man whose life began in unimaginable tragedy. After losing both parents in a Colombian cartel hit, Steve was adopted by a Jewish couple and brought to the U.S., where he was given a shot at a new life. In this raw and emotional episode, Steve opens up about how the trauma of his past shaped his future, from troubled teenage years and legal troubles to a path of resilience and redemption.
Steve also shares his experience as the former owner of Tuxedo Junction, the legendary Connecticut nightclub where fellow ex-con and podcast guest Ian Bick’s infamous story began. From cartel to nightclub politics and personal transformation, this episode delivers a gripping blend of true crime, survival, and second chances.
