    Hey CGS gang gang❤. I have been hoping you guys will interview him since day one. As time went on here we are 🎉. Ordered his book and to see him healthy,no dementia😂 , I'm glad. Happy New Year 🎊. I'm not a social media person AT ALL... However I just saw the part 1 of Vlad's interview with kit gor ( everyone calls him kit jai , when people called him kit gor, he probably will say,"hey there, call me kit jai is okay:)." Anyways, so I started to read ALL the comments. I want to know. I want to know what people commented. Curiosity got the best of me.Fair right. This is a guy that I truly respected still do.He knew my father and my mom. And he got me out of troubles , and a true gangster with a big heart. The people that left bad comments over Vlad, they just do NOT know what they are talking about or they might be thinking that he's doing it for the BAG. However and whatever. Don't they know that he's doing All of this out of love, friendship,a promise between one man to another man (MM) he said it himself on this channel. This is the first "Asian Gangster" In NYC have an condo in uptown forty somin street and right across the street is the ONLY Asian LEGIT nightclub in Manhattan 金台北 the first "Asian Gangster" that drives a back to the Future DeLorean... Helping working class to pay there bill. Paying for food for the young man we call it back in the day.... the list go on and on. I knew once I started my comment I won't stop. My humble apology for this long axx comment. Last but not least. Good to see you Kid. Great to see you with full head of hair. The only difference is the last time I saw him, his hair was pitch Black and now is silver. It takes alot of courage to get the book of his solid. Knowing his expertise. I get it because it took also alot of courage for ME just to leave a comment. Brings back memories especially childhood with my family as well. Nothing BUT the best to CGS!!🎉 Nevermind about the people complaining about the quality, the sound 720 1080... What....ever .... OMG you subscribe to the channel you grow with the channel be patient with the channel do not complain about the channel please leave comments give advice... Thank you . Please kindly forgive me for calling him "Asian Gangster" He is a LEGEND, one Of a kind ❤ OH! This IS the first 📚📚📚 book, I hope ❤. Stay safe and stay healthy!!

    The Gang code runs deep in him, you can tell by how he choose his words, approaching the question with caution because he knows exactly the consequences of power behind words, the way he approach the question between the chinese gang and the italian mafia, it seems like he do not want to ellaborate on that..im pretty sure he knows every detail of it. But like i said, he live his life by code and structures which they have once laid the foundation to, so its understandable that he do not want to approach those questions cos the gang culture they once laid the foundation to is pretty much still alive.. different names but same system and structure.

    This channel has the potential to be something great - the topic is fascinating, the interviewees are interesting and animated - but the production value of these videos just SUCKS. Need better editing, subtitles, check audio levels, better mics, different cam angles, higher-res intro, etc.

    • @chinatowngangstories
      @chinatowngangstories 18 годин тому

      The stories are what matter most. At the time I was focused on getting the stories and everything else was secondary. Many interviews including this one were done between 2017 to 2022. I have hundreds of hours of interviews that haven’t been released due to low audio and visual quality. Mitch will use those stories to create mini documentaries.

Also, wanted to know if Vincent Jew was with Danny "Ah Pai" Wong when he was hanging with Peter and the G.S. in New York in 1976.

    I remember those days as a kid hanging out on Mott Street and have vivid memories of a bystander shot in the back inside a Doyer Street restaurant during a drive by. These hoodlums preyed on their own community and we were told never make eye contact if you didn’t want a beating.

      @ I think it was around 1975 or so? You know that bend on Doyer? There’s always a restaurant there. The bystander was a cook who was paralyzed from a bullet in his spine. Maybe it didn’t make the papers because he didn’t die. Anyway it was a long time ago and I was only 12. We were told to stay away from Pell. I’ll read the book to remind myself why. I had a cousin who lived on Henry St and he had to leave the state because he got involved with one of the gangs. We moved to Jersey shortly after that.
