@@TheRetirednavy92 None of them. Luciano rose to power by taking on, and surviving, extreme risk. People in government are almost exclusively beta losers with zero grit or life experience.
Prohibition wasn't about the temperance movement. That was Henry Ford and JP Morgan barring ethanol. Petroleum is heavy sludge its only after a great deal of processing that you get gasoline. A half acre of reed, hemp, and such grass you can make enough ethanol for a average family car to last a year. Petroleum is used in plastic, medicine. If the average family starting growing thier own fuel, including burning it to make electricity then his monopoly of Standard oil would be in jeopardy. Same with outlawing hemp. Marijuana was the excuse. Pharmaceuticals, ethanol, plastics.
Well, while this doc still overstates Luciano's role in organizing the modern Mafia, it does at least correctly state that it was Maranzano that came up with the 5 family idea (and even then, I'm not sure it was his idea either. It was kind of already in place before then). A lot of docs give that credit to Luciano.
That's because he ran it right he brought the 5 families together he didn't just rule with a iron Fist , he had a bigger vision then getting over on people
@@kaysworld111 Maranzo ran it right and didn't try to rule with an iron fist?? Huh? He ran it for like 9 months before he was killed... And supposedly he also wanted to be "boss of bosses". So I'm not sure what you're talking about.
@@kaysworld111 lol, "get your facts straight"... Well, I do have them straight, except he wasn't the boss of bosses for 9 months. It was actually only 5 weeks after declaring that when he was killed, and even before then he'd only killed Masseria 4 months prior. So how can you possibly say he didn't rule with an iron fist? He ruled for 5 weeks. Plus, there is plenty of evidence for Maranzano being not much better than Masseria... I mean, the dude compared his organization to the Roman Empire and his self to Caesar (at least according to Selwyn Raab, although I'd like to know his source on that). But regardless, declaring yourself the boss of all bosses sure sounds like he planned to rule with an iron fist to me, as there's no way to do that without being pretty ruthless, even if he was more progressive than his peers. Not to mention he was a brutal and conniving leader before his declaration. So it seems it is you who actually needs to get his facts straight... If you want a more realistic and well-sourced version of Mafia history here in America, The Mob and the City by Alexander Hortis is very good and dispels a lot of the mythology around the Mafia that these modern documentaries and podcasts parrot.
He was a remarkable man, but such a shame his capabilities were put to such awful uses. One can only imagine what he might have accomplished had he and some of the other family members teamed up in legitimate businesses and politics.
I worked with the niece of Lucky Luciano. Italians are hardworking, all American people with integrity. They look after their neighborhoods and take care of widows and orphans. I think the mafia does too. At one time they did.
Fun fact, during his 1935 trial, Luciano was forced to admit he had ratted out his associates in 1925 to avoid a prison sentence. How embarrassing, especially since he was the one to basically introduce omerta in the American mafia.
30-50 years for prostitution, what bullshit kind of sentence was that! They should have just appreciated how great Lucky Luciano was and let him go. I was so sad when they deported him back to Italy, and absolutely devastated when he died so young! I still miss him. Thank you 💛 for making this documentary about his life 🙏 ❤ 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙
he will organize, organized crime... i cant believe ppl who havent finished elementary school want to be narrators.. Lmao ''if it was already organized crime then what did he organize?''Lol
Wow, this is stupendous. It wasn't organized crime until Lucky came along and organized it. It was just a bunch of street thugs battling it out with each other. You must be high to not understand something so simple.
What they mean is he wasn't murdered or took out, he died as an old man of a heart attack! No one would dare have the balls to try and take Lucky out! He controlled it from prison, when he got deported , controlled it always!
As a NY State resident all of my life, Dannemora is NOT "Siberia" or "500 miles" from NYC; not even close. Upstate NY, even the northernmost parts, isn't even close to "Siberia". And the northernmost border is maybe 200 miles from NYC. Profoundly Stupid. Also, it's not "Grand Meadow", it's "Great Meadow" (locally known as "Comstock") maximum security prison, just outside of Whitehall, NY. This has to be a copy/paste of a shitty Discovery Channel show.
It's a legend we'll never know for sure. He grew up in a immigrant neighborhood in New York so people who didn't speak English couldn't pronounce his last name Luciano correct they'd pronounce it wrong and say "Looky-ano " so they started calling him Looky then they left it at Lucky
Sir when Luciano died in his 60s ur Pablo was in his Diapers. And also there is a difference between a mobster and a terrorist drug animal. Pablo is gone Mafia still exists not only in Italy or USA also Australia Canada
He was called "lucky" because he found a billion dollars in a crack in the sidewalk, and someone said "you're lucky", and the name "lucky Luciano" stuck. Not many people know that.
@@caseymckenzie3951 No, he really found a billion dollars in a crack in the sidewalk. Honest he did. I was a really, really big crack in the sidewalk in the middle of time square during the great depression. It was extra lucky because people didn't have a lot of money at that time, and a crack big enough to fit a billion dollars in would be a very, very big crack, so lucky nobody else found it before lucky did. It was the day before he got stabbed, so I can see why people still get confused and believe that's why he was called lucky. I would say finding a billion dollars was a smidgen more lucky than getting stabbed in the face.
@@caseymckenzie3951nope he grew up in a immigrant neighborhood section of New York and they couldn't speak English and couldn't pronounce his last name "Luciano" they'd pronounce it wrong "Looky-ano" then they started calling him "Looky" then everyone just started calling him Lucky
Why does Mr. Raab refuse to pronounce Luciano"s name correctly, does he think that he is disrespecting him, he has been dead since 1962. All Mr. Raab is doing is making himself look petty.
Good documentary,informative and well Researched BUT at 44:21 when Luciano was moved from Clinton Correctional facility to a prison known as a country Club isnt Grand meadow, it's GREAT MEADOW CORRECTIONAL FACILITY!! Maybe in the 1940s it was known to be a Country Club (I doubt it though) it's just as bad if not worse than Clinton. They're both Class A maximum security prisons,in Clinton (little Siberia) the yard is half on a huge hill with 100 plus Court's with little wood stoves to keep warm and cook on. Charles Luciano actually helped get a Church built and Completed INSIDE THE PRISON and as nice as most other's. Great meadow prison yard is a huge black top(parking lot) with weights, phone's, basketball and handball Court's. Both prisons are Well known and house the worst of the worst and the guards are almost as bad as the inmate's with all the Corruption and abuse.
Luciano was underated they talk more about al capone then they do him
Al Capone was that gangsta that's why.
@Bob-te3le he was also Napolitane and the Sicilians would never have followed him, just like Genovese and Gotti ultimately

His smartest move was probably when he ratted out his friends in secret to avoid a prison sentence in 1925.

They loved him in Cuba
Body guards, bullet proof cars... unbelievable

That's not anything like an impressive number of girls by brothel...
25:47 is my favorite scene
Richest? I don't think so. Even adjusted for inflation, Pablo Escobar's countless billions could buy and sell Luciano hundreds of times over.
Pablo was a drug lord not really a monster he was more of a terrorist
He wasn’t really a mobster I meant
That's who automatically popped into my head.
Sir when Luciano died in his 60s ur Pablo was in his Diapers. And also there is a difference between a mobster and a terrorist drug animal. Pablo is gone Mafia still exists not only in Italy or USA also Australia Canada

Great meadow prison yard is a huge black top(parking lot) with weights, phone's, basketball and handball Court's. Both prisons are Well known and house the worst of the worst and the guards are almost as bad as the inmate's with all the Corruption and abuse.
Cant have been the richest in all fairness.🤷
The NORMANDIE Liner capsized with the fire mainly due to the amount of water poured into it to fight the fire...they destabalised it..OOps!!
