    Chin was probably the best boss, he hated everything John stood for because he killed a boss and was bringing too much heat onto the families with how much of a showman he was, chin was the complete opposite.

      @@derrmann1800 That attempted hit catapulted Chin's Cosa Nostra career. In the comments of Sammy's last video a lot of people talked about how long Nino Gaggi held a grudge over a fight. Vito Genovese held a grudge for more than 20 years because Costello checked him when Genovese was talking down Meyer Lansky and Ben Siegel and saying how Italians shouldn't be working with Jewish gangsters. Costello told Genovese in front of Lucky Luciano to cool it, he was an immigrant and no better than them. Genovese never got over that.

    By law, the FBI MUST act upon any credible threat of murder they receive on U.S. soil regardless who the target or offender is.
    They knew damn well the threat was credible. It is why they told him. This was not their first song and dance.

      Sammy isn't going to have any. Those guys were Lucchesses, while Sammy was a Colombo in 60s-70s, and a Gambino from 1974 on. Very few people will have any Tommy DeSimone stories because he was so young, and was killed after only being on the streets for a few years. Tommy DeSimone didn't really make an impression or leave a mark on the streets. He was a young, wreckless psychopath who got killed shortly into his mob career because he was a homicidal maniac who couldn't take orders or show respect to his elders on the streets. Sammy probably never even met him because he was so small time while Sammy was already moving up the ladder.
      He may have a story or two about Jimmy Burke but I wouldn't count on it. Jimmy Burke didn't have the juice on the streets for other families to use. He was exclusive to the Lucchesse family. The Irish crew that Sammy used and dealt with were the Westies. Other families aren't going to be fighting over the services of someone like Jimmy Burke because he wasn't Italian, therefore he had no standing among the other Five Families.
      The movie Goodfellas vastly exaggerated Jimmy Burke's, Tommy DeSimone's, and even Henry Hill's role in the NY mob. The only true player from that movie is Paulie Vario. Paul Vario was a legit captain that other families knew and respected. The other three guys really weren't important enough for the other families to care about or remember.

      @@Britton_Thompson eh I don’t know about all this. It’s widely known that Burke worked with Gotti and his crew. They both robbed JFK together. All these families worked closely with each other also, it’s not as you say it is......that each family keeps to themselves. Billy Batts was a Gambino solder and was killed because he wanted his gambling rackets back after getting out of Jail. Burke didn’t want to give them back.
      Yea, sorry.......but a lot of what you just said was incorrect.

      @brittain Thompson i knew goodfellas was far fetched when it came to several characters but Jimmy Burke was defo a main player in the mafia he was an earner for vario and I knew tommy died at 24 but surely there is still some stories out there of what he had done whilst alive, most the stuff you explained i already know and some of it is not accurate although I do appreciate the reply from you and @dan

    Sammy when talking about different members of the mafia as …this guy was real violent,…real vicious…..a killer….real tough guy. I am waiting for him to say one of them was a saint just a wonderful hit man.
