I worked for John years later in the car business in indianapolis. He was an honest straightforward guy who worked hard. I can't make excuses for his past, but from what I saw, he worked very hard to turn his life around. John, if you're reading this, this is matt, your old paintless dent repair guy!

If they weren't so greedy and had pay the dude what he was due for doing the job he wouldn't have ratted and they wouldn't be in prison right now. But they wanted to be penny pinchers.
@@antonioacevedo5200 ...turns out he was a little smarter & a lot tougher than they thought he was. Seems to me they were the stupid ones, shoulda just paid the man.
I grew up in South Philly and remember this guy through friends. I played basketball with his brother Billy who was killed. Billy had skills as a basketball player. Was familiar with most if not all of the people mentioned in this story. I wish John and his wife nothing but the best and hope that he doesn't succumb to those past demons of retribution, revenge and violence...
Billy was a great hockey player too and friend of my fathers. I used to play with him and his son on sunday mornings in Pennsauken with a bunch of other south philly guys. I am only a few years older than his son and Billy taught me alot about how to play the game of hockey. It was a sad day when we heard what happened. I hope he is resting Peace and his family is doing well.
I think he was part of the glorified Philly crew, with Paulie “Pension Plan” Pilotto, Harry Lucci, Tommy “Toupee” Stellano, Sammy Meatballs AKA Sam Pagliarulo, the other Tom, John Jr., Vinnie Gorgeous (used to be Vinnie Schnoz before the nose job)
Damn... this is one of the best stories I've ever heard... ths wiseguys created a killingmachine, then they tried to get rid off the killingmachine, then the killingmachine gave them a surprise they didn't expect...
His wife says she only knows the "good" John, but here he is in WITSEC and he's still scrapping with people and leaving threatening voicemails. This dude is going to wind up dead or back in the joint. If he goes back to prison, his wife will visit him every weekend. SMH. Neither one seems real bright.
That interviewer is just excellent! I was so into this cause of him. The questions he asked, the facial expressions, the emotion he shows makes the people he interviews tell everything, and really express themselves. Amazing work!
if he would have got paid attend thousand he would have did several other murders has several different path a different path probably leading to more destruction everything happens for a reason and in the midst of confusion while trying to figure out why I just trusting in God and understand that it will make sense in the end
Not true I was doing demo work in va. And this one guy was with the mob in ny and turned into an informant he was a really good dude though he helped put the big bosses away and New York he was on the show VH1 mobsters he was also on the radio telling about his life. This guy turned his whole life around work a regular job and was down-to-earth and cool tell you all the stories he did robbing people and killing people and having the mailman on Tapped where he can get whatever he wanted that dude was the s*** and this was last year I worked with him
***** you're fucking ignorant as fuck. its actually making me sick.. are you even from the area. do you know the real facts? billy was a street guy he hung around street guys just because he wasn't heavily involved or a made guy or even part of crew doesn't mean shit. He was very much apart of and aware of that life.
Bobby Manna I am not from Philly, and have never even been there before. Every video I have seen on Veasey said his brother was a civilian.What crimes specifically was Billy part of?
***** Really every video says he is a civilian maybe you should watch this again. and comprehend. And lastly i rest my case you are not from the area and are relying on youtube n google as your sources..
Clay Robert I'm no expert but he's got a lot of the traits. He's certainly charmed his way into the life of his country wife and his local church. Also a good car salesman. Also had no compunction about smashing a glass into somebody's face at local restaurant. Sick guy. He could still be killing people. They should keep an eye on him
Living in South jersey,do I remember these times.I met Joe Merlino through my business. Joe to me is a real nice guy.Jersey home was like a bunker, his wife is just so nice as well.
Michelle's Side Thats the truth !!!!And know what else ???Hes blessed by God !!!I dont care what anybody says ...God has a purpose for his life and his sins are forgiven him!!!!
what a stupid question, the number the times they shoot a guy doesnt tell you if the shooter liked or disliked the guy. You want to make sure hes deads.
So much for a hidden identity, he's been all over television. Damn, do you think anyone's in his neighborhood might be suspicious that somebody who looks exactly like him was on 60 Minutes admitting he is a hitman?
I WORKED WITH JOHN JOHN AT THE PHILLY ART MUSEUM. GREAT DUDE. I WASNT IN THE LIFE JOHN JOHN WAS AND HE KNEW IT. WE TREATED EACH OTHER WITH THE UPMOST RESPECT. TELL YOU ONE THING ABOUT JOHN JOHN IF HE LIKES YOU HE HAS YOUR BACK NO MATTER WHAT.. LIVE WELL JOHN JOHN ... PEACE !!!
Veasey's a straight maniac, and that's obvious, but I can't help but to laugh at this guy. He's basically just being honest. Just enough to let people know what he's about (still), while doing the whole church thing to make his community feel safe enough to let him be one of them. Gotta hand it to the guy in a way. I do think there are people in Philly that need to be very careful that's for sure.
He'd be better off lying. If he truly changed he wouldn't even want to talk about this. He is a sociopathic murderer who relishes the attention and life he lived as a "tough guy" he wouldn't be punching ppl of he changed
You can see he's still a full blown psychopath. The voicemails he's leaving women and talking about giving them aids with needles stuck on shopping carts. I mean - wtf kind of mind does that take? To actually come up with those scenarios? He's a sick full blown psychopath. Manipulative - hence he's good at sales. Probably shakes customers hand before closing and puts pressure on the hand enough for the guy to say yeah no problem i'll buy it. LOL
usually the best gun for that kind of job, not a lot of noise & if they were smart they would of hit him behind the ear instead of the thickest part of the skull.
Stanfa should have paid him the money he owed for the contract. Stanfa dishonored himself for greed and love of money. And ended up staring at walls and wondering what went wrong.
Wish he was my grandpop I’d just keep asking him to tell me stories and smoke 💨 and eat Philly cheesesteaks.. I’d be like grandpa tell me how u snuck that guy at the bar and smashed the glass through his face 😭
I can say that we all have a past and that John is a work in Progress. I only say this because I’m speaking from experience. What is impossible for man is possible for God. We are His Workmanship. The Bible teaches us to Love one another and to Pray for One Another. We all make mistakes and hopefully John has made better choices since this video. May we all live and learn from one another. To everyone who reads these words I say Jesus Loves You, I Love You and May we look at John with that same Love. Shalom- 😎👍
No sympathy for that lady complaining about getting threats. That’s the life you choose marrying into the mob and also bring connected in anyway with the mob.
It is a fact that people can change. People CAN completely turn their lives around. BUT they must be able to be honest with themselves. Almost by definition, somebody who murders like this is a sociopath, or what can be called personality disorder. Pathological liars don't usually do well in getting honest with themselves. They can be extremely convincing and persuasive too. I have trouble imagining someone can 'develop' a conscience from a void.
This just goes to show that anybody can have 20-100 bodies behind them and you wouldnt even know it. They can be the nicest people you know.
Its sooo scary.
That's because they manipulate people. A sociopath will only reveal what they want you to see.

I suspect that, since he doesn't seem to be to smart, that they could take advantage of him by not paying him.

You don't kill your own friends for self gain and ever gain redemption. People without a conscience never gain one later in life.
I agree. You either have a conscience or you don't.
true Big R, suckers are everywhere though.
Unless they had no conscience as a child and were taught and became healthy adults, you are correct. This person has no morals/ conscience.
