“Ok everybody. This is Mooney dash cam..”. I look forward to hearing that on every video, bro. You’re still going strong with the channel and always never fall short of content. Keep up the outstanding job!
To think that all of these nut jobs were all running around New York at the same time. The 70’s and 80’s seemed to be a bloody time if you lived in certain areas of New York. DeMeo and his crew. Scarpa, Sammy the Bull and Gotti, Casso and Amuso.. it was a bomb going off constantly.
Don't forget Tommy karate.
There were gangs outside Mafia too like Pagans, HAs, Latin Kings, Ghost Shadows, BTK, and that just NYC.
I wouldn't really call Roy paranoid because people who are paranoid think people are going to kill them for no good reason, Roy absolutely had every reason to fear.
Both killers and the cops were coming for him. The best he could hope for was 20 years if he snitched.
Staying in town was a death sentence....
Speaking about paranoid the best example was Nicky scarfo
Evil bastard definitely had it coming.
yeah ..more like dreading...but that poor kid selling vacuum cleaners...thats paranoia
I always tell people, "Think of every mob movie you've ever seen, where there's a guy who's too violent to the point of being a lose cannon, and you just know he is gonna get whacked by his own people because he's just too much. Someone that Joe Pesci might play. That was Roy DeMeo, and he ended exactly that way."
You forgot The Pitera Crew! An extremely dangerous Bonnano crew in the 1980s..
Joe pesci as Roy demeo in bio movie would be epic
@@kevinstimelsky673yup they never messed with Tommy Karate. There was no way. Tommy would have killed them all at once just using his hands. He was a real Ninja Assassin.
You need a mob nickname like "The Undertaker" because you always show up in your truck after a body drops
How about “Total Recall” or the Time Machine
Well until he hits puberty we should call him Squirrel Nuts.
Another job well done. I was working at this job years ago in the early 90's and there was this Italian girl from Canarsie. Also one of the retiree's that was working at this place used to love to talk about these guys. The second woman knew Gambino's son Joey and I think Tommy when they ran Consolidated so she would tell me stories about them and seeing Don Carlo driving a brown Benz in Massapequa on occasion. Anyway the young girl from Canarsie was always urging me to read the book "Murder Machine". That book was about this whole crew of Roy DeMeo and Nino Gaggi. One of the craziest mob books I've ever read so if you're a reader def check it out. That girl i truly believe got married to a wiseguy. He just seemed different and I went to school on the South ; Shore, L.I. and it was a mobbed up neighborhood; he gave her a giant three karat rock, white gold. Beautiful.
Great stuff, it’s funny some things you never forget, but other easy stuff I can’t remember…thanks for sharing
It was probably platinum if a 3 carat diamond. 💰
@@RZ-sh6yi Yeah ur probably right. At that time women still liked yellow gold, but I remember how shiny it was.
@@carlo_cali white gold looks like platinum, but platinum has a nicer shine. (Im not a jeweler, just have seen the differences)
Great book Murder machine ,My whole mothers side is from Canarsie, My Uncles were with the Demeo crew,..Patty Testa was my Uncles Best man,Big Frank Lasterino was his other close friend,adopted Franks son out of wedlock for him...,Dinomes,Bonagoros,Diana's and Merolas all family from Canarsie before it changed,..still remember when Patty got killed and my uncles where laying low on LI not sure where the order came from,..in the book they explain the murder of my uncle John Quinn who Demeo killed over the stolen car Rackets ,they killed his young girlfriend also and left my aunt Regina a widow with 4 kids,..So many stories from that neighborhood as well as Bensonhurst my Father's families Neighborhood where our Private Sanitation business is ..,Morte Prima Di Disonore
Awesome job Mooney. I have been waiting a long time for this. Thank you.
I’m happy I could bring this to you
Roy knew he was going to his death because he left his wallet and Vig book at home. According to MM, there were "admissions" by some of participants of how it went down. Roy took his coat off and sat down for a cup of coffee, and Nino came out of hiding and shot him, the 2 more from the Twins to show loyalty to Nino.
Interesting I heard the coffee story before but this time around I couldn’t find info on it so I didn’t want to bring it up. Thanks!
What page is this on that nino shot him or was there? Read it twice never read that part I would appreciate what page
@Long Strokes page 348, bottom 2 paragraphs of the page. After reviewing the text, I noticed the book says it was at one of Patty Testa's garages, not specifically the one Patty was murdered in by Frank Lastorino later on. I met and talked to Crew member Pete LaFroscia 3 weeks ago, for the record.
Only those who were present will ever know the truth you can't say this happened or that happened all we know is someone Close to him betrayed Roy I'm not going to listen Comments that theorise what happened knowing full well they were never part of that life
Nino probably wasn't there.
Another great video! Love your channel. Thanks.
Great video! I watch on my lunch break and I am so appreciative for the fantastic content.. I bought a pair of wooden dress shoe stretchers that were Roy’s from a auction!!
Great job as usual!
Great story Mooney! What goes around comes around, and Roy certainly had it coming. Thanks!
Nice work Mooney sir ! This was a fascinating time for the mob . Stay well !
Excellent work, Mooney! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and glad to see you back at it! Hi, Truck! :)
Hey truck. I admire your efforts in telling these stories. I can't even comprehend how life would be to so paranoid as DeMeo was. What a horrible way to live, then get killed by the only people he trusted. Thanks Mooney.
He trusted a bunch of serial killers. What a shock!
Are you kidding me? He "on the record" killed over 50 people and is suspected for a total between 150-200. If his victims went in the Gemini, they more than likely knew him. This guy was lucky do only get bullets. Also, generally speaking, that's how most wise guys that get killed die. Their friends are the one luring them in.
Love your videos Mooney, keep it up. You should have a million subscribers at this point damnit. Happy holidays brudda.
Hey Joe, I'm just wondering if it would be possible to get a microphone to clip on your sweater neck or whatever? I know I'm rapidly becoming ancient so my hearing is less sensitive than it once was, but there may be others who love a better shot at hearing every word you say. Thank you for all you enthralling videos - I especially love the mob ones and can relate perfectly to Henry Hill's opening line "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster".
interesting to know ty for sharing mooney. keep going tc 😊 now let me watch:)
Nice video as always. Is there any chance you can do a show about the Gallo brothers? Show their hangout on Presidents street? Happy Holidays.
Great vid but what's more amazing is the time and effort that goes in to making it. The distance traveling to the different scene's, then the amount of time it take's to edit the vid. Just amazing. Thank's Mooney Dash Cam.
I really enjoy your videos. My wife is from Massapequa and has shown me a couple of houses but you tell the story so well every time. Thanks again
Love that thanks
Yet another great video, so LETS FLIP THIS AROUND AND GET INTO IT
Another top video mate… respect from the UK🇬🇧… more Colombo related videos if possible pal….👏👏👍
Great work Mooney, always enjoy your videos!

Keep it up brother, it's all very interesting. Outstanding job
Thanks Marty
Roy was insane...great story as always. Definitely my favorite UA-cam channel. Keep'em coming Mooney!
Love this thank you
@@MOONEYDashCam Absolutely and Thank You as well.
Great video as always Mooney! 👍🏼
Thank you thank you
That's how it works in the life. You get it from someone who is closest to you, someone you trust. You don't see it coming.
Excellent video man. Getting the home movie footage of Roy DeMeo was a major score on your part. You've got some excellent resources at your disposal!
What year was that home video?
@@LarryFleetwood8675 July 4 1980
I always wondered how they got hold of the chandelier and put it with his body. You just answered that. Thank you. You do a great Job. Mooney. Matt
Another good one , like how you give the background stories to kinda set things up for the current video. 👍
A little setup goes a long way thanks for noticing
Phenomenal job with this . and channel on top to bottom of it..This is better than ANY documented documentary..Seeing the same local locations Demeo operated in and out of....This must of taken some discipline/ diligence to put this all together...Well done..Liked and Subscribed ...keep em coming..and GOING hard with it..
Another great vid Salute from London
Awesome content bro 🇮🇹🤘🏻
Great channel man. You post some awesome content. Keep killing it!
Thanks tucker I try
Superior mob genre content as always.. I've always wondered about the tapes made in that car. Those would very interesting to listen to today.
Hi... Mooney that's great video 👍
Thank you!!
Love the pop ups. good job on your videos!
Another great video. That keep getting better.
Thank you Mike
Thanks for sharing ! Great Video ! Hello truck 🛻 love from Canada 🇨🇦
Very informative, Hi Truck and Mooney !
Thanks MaryAnn
You took your life in your hands back then, being a door-to-door salesman!
It was pretty safe unless you parked outside of Roy’s house
@@MOONEYDashCam I used to do door-to-door sales, you wouldn't believe some of the characters I'd ran into, but none of them ever tried to shoot me as far as I can remember! 😂
I didn't go door to door but I worked doing in-home sales of home improvement (roofs, windows, exterior coating, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, etc.) for a couple of years during Obama. This was in Los Angeles. I have a trunk full of stories of some of the weird and threatening characters I met. Somehow I got the rep that I would walk in anywhere so my boss's used to send me on the sketchy ones. I did have guns pulled on me. By crazy little old white trash "ladies". I once walked into a Samoan gangster sitdown. Fortunately the gang leader turned out to have been a student of my deceased father in the 8th grade and he remembered my dad fondly. I dealt with Hollyweird types whose home was outfitted like "The Silence of the Lambs" set. I had a surreal experience with a Rob Zombie lookalike where large rats were running around my feet in a mostly darkened room in a partially ruined house. There were more. Most people, thank God, are normal and nice but in Southern California we have far more than our share of strange ones.
@@brianmccarthy5557 DeMeo - "I told you I don't want your fucking vacuum cleaner...Bang, Bang!"
Lol, I don't even open my door unless its someone w/ a big cardboard check!
Nice job MOONEY!!! Huge fan
I appreciate that!
Great work
I really enjoy your channel. I left Queen's in 1999 as a 22 yr old. And watching your videos brings back great memories and shows me the present day streets of NY... I'd like to see my old neighborhood where E Money bags was killed if your interested.
Good video mooney !😮
Great Story, thax 4 It👍😁
Hi Bro, i like all your videos. very interesting to listen how these people lived once upon a time
Great video Mooney. Do you use an Apple Pixel lapel mic that links to your phone?
Roy's body was found 20 feet away from my house between Emmons ave and shoreparkway and 28st
Great story. No tears for Roy.
He doesn’t deserve them
Karma
This was a great video. I love your channel, and I love seeing all these legendary, notorious locations of real life mob history.
Is it true that Roy Demeo and Richard Kuklinski worked together?
Keep up the great work.
Supporting your channel Alberta Canada 🇨🇦.
Richard Kuklinski was a psychopathic liar. Most of what he claimed was demonstrably false, as with most hitman memoirs, including "I Heard You Paint Houses" by Frank Sheeran which Scorsese's film "The Irishman" was based on. Kuklinski certainly killed some people but he was basically a violent pornographer and pimp. He might have been on the Mafia's radar but he wouldn't have been trusted with anything important. DeMeo would have eaten him as a light breakfast snack.
Tell Peg we said hello
Acc
According to the Bull sammy the ice man Richard kuklinski was full full of bullshit wich I believe.
Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Some other channel already beat you to it bro but iam still going to watch your video to support.
Great research, onsites and story
Thanks as always Dan
Hey Mooney my brother, I absolutely love that you did this one at night. Very fitting theme for this particular piece. Thanks & stay safe out there my friend.
*Edit* I agree about & have always said that Castellano inadvertently wrote his own death warrant when he ordered the hit on Roy. I highly doubt Gotti(or anyone else) would have dared move on big Paul C had his top killer still been breathing & at the head of his crew of car thieves turned trained serial murderers😅
Another excellent and informative video! Is it true Castallano was cousins of Carlo Gambino? Like the outfit and great to see the truck this video! Stay warm and keep these great videos coming.
Yes, Nino Gaggi was also related to Carlo.
Thanks!
Thank you so much
I'm a huge Mafia fan and I really enjoy your channel. Good and accurate information. I would love to see some Don Carlo Gambino, Murder Inc. and Dutch Schultz episodes. Thank you very much!
Not sure you will get your wish. Mooney stopped posting almost a year ago.
Dissappeared.
@@rman52 I know. It´s sad. I enjoy his videos. Maybe he was whacked who knows...haha. Hope he is well
@@Veronica-nc2pl Some on the channel think that's actually a possibility. I think he might be shacked up with Betty. Ask Archie.
MOONEY Were have you been bro? or did I miss the last vid. either way great upload as always. And Remember to always do it in your under wear and most important take time to enjoy your pizza after :)
I’m back I’m back don’t worry
Best thing I've ever seen or heard on DeMeo's demise. Thanks Mooney and Truck. Looking good. Appropriately deserted industrial area at night to end Roy's story. I always had the image of the body dump site being in the marshes instead of a busy street. Plus not being discovered until after being towed for being abandoned ten days. Roy must have been pretty ripe by then.
He was actually partially frozen lol
@@MOONEYDashCam yep that's what I read. He was frozen
Yeah he didn't stink. My friend Det. Pergola was there. He just said he was frozen with his hands over his face.
Roy DeMeo is a character that fascinates me very much, I wish we could hear the recordings, I wonder what he thought and what he sounded like. Even though we hear him a bit in the home video.
right on man!!!!
You can't trust anyone at all in that life. It's all back stabbing and deception. Why would anyone get involved in that life is beyond me. Crazy
You never think it would happen to you
Yea,real grease all stuff!
@mstr wul1 Easy money.
@@MOONEYDashCam yes you would seeing as it was going on all the time around you
Wise guys is an insult , if they were wise they'd get out
Lots of money and some make it out happy.
I wonder if the Gemini Twins would drive by and laugh knowing Roy was still sitting in the trunk and no one found the car yet???
Bro this video is great but the audio is being affected by the wind and or whenever you are walking and talking it does not pick up a steady line of audible speech, you need a lapel mic or something similar otherwise I am a big fan, most of the places you go to on your videos I know them all because I had lived in NYC for 27 consecutive years. Great stuff and interesting to see a young dude that knows NYC mafia history and facts. Great video.
Mooney,
I'm a delivery guy and it would be awesome if you could do podcast so I can play it when I walking and delivering.
Hope you can consider this request.
God bless.
All other mafia crews seem amateurish compared to the Demeo crew. Good stuff
Hi Mooney, are you doing a Christmas lights tour around New York this year!?
A wind screen is needed for these cold NYC shoots but another great video. Roy got fed the same dish that he served countless of times.
That’s the next investment!
he's humble w his total marks. sketchy place mooney. cover phone w bb socks 🧦 to reduce wind sounds :). ootd hilarious u told us off 😂
Yes I did the sock trick before but I wasnt expecting the wind
@@MOONEYDashCam oh ok not well prepared then 🤣 now i just told u off - even hahaha 🤪 ✌️ty lol
@@snowbeach11 lool whackado
The wind ruin the what you was saying
Mooney where you been?? Hope all is well
Canarsie is such a different place now from what it was like in the DeMeo crew era.
Funny enough it generally doesn’t look much different but yes the area is different as far as the people and the crime
@@MOONEYDashCam I know that neighborhood real well. My wife grew up about 4 blocks from that garage. I did work on the building right across the street from the garage.
@@MOONEYDashCam At the opposite side of this same building is where Bruno Facciolo of the Lucchese family had his own social club. About 4 months prior to Roy's murder Facciolo held a party at his club to celebrate Alphonse D'Arco's and Louis Daidone's induction into the Lucchese family.
@joegimaggio3687 it’s was not a garage. It was a food wholesale warehouse.
@@daniellehorvath1628 yes but it was in the same building as Testa's garage.
I couldve sworn you already did this video like a year ago. Maybe it was nyc crime spot idk. Great video bro
ANOTHER GOOD ONE MOE…
Your videos are the absolute best shit out there MOONY. When I win the lottery, I am going to pay you a shit ton of money to take a week off your job, and give my son and I a tour of your great city in “the truck”, and take us to these awesome places from your videos. And all your favourite places to eat. You do a really, really great job my friend. I truly hope you are making some money from your great channel. Keep up the great work.
Mooney it’s been nine days I hope everything is good with you or are you busy enjoy the holidays this year earlier?
Just curious, how do you know the side door circled in red at the Gemini lounge was the death door, I heard it was the door further back, where the apartment was. thanks!
Hey you could be right I was going straight off memory for that one
Great job buddy. Right out of the book "Murder machine"
Great 👏
👍
Hi 🛻 Hi 🌜Mooney The Cam.
Good One Mooney as always. Big Paulie was looking after himself.
I hope Mr Truck is fine now.
Exactly he didn’t want Roy to take him down with the ship
Can u please do a video on the French conection heroin. That got stolen from. The I think the new York city police station. Love ya channel atb Danny f. from the UK
Moony dash cams only on the History Channel!!!!!
Thank you for your work man. I just finished reading the book - For the sins of my father written by Al Demeyo.
DeMeo, a cold blooded killer is always a favorite mob character! Great job Mr. Mooney!
One of the most fascinating
@@MOONEYDashCam nobodies better than you, bro! I liked the video clip of DeMeo not wanting to be filmed. A typical mobster reaction to the camera!
Saluti mooney…..👋🏻🇮🇹
NYC and vicinity is a sprawling massive place. Mooney has taken us to nearly every corner. I wonder if he still needs
a GPS to keep from getting lost? How many more videos till we get to the, "A Bronx Tale", Lilo Brancato story?
I might film this one tonight
@@MOONEYDashCam I don't know if you remember but, In the "Wise Guy Social clubs" video tour. I made a comment, "you should Dress
like a tourist and stumble in a club pretending to be lost and confused and give a report about the inside". It's funny that now you make a point to
display your attire for the trip!! lol
@@eezyclsmooth9035 it’s not a bad idea but I feel like many of these guys can spot me now no matter how I dress lol
It’s great to see these infamous places in our modern age. I bet that garage is haunted 👻
Man you are the bomb..driving thru all those towns 2 take us 2 the exact is nostalgic..thanks bro
Im looking at u! Good story.😊
Hahaha thanks
Big Paul really didn't want make Roy because of his predilection towards killing. After all was found out by Big Paul...it was Nino Gaggi's job, after-all Nino begged Paul to induct him.. Damn..being found in the trunk frozen to a Chandelier in a fetal position.. Great work Mooney, the ride a-longs are always awesome.
I was going to say why couldn't they smell his decomposing body, then you said "Jan 20th was when they found his body". The cold temps slow down decomp so that explains it. If it was the summer they'd probably find out asap.
He was half frozen when found.
He was one big greasy popsicle!
Very good job. I asked a historian once if he agreed that Roy Demeo and his crew would have scared the Nazi's. He agreed. Roy Demeo was one of the most brutal people ever born.
I have a suggestion for a program. How did mobsters pay for houses and cars. Big ticket items. Not like they could show proof of employment. Imagine being a real estate agent and showing a mobster a house and asking financial questions. Or a car, did they walk in the dealership with a bag of cash?
Joe Coffee had said it was close to 200 murders. The bottom line is you can believe any number. They say the same about Gregory Scarpa. What ever the number is you believe it.
A Roy DeMeo video drop??? Oh HELL YEAH! Nice job, Moon.
Thank you I knew you’d all enjoy this
Paul never knew about the kid getting killed or how close it was to an all out war with the Colombians. Nino kept as much as he could about Roy's dealings under the radar, Just kept telling Paul how much money Roy was making. It was the stolen autos to kuwait that brought the Feds into the stolen car case. The heat on the crew reached critical mass once the Feds were involved. Roy knew he was in big trouble and actually started planning to kill Paul first. Roy and Freddie DiNome (the guy who was filming the BBQ) did a few practice runs with Freddie driving Roy on a motorcycle and Roy being the shooter. Could you imagine how with Roy's size and bulk it would have been him shooting as Freddy rips down the street? I think the blood in the backseat was from searching the car after the recorder had been found. Police may have gotten the reecorder but Nino got the tape. I agree with you also that he never would have meekly went to get killed, he either would have went on the attack or perhaps flipped if he was arrested. He wasn't going to just lay down. All of this happened after Roy bailed on Nino after they killed the Eppolito's and Nino got in a shootout trying to get away from the murders each had just committed.
Lots of good insight in this comment
You are totally wrong. Paul knew about the kid being killed. For one thing it was in the papers that this kid had been killed and paul knew it was roy. Nino kept as much as he could from paul but he knew about this hit. He didnt know all the details about the cuban drug dealers but he knew it was bad. Paul knew way more about roys doings than what nino told him
Also roy saved nino after that shootout that you said roy bailed on him. Nino got shot and the bullet from the cops gun was stuck in ninos arm. Roy snuck in the hospital and cut the bullet out of ninos arm and replaced it with another bullet to throw doubt on the shooting. Nino was aquited in that trial.
@@jesseknorr8594 I love the way you start out with "You are totally wrong", and then concur with what I originally said, with "Nino kept as much as he could from paul" . Nino was shot in the neck, not the arm when he was arrested. Roy fled in an opposite direction entirely. Roy did not sneak into the hospital and remove the bullet. When first treated for the bullet wound Nino refused to let the Dr.'s remove the bullet. However they x rayed it while it was still in his neck. When he dug it out and flushed it he presented a slug his nephew had snuck in not Roy, youre way off on that claim. The prosecution presented the X ray at trial and it clearly was a differnet caliber than the one Nino said he dug out from his neck. Nino was convicted of assault. On appeal it was discovered Nino had bribed a Juror. This is ,my last comment on this video's subject. Beleive what you want I'm calling it as I remember it.
@@gordontanner4407 what i said was you were wrong about paul not knowing about the kid being killed butnyes nino did hide some shit from paul. Also it wasnt columbians it was cuban drug dealers. It wasnt dominick who put the bullet in nino. Roy threw the gun in the sewer so he went back got the gun out and got a bullet and put it in nino. Dont get all mad because you are wrong
