Joe always looks like he’s still undercover. I think he fell in love with The Mob Look 😂
The mob look ! What is that .?
Let's talk Colombian cartels pre rock .Cubans love Colombian s
Mex. Vs Guat .so on and so on
Carter and the boatlift brought
Entertainment.
Except mobsters don't look like that.
You need way more mafia education
Defo
@@Tank4Lifethey look like evil thugs in sicily. Ive met them. At least 4 or 5. All thieves and bullies
An incredible story of bravery and heroism fought along the Mafia corridors of power, using their own weapons...there should be a FBI medal called ' Joe Pistone'..
Programmed sheep. The most dangerous and largest Mafia organization is the United States law enforcement agency all of them.
That is still one of the coolest law enforcement operations in recent history.
I’m born and raised on Staten Island. I was ten years old when they found Sonny Black with his hands cut off . Front page of the local paper
I'm third gen on SI on my dads side and way back from there on my moms side.

The first time I heard that, Sonny got his hand cut muhammad style
O.g. status.
That's F'n crazy.
I always put my bulletproof hair on when, i have a meeting in the basement.

If you’re going to quote somebody make sure you know the quote word for word 🤡
Forget about it!!!!
Joe is arguably one of America's best public servants.
Big jim kahlstrom, former head of the fbi's new yahk owfice is the number 1 public servant in the u.s!!
6 years?! INCREDIBLE
Lefty spent years trying to teach Joe Pistone how to be a wiseguy without considering that Joe was much wiser....
seeing a movie so many times while watching this I feel like i was there :)
😆😂🤣
You weren't there, nor do you know what it feels like. GTFOH
Sonny Black faced his fate like a true wise guy, should have really gotten a pass.
Stood up like no other
And if the situation was different (for example let’s say he stole some money) he probably would have gotten the pass.
Massino wanted him out of the way so he could take the reins unchallenged, sonny held alot of power in the family
Found washed up in a body bag in the east river with his hands cut off.
@@Terracecasualx5 because of who he shook hands with.
These documentaries are pure class, from the research and fact-finding, to the theme music and excellent narration, they are absolutely faultless. I really am grateful to whoever arranged these programmes as they are the very epitome of what a UA-cam documentary should be, and are no doubt enjoyed by people in every country across the world. The second-rate cash-ins and AI codswallop that are polluting UA-cam currently will vanish into obscurity, but these wonderful BD docs will still be enjoyed 50, 100 years from now, when AI will perhaps be starting to catch up.
It’s actually a fbi show which he took and posted as if it was his

Thanks Mr Capone
When you think about it, it's actually insane that this guy went undercover in a Mafia organisation. A time when they were at their peak and insanely ruthless. I wouldn't even want to make eye contact with one, let alone infiltrate them as an undercover cop. What they did to people who owed a little bit of dough was bad enough. Imagine them finding a cop. Palpitations just thinking about it.

Donnie Brasco was my favorite movie for a long time! As a Girl, I was teased about my 2 favorite movies. The other movie was "Above The Law" Steven Seagal. These were 2 of the best movies ever!
Still 2 of my favorites....
@@jeffreyferris218 The Hunt for Red October was a great movie as well. I'm not a criminal or do I have any interest in that life but I think I've seen every Mafia movie since the late 70s. I said I'm not a criminal but I did just heist your play list of Bible movies. 😂 I've probably seen many of them but they're all worthy of endless viewings.
Yes, Bible movies are my favorite. And that's what keeps me going actually...🙏🏻
@@jeffreyferris218 They re my favorites these days. Since 2005.
Comme moi🇫🇷🇫🇷😚
Pistone wasn’t an FBI agent playing a mobster seems like he was a mob guy playing an agent. Lol
You’re actually correct. When working deep cover sometimes the lines get blurred.
Also, one of the reasons Joe Pistone was able to meld into the mafia as he did, was that he grew up around guys like this. It was natural for him. He was the perfect undercover guy at the right time.

I'd love to see more of that Kings Court surveillance footage.

I used to watch the sheet out of that vhs long time ago.

He’s still an American hero!
@@Truecrimecommunityhe was. Until he abandoned all his morals and principles for popularity and money that he's now lost
Liked and Saved! will give a watch after work
You will love this movie. I've seen it about 5 times !
Cause to many interruptions.
You don't have a job . Why lie ?
Does Joe Pistone really think that dark sunglasses 🕶️ protect his identity?
clearly yes he does
No that man is still alive an living in PROTECTIVE CUSTODY FOREVERRRRRRR😂😂😂!! Probably changes his name and address like his underwear😂😂😂
I mean the glasses worked for super man 😜
@@craighewes1745Who says he’s in protective custody? I know for a FACT that he’s not hiding from anyone. He’s been back to NY for business and pleasure and doesn’t need any security team on him at all.
He uses those glasses for his vision, not hiding at all
Whaaaaat my uncle raised rollers & homing birds still does
My husband did too! Rollers.
I had seen this before but it was nice to see it again.thanks for upload.
Joe pistone did things most men couldn’t or wouldn’t do ! Cheers joe
Yeah lmao
YOU ARE CORRECT MOST PEOPLE WOULDNT BE A UNDERCOVER SNITCH 😂
@@JS-es3dz he wasn’t a snitch he was an fbi agent. Get your head straight. All you social media tuff guys prob had your mommy bring your lunch on cabbage patch tray wee into your 50’s
Yo Donnie, don't say nothing! You're OK. Donnie, don't say nothing.
I went undercover in the Mafia right before Joe ,, but the FBI got tired of me peeing my pants,, said diapers were not in the budget
Maybe that's the reason why John Alite has a funny walk. Diapers are probably uncomfortable.
@@leoarc1061 😳😂
The most compelling story concerning the mob & the informant EVER TOLD!!
Not informant
@@averagejoe9642 Donnie IS an FBI informant also detective
@@brittneyakabeezus260 Not informant, undercover FBI agent
He’s an undercover detective. An informant is an active mob guy INFORMING the police as to what crimes they’re committing.
@averagejoe9642 you don't know what you're replying about. I've studied "la costa nostra" since I was a teen. My favorite gangster is/was Anthony 'gaspipe' Costellano. Of the Lucchesse crime family.
Me as a Mob Boss or Capo I wouldn't have overlooked that boat incident
Right? That boat was a giveaway. I would have right away known.
Yes!!!
RIGHT!
💯
i wonder how pistone is able to walk due to the massive balls he has
😂
You should be a poet. 😂
That was a roller-coaster ride
Bowlegged
Having the entire government behind you doesn't take balls to do anything he didn't have balls he had a country
He went undercover for six year's and got a ty and 500 bucks??????
Pretty crap deal you ask me 😂
Crazy right lol
What do you mean? He goes by Johnny Depp now. Doing well.
@@Chez8922-kf6cy my mistake your right LoL 🤣 he's doing very well 😅
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
the glasses are on loan from chuck norris ;-)
My father and uncle used to hang out with Sonny Blacks son. His name is Sammy Nap. He just came home from doing 25yrs. He killed someone in the motion lounge after his father died.
Dawn says stop lying you pos
Sonny was a man. He took his lick because he knew the rules.
Unlike all the rats on UA-cam now except skinny Joey
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾
Lmao. And now Rudy may be joining them in the can😂😂
The show goes on and the party never ends
Sonny should hv stayed in the bar
🤣👍🏾👍🏾
And as far as I'm concerned He Should Still Be There!!!
@@tonywilliams6584 @2_thumbs_baby • 😂😂😂 well said.
Sonny had respect for the fact he brought a "RAT" into the fam he took his death like a man!!! Know your roll jabronie!!! 😎
Those were the days . Middle class still stood a chance. .
Great documentary
Great video Jason! Hey they can't all be long, but It definitely was full of information... keep up the great work!
Todays mafia is a joke. Postone AND hill both lived in the public, doing interviews and podcasts
whats that bass groove @34:34 ?
I can't help but feel sympathy for Sonny Black.
Why?
Me to and Lefty.
''id die with you'' lefty is really a loyal friend
Moral of the story is..... you may think u big time in these streets they'll even let u get rich until the U.S. GOVERNMENT decides enough is enough yall doin too much it's time to go 😂
100% FACTS!!!!
Refer to young THUG
If this story tells me anything else it speaks to how poweless the NY 5 families are that they never got to Pistone!
Love Joe’s story, and respect his commitment to his profession.
I would never be able to do it. I’d be better off joining the mob outright.
No when you step into the place Joe Pistone.went. two you are that person. For Life. This is a Fact.Yes you can go back to your true self but. You can never forget who you where.
Joe Pistone, balls of steel. Could have been discovered and killed at any moment but kept going because he believed in the rule of law. The world needs more Joe Pistones.
Dude. You think mafia guys are-or were-so stupid as to murder an FBI agent?
Let’s be honest here. Logging and mining are far more dangerous occupations than law enforcement at all levels.
A cop was ambushed, shot and killed not far from here last year by some crazed meth tweeker.
Tragic? Absolutely. The young trooper left behind a wife and children.
But it was national news, his funeral attended by governors, senators, thousands of cops.
Today, the intentional killing of a cop is rare.
It’s not 1929 Chicago, or 1875 in Tombstone.
Let’s be honest.
Bravo et merci pour ce contenu. J'ai vu le film il y'a quelques années avec J. Depp et du coup le très ressemblant dans son rôle A. Pacino.
The two words that still push a button with Joe Pistone till this very day: Tony Mirra.
Or Patsy....
Martin Mcbeth always pissed me to my core
While we're talking two words
Got that right
Music is deadly.
I could never be undercover and rat out the mob especially if I hung out with them for six years, I couldn’t do that job I would say fire me before I do that job.
imagine just being a barfly for 7 months and get paid doing it.
I wonder why they didn’t show Sunny Black, with pigeons in the movie
Why cant a video game be like this.
Loved this documentary on how it works with the "Mob" .. 🙈🤪☠️🤣
LOL the much more modern trucks used as 1970s-era trucks in this documentary! 😂😂😂
@ 14:07 This is called a Jump In.
Pigeons were the communications...when they were gone sonny was gone
The Mafia wasn’t exactly destroyed. The Bononnos came back a couple of years later stronger than ever.
A couple? Try 12. And they were kicked off the commission.
They literally didn't come back stronger. In fact, foreign mobsters have taken over. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Beyond that, knowing the exact structure and chain of command was invaluable. Virtually thr entire syndicate in New York is gone thanks to the work Pistone did.
@@Tank4Life Please look up Joseph Messino. He took over as Boss after the Pistons case. I’m not going to get into a back and forth with you; but you really need to do some research.
Oh; did you know the the brother of Chin Gigante still gets paid six figures for doing a Longshoreman’s job that only exist on paper. Not bad for an organization with power.
@@jeffthornton6998I’m in charge here
I remember Ruggiero when I was 7 yrs old hanging out by Patsy Pizzeria in Mulberry st. I would see him 3x a week I didn't know that this would be this big of a deal
Why can't no-one pronounce his name right. They're all saying 'Ruggerio'.
I read the book, years ago, that's why I noticed they don't pronounce it correctly.
Definitely recommend the book, it goes into a lot more detail than this documentary, it's a thick volume.
@@user-wq9wd6qg6twhat book?
The thing that doesn't make any sense about this is the fact that the FBI didn't arrest Sonny Black when they told him his friend was an FBI agent but yet at 46:49 they arrested Lefty when they saw him saving his life. Very strange to say the least.
this is great
The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.
Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.
He also has to make sure he doesn’t say any law that he broke. And we all know he definitely committed crime, how you running with mobsters for 6 years and never broke a law
In the book he was hanging out with the Jilly crew pretty long after the incident and he hit both Frankie and Patsy, Jilly was the only made guy in the crew.
I think he had a ghost writer for his book though I could be incorrect about that.
Exactly well noticed
We laud soldiers for a moment of extreme heroism. Where uncommon valor was common. Here is a guy that walked into the lions den for six years. He wasn't a two bit FBI guy raiding a pastors house or an ATF guy executing an airport executive. But a real man going up against real criminals.
There's going to be some that disagree with my assessment of today's G-men. That's too bad. They destroyed their integrity themselves. I would've been proud of Joe Pistones FBI.
Wow. My jaw is on the ground.
What a guy
I feel like in order to be an undercover agent in that lifestyle. Back then you had to break a lot of rules, if not actually be involved in crime personally and committing crimes right alongside these people in order for them to trust you
No shit Sherlock
Hit me again and make it good.
That’s a real gangster.💯
i liked the movie
This was awesome to see, i have the movie on DVD i probably look at it different as i know it was a true story and seeing this documentary makes it even better, as you see the real guy and the story behind it. Thanks for sharing this.😎
And how far has Ghouliani fallen since his mob days. New says? Different mob.
I’ve never seen the Movie, I knew of Donny Brasco as an under cover operative but no details. Glad I didn’t , this video is excellent. The whole atmosphere of Mafia life was alive in the narration and the testimonials . Good work gentlemen and ladies if applicable.
If you make enough Laws you will always find someone to break them.Its the Rich that make the Laws and it’s the Rich that almost never get caught.
lol because on the rare times any of the rich people do get caught… They just change the law so they can get out of it…😂
For sure he got some Balls..! Respect!
I know I commented a couple weeks ago, but it is genuinely refreshing hearing from an agent before the Bureau became politically corrupt.
You mean once they actually acknowledge the existence of the mafia?
I read the book about 25 years ago-much better than the film (as usual)
Seen da movie 🤯
Wow that undercover agent has to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder with a mafia bounty of $500k on his head. Some dangerous work with some dangerous unforgiving scumbags!
Why not subtitle in Romanian or in all dialects all your posts ?! It's a shame, you have interesting and good posts ,and you could have many more subscribers and visitors !!!

Big donnie
Donnie took Sonny Black to the legendary Pappas Restaurant in Tarpon Springs. “Best damn food in the world!!” Sonny told anyone who would listen the rest of his life.
Yo era muy niño entonces, pero aún puedo recordar el ambiente enrarecido que se respiraba en las calles. Mi madre incluso dejó de llevarnos al parque a jugar, pues la tensión se podía cortar con un cuchillo. Los asesinatos aumentaron exponencialmente durante varios años. El vecindario, antaño muy cercano y familiar, empezó a tornarse peligroso. Todo el mundo sospechaba hasta de su sombra y fue ahí, cuando mis padres decidieron regresar a España... todo un acierto.
Probably not him. YT wound not mirepresent anyone EVER. The book is eexcellent.
Un gran abrazó a pistone,que coraje,valentía,se pasó 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
No one can say that Sonny Black wasn't dedicated to the life that he chose to live. He followed that path right into that final meeting that he knew, without a shadow of a doubt was going to lead to his death.
You have to respect that. Even if he was a criminal, and most certainly a murderer.
The man walked willingly to his death for what he believed in.
Ok so there was some one before lefty that was pals with Donnie.
God damn what's the intro theme
Pistone fit in really well judging from the photos 😂
I would do 6 years undercover to edit the pointlessly long intro out of this video.
I was like WTF when does this intro end.
Fuget aboud it....
All these guy's i used to see at San Genarro Festival every summer since 1984 in the Summer i was an Altar boy at St Joseph church right on Mulberry st the luchesse family members live right along mulberry st. We lived right across from Julies bakery on Canal st.
Yeah? And i was a poster boy for McDonald's

Wouldn't that also be considered entrapment? 🤔🧐
Great stuff. Joe Pistone is a braver man than I’ll ever be. His infiltration of the Bonannos was a blessing in disguise for the family. While the other 4 family bosses went on the commission trial; the Bonannos went under the radar during the mid to late 80s because they were in such disarray and the Feds were busy chasing Gotti so by the early 90s they were back better than ever
This is great, they should make a movie about it
There is a film. Johnny Depp as Donny P. and Al Pacino as Lefty R.
