It's funny how they never mention the fact that Gigante had successfully for years convinced the FBI that Tony Salerno was the boss of the family when in fact Gigante was always in charge and used Fat Tony as a front boss. They even mention the commission trials yet claim that Gigante escaped prosecution because he checked himself into a mental hospital, however the real reason he escaped prosecution was because as far as the FBI was concerned they had the boss of the Genovese family under indictment in Tony Salerno, exactly how Gigante wanted it. He played the FBI for years, and it's quite hilarious how this documentary loves to say how genius they were and how much they were on his tail, but totally leave out the Tony Salerno front boss facts, despite even showing Salerno outside the courts when they mention the commission trials. The fact is that they weren't onto Gigante for years. The feds long had Salerno as the top boss in the country and he was their top prize, it wasn't until years later they realised how wrong they were and then went after Gigante successfully.... eventually.
@@nymphkutta2627 That's a very good point, although ... as far as I remember the Feds were (FOR YEARS) in possession of a tape, where Salerno freely admits "Im gonna clear it with the BOSS!" so they at least must have had doubts! :) ...or - rather! - SHOULD HAVE! :D

Money can buy your freedom, it’s so crazy.. my dad, before he passed, was arrested and facing 25+ years (not murder) and after spending tens of thousands, he only got 8 months 🫢 Insanity!
You may ask yourself.. How can I become a mafia leader, stay safe, and avoid suspicion of authorities? Simple.. Start feeding pigeons at your local park in your pajamas.
"The defendant's cognitive abilities and communication skills are equivalent to other sixty-nine year old defendants with limited education." Gigante totally got owned and BURNED by the judge!
@chaps I wonder more if he legitimately had a mild form of multiple personality disorder. In other words.. when he was out there on the park bench in his pajamas, it was *not* an act ;) Maybe it was a bad hypnosis therapy session that went wrong and he forever flipped his persona on queue of certain words, sounds, or people he saw.
Limited education but got away with running a multi million dollar illegal organization for 50 years. He beat the whole system of “educated” people. They had a million men for one man. And he outsmarted them numerous times.

Yeah, but shit didn't work for long. That ploy got attempted too much when defendants saw it work a few times at first. But immediately following those first few but successful times where it got them that "not competent to stand trial" status they sought, the criteria to qualify got quickly revised to more simple and sensible criteria. Mainly 1. if they're aware of why they're on trial, 2. awareness of the proceedings, and 3. if they're aware of what they're accused of can carry heavy consequences. Makes perfect sense to. I work intake at my city's County Psychiatric Hospital, usually intake. 97% are all brought in from the various law enforcement agencies and even the central jail and the very few that aren't deemed 5150 status are cleared and the cops take them to jail. No matter how insane someone is or what diagnosis they have, it's extremely rare that I've come across a patient or subject unable to meet the above criteria. Many people when witnessing someone having a full blown episode (e.g. shouting nonsense in public about invisible forces trying to attack them) will then see that person immediately stop it on command, then assume that person isn't as crazy as they're acting. But nope, I see all the time the worst cases (what we call "the real deal") effortlessly summon their normalcy at will in seconds flat. But 99.9% all know why they are/will be in court.
if by "standing up to" you mean he worked for the Genoveses - then you would be correct. Back then nobody bucked the Italians. Nobody. That shit is made up for the movies.
"Men of honor" is the most oxymoronic statement anyone can make about a wiseguy. The only honor amongst the scumbags is their loyalty to the guy in the mirror when they shave.
If they honored themselves they never would have joined that life. Hollywood glamorizes Cosa Nostra but it is all bad. You have murders,thefts, extortion,loan sharking etc. It is an ugly life.
its funny how chin was a stickler for the rules not to be broken, yet him and casso put a bomb under a car to blow up gotti and kill franky instead, sammy said his whole hand went inside his stomach, his legs were totally gone, and swore at frankies funeral he would kill everyone with prior knowledge, sammy and chin almost polar opposites, both great strategic double crossers, apply their techniques to chess and business!
He had to much power and take him out without permission from the mob cormission (Highly unlikely, because he was the most powerful mob boss), is a death sentence.
@@055blackman I know but I think they should have taken him out anyway, it’s not like it hasn’t been done before is it. He’s was embarrassment for the whole of the five families., and like I’ve said before he didn’t even wander from his borough ffs, not like acardo he enjoyed his wealth . I reckon if the chin was in Chicago Acardo wouldn’t of put up with that sorts of shit but yeah your right he was a very powerful family boss who only killed someone when they broke the rules of LCN. I’ve always believe that his brother the priest was also a powerful fish in the borgeta also if one brother is capable of portraying he’s mad the can portray himself as a man of the church also he had a little pop at Gotti about John making him something that thr said he wouldn’t do lateral it all comes out that his son is a captain in the borgeta. I think so anyway.
@@RosvStudios I know exactly what you are saying but I honestly don’t think a man who walks up and down the street looking a fucking vegetable is a good mob boss I’m sure he was cause history as told us he was a good boss but if he had been in Chicago he would’ve been took out mate but he wasn’t also he should’ve listened to Bennie Mangano his underboss, and the others who were all trying to tell the Chin that Servino was cooperating with the FBI, he certainly let his guard down around Servino that’s for sure and that wasn’t like the Chin but saying that the Feds had Gravano, D’arco and Leonetti without Servinos testimony en it so with or without Servino the Chin was fucked.
Don Carlo I think spent one day in jail in his whole career. No one not even Chin was close to as powerful as him. Chin was powerful, but Gambino was Boss of all Bosses during his time. That mans intelligence led to the mobs ties into every fabric of human society. He is the one that showed them you have to have legal forms of income which became the unions. Last time every powerful mob boss in the country came to pay respect at his funeral. His story is truly amazing.
I remember serving Mr Gigante lunch in the feds the day of 9/11. He was so distraught. Never seen him like that cuz i served him lunch often & sat down with him sometimes. I remember him saying "youngster, thats my neighborhood.." good man tho. R.i.p Gigante..
Now as soon as the handcuffs come out the "wise guy" starts snitching as fast as he can. Back in the day the mob guys may have kept their mouths shut but today it's snitch snitch snitch.
@@naysaynetwork5271 yes but MOST of them back in the day only snitched on ya if you snitched on them for something. Most of them knew better than to mouth off and get caught they knew they were dead men if caught.
The great Carlo G. and Chin was and still ar the Greatest of them all. It's my opinion about this documentary and subject regardless the fact that I am a low obided and peaceful simple man!
This Man shared his wealth with his Captains and soldiers that is why many of his soldiers were loyal. He had a lot of money but made sure both his families were taken care of
2:14 that is indeed a legend for the origin of the term "mafia". But if you just look up "origin of the term mafia" and on Wikipedia et cetera, my mind was just blown tonight when I found out that Sicily was actually once an Islamic Emirate (long before the French conflict) and that the term is actually widely thought to have been derived from Arabic.
@19:58 -- thats the best part of the fbi files intro that i was waiting to see which episode it came from (im watching thee in sequence) . the wise guy who was next to the guy who shot the gun--the way he flinched -- that was just funny to me. :)
Problem being is when I was a kid you never let anyone know your thoughts problem being is you have rats because you let too many people know what you think and command too many people
I can’t be the only one that kind of wanted Gigante to get off or get only a few years. I guess because the actor did such a damn good job stumbling around acting crazy as hell!! 😂
Gigante was the very last Capo de Tutti Capi. Much people thinks Gotti was the most powerful but I think at least Gigante have the same level of power to Gotti. Gigante was the opposite to Gotti: low key
He was one of the main men who hated gotti for what he did to a boss that family was rock solid am not sure but I think they were the richest and more controlled and less talking
Gotti single handedly did more damage to organized crime in NYC that any other figure. His loud mouth and Hollywood lifestyle spelled doom for dozens of mafia figures.
I used to have a boss (well, the head of the company) named Mr. Lucasi. He was the most handsome Italian man I've ever seen and so nice. His first name escapes me. And there's a ton of Bruno's around where I live.
@For Shiz yo I agree I'm fascinated by the history of the mob. The genervose family, the bonnano family mainly bit I've been studying the story as a whole from the beginning of the lcn to present.
That's Cosa Nostra,the bosses orders,like em or not have to be followed.If the boss says "you need to admit to murder and do 20years", You never did this murder but if the boss gives the order you do it or he has every right to kill you.This is an extreme version, but it is possible.Salerno knows this, doesn't mean he likes it just that's the way it could be.
GOTTEM.. something they didn't mention the reason he admitted he was faking was because 9/11 happened and he was recorded on the prison phone calling home to check on his family members
What's even funnier is you misheard what he said. He said nice fluffy "Brooks Brothers" type bathrobe, Not Blues Brothers lol. 26:53. I think you're starting to have cognitive issues like The Chin 😂
why do they stopped producing this documentary even the seasons have few episodes i like this documentary it is kinda nostalgic for me back in late 1990s when i was little kid and had no idea who were the FBI i thought they were good guys voluntarily help police personnel
Finally I know where the two men holding a shotgun in the intro is from..
Yeah finally
Dude! .... I was wondering the same thing!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it this episode
Lol
Just need to know where the guy flying out the windows from 😐
Gigante was the boss of bosses very smart the opposite of gotti he was the last of the ones who didn't want no one to think he was involved with the mafia
And he worked directly under Genovese
Supposedly in his trial Costello claimed he’d never seen this man and didn’t know who he was. After Gigante’s acquittal, he walked up to him as they were exiting the courtroom and said “Thanks Frank!” 😂

this came out in 1998. I wonder if they ever considered people would be watching this 25 years later on a tiny screen while they’re in the bathroom.
that notion was probably viewed as something that Gigante would be talking to himself in the streets about, as he wandered around in his bathrobe

Gotti single handedly did more damage to organized crime in NYC that any other figure. His loud mouth and Hollywood lifestyle spelled doom for dozens of mafia figures.
I used to have a boss (well, the head of the company) named Mr. Lucasi. He was the most handsome Italian man I've ever seen and so nice. His first name escapes me. And there's a ton of Bruno's around where I live.
LOL GOOD ACTING GODFATHER
I wonder what salerno thought of him. People hate on gotti for trying to get sammy to take the L. That's what the chin made salerno do
@For Shiz yo thanks for the Intel bro i didn't know that. Makes sense though the more I study this lcn sub culture the more I don't like the CHIN
@For Shiz yo I agree I'm fascinated by the history of the mob. The genervose family, the bonnano family mainly bit I've been studying the story as a whole from the beginning of the lcn to present.
That's Cosa Nostra,the bosses orders,like em or not have to be followed.If the boss says "you need to admit to murder and do 20years", You never did this murder but if the boss gives the order you do it or he has every right to kill you.This is an extreme version, but it is possible.Salerno knows this, doesn't mean he likes it just that's the way it could be.
Sammy was known as the underboss to the authorities. Salerno was a defacto boss which only became known after he was jailed.
@For Shiz yo 🙌🏾
GOTTEM.. something they didn't mention the reason he admitted he was faking was because 9/11 happened and he was recorded on the prison phone calling home to check on his family members
Smart guy... pretending to be crazy in order to hide his true self...
"A nice fluffy Blues Brothers bathrobe" ahaha. That's one was funny.
What's even funnier is you misheard what he said. He said nice fluffy "Brooks Brothers" type bathrobe, Not Blues Brothers lol. 26:53. I think you're starting to have cognitive issues like The Chin 😂
Brooks brothers
The guy who plays him on godfather of Harlem is good

I believe he really was crazy. It just turned on an off at times
Last guy standing.
The word you're trying to look for is "eccentric" Don't as FBI keep miss-pronouncing it. Over to you.
