Well yes, many crimes such as robbery (taxation) and murder (capital punishment) is legal when the government does it. Many cults that end up challenging the governments gets disbanded quickly. The government has a monopoly over violence and they won't let any Joe Blows take t hat away.
Im in my late 50s Im very intrigued by these documentris .mainly because i like the old cars ,streets ,the way they dress it brings back memories of my father.
For me it's the investigative techniques they used before video camera's, cell phone triangulation etc that interest me. That and the hosts great voice and narrating.
It doesn’t matter What your name is yeah don’t worry I’ll trust some random on the internet and not the documentary I watched with the FBI team who ran the case.
The bug checker was arrested by the FBI and he told them that his bug equipment can't even locate a cockroaches and he was paid top dollar for nothing. LMFAO
That guy had balls..😂 imagine connin big paul that badly and someone in his crew realize this dude is cappin with his equipment. Im certainly sure paul put hit on that guy i mean sammy the bull told in one of his vid paul killed his daughters boyfriend cause he said paul looks like chicken in front of his family wtf😀
He legally operated his business, the feds wouldn’t even charge him with anything, they arrested only to scare him into stopping ! Only if he destroyed bugs, it’s “tamper w/evidence” otherwise finding them is very legal !
Fantastic resource! Whether you're a history enthusiast or just curious about the past, this channel offers a wealth of knowledge in an accessible format.
It's actually easier to use history as the basis of your plot, even if you change names and events. Otherwise you can have protagonists and antagonists doing nothing as you don't know how they should talk, walk and even act/react.
Unfortunately, all documentaries like these are gone now, in their place we are given “Reality” and conspiracy shows. Pretty much sums up how fcked up society is today. The only people still doing something close to documentaries are the little guys on UA-cam.
How the Feds managed to plant a bug inside the Ravenite without getting detected seems miraculous. That place has got to be observed 24/7 by Gambino eyes in the neighborhood.
I like to envision them sounding like exactly Paulie from sopranos and then giggling just like when he used to laugh at his own jokes.. maybe even throw in a "cunt" for good measure
There NEVER was loyalty & trust in the mafia! Very dumb wiseguys who were killed by or spent yrs in prison due to people in there crime family they stupidly thought they could trust!!
Organized crime is cleaner , safer , more intelligent than the gang situation nowadays. The US government thought the would clean the streets by eliminating the wolves. All that did was make room for the rats 🐀 to take over.
@@drewwillis3380 What you talkin bout Willis? hahahaha. Just a little humor. You name reminds me of a show called Diff'rent Strokes. I will find this doc and give you the name. Not today because I am illin.
@@robertb9902 I can't remember. It was years ago. I'm sure you can find out on the internet how he was treated just put in search words John Gotti Life in prison. I saw one recently that was about the guy that beat him up.
Yeah because he was paying the white supremacists to mind his dumb ass ..mafia is meant to be a secret society.but gotti loved the limelight and fkd it all up ..Sammy the bull shuda been made boss after the casstellano/bilotti hit at sparks
To think that Gotti was annoyed at Quack Quack for blabbing and it was ultimately his own words and actions that brought about his demise is astounding. You don't hand a beatdown to the U.S government as that is an unwinnable battle. Gotti was lucky to have been incarcerated because he probably would go the same way as Castellano went as some point, possibly by Gravano's hands.
When Gotti was found guilty, his father was mad. He said, "For the first time in my life, I'm ashamed to be an American!" I felt the same way. For the first time in my life I was ashamed that he was an American!
the interesting part about Gotti was, that though he appeared to be a celebrity he never gave any of the journalists following him an interview. The opposite to Joe Colombo.
Also he started to model himself on the way Scorsese film gangsters spoke and acted . What a tool ! On the plus side : he's looked up to by retarded teenage boys who see him as " glamorous " and a " Man of Honor '' !!
As he was going around learning what scams and rackets the family were into as the new boss. The FBI was learning everything they are into aswell because he is under so much surveillance. It seems like a perfect storm of mistakes, new laws, rats and technology that did for Gotti.
Well what he was actually convicted of was Attempted Manslaughter NOT murder! Doesn't matter what he did what matters is what hes convicted of! And that whole "white" comment why don't you go look up Nicky Barnes or Frank Lucas's sentences they got! Lol Or better yet as someone already pointed out OJ Simpson! In case anyone is still delusional about race privileges in this country I'll help u out, the only color that has ever mattered and will only ever matter is GREEN!! U got money the rules dont apply to you like they do us!!
@Snaggle Toothed As someone else had pointed out Carlo Gambino hired Roy Cohen for Gottis lawyer and he was basically 'infamous' for lack of a better word for getting mob guys amazing deals with the DA. And of course this was before they started to actually use the RICO laws. And Gotti wasn't the trigger man Ralph Galione was. At the end of the day it's human beings that are the ones "enforcing" these laws and sentences so back in the 70's when Cosa Nostra was still in its glory day times it's not that hard to believe this situation! It more than likely was happening on a weekly basis back than. It's just we all know who Gotti is and have looked into his life se we're aware of his particular case.
@Snaggle Toothed lmao I just went back up to the comments to see who mentioned Roy Cohen and that was YOU!! Lol Yea bro u know the answer man. Even today it still rings true if u have an amazing attorney they can work certain wonders!
34:11 it always blows my mind 🤯 how they gloss over the fact that the FBI accomplished this several times. HOW? You’d think the Ravenite would have security on staff overnight or anytime it was unoccupied. That’s crazy. So the FBI just walks in with keys? How were they copied? At the Ravenite there were no alarms on when they’d leave at night? Almost all businesses have alarm systems. Cafes, restaurants, pizzerias. It’s bizarre.
It clearly just wasn’t like that. It always cracks me up when they said “the mob guys house is surrounded by armed soldiers watching the front and back 24/7.” It just wasn’t like that. They try to make what they did seem more miraculous then what I really was. It’s really simple to catch people when you can break the law. How hard is it to break into someone’s house and put a bug in it you think there’s always going to be somebody home 7 days a week 24 hours a day? It’s pretty simple
You would think there be someone in the lounge at all times no matter what.They never thought the fbi would do that.For how smart they are at doing crimes and murder they sure snoozed at that.Gotti never goes to jail if that dont happen.I think he wouldve gotten killed the chin wanted gotti real bad and he was going to do what ever.That car bomb was for gotti but he decided not to go in that car.The chin said he was good for decicco dying.Chin wasnt good he wanted gotti
@Aaron Dukes umm. Gotti wasnt a sniper or some kind of good shot lol. He fought on the streets all the time coming up lol. You just dont know shit do you?
@isjw skksks It still should look similar to the real person. They should have used a larger actor to play castellano. If they are going to use actors on a show, they shouldn't look like the complete opposite of the real person. the actor was skinny without glasses, and Paul was fat with glasses. You are the one who seems like the dumbass, if you can't comprehend why an actor in a documentary series should look atleast close to the real person.
All the cards fell into place for Gotti to take over , if Roy Demeo and Nino Gagi were alive when Paul got hit , Gotti would of had way more problems afterwards ..... Facts
Yes. Anthony Casso went on a rampage onsessed with finding Gotti after Gotti arranged a hit on him, after Casso and Amuruso accepted a hit from their boss to kill Gotti for killing Castellano without permission.
@@Sou1defiler yeah well in my opinion they were fucked regardless of what Gotti did. They already wanted Gaspipe and they also had a War within their own family a few years after the Castellano hit so they were going down anyway.
i thought of that Trump press conference where he was going off about mexican drug cartels but then started bragging about his dad being in the mafia i don’t care about politics we’re all idiots i just thought it as funny
What an amazing story. I feel astonished and speechless with every detail. I’ve been searching more and more the mob history and the more I search the more amazed I become
Yes, did you see the movie Snowden? It opened my eyes to much government spying. For example, I did not know that you can be watched thorough your home computer even when you shut it down if you dont cover the hole at the top. Wow! I wonder what those spooks saw me doing and with whom?? Ha ha.
@@WindDancer435 I've worked in IT for about 25-years and I feel confident saying that if your PC/laptop is completely powered-off then it is NOT possible for the camera to be accessed. However.. If it is in "sleep mode" or "hibernate" then it could be possible to send a "wake-up on LAN" command from a remote source and then they could hijack your camera. Smartphones work in a similar way.. but I *have* heard rumors that gps, voice, and camera can still be accessed even when the phone is "powered-off". I'm not familiar enough with Android or iPhone O/S to say if this is true or not. If you want to be extra safe from prying eyes, just remove the battery from your phone and put masking tape over your webcam. :)
@@treborironwolfe978 If you believe your computer cannot be hacked when powered off, then you have obviously NOT seen the movie "Snowden". The only way to not be spied upon is to disconnect the power cord. I see Snowden could teach even someone like you a thing or two. I certainly learned a lot.
Avoid taps and buffing... have your private discussions on empty New York subway trains, underground and away from the surveillance cameras of law enforcement... I used to eat at Sparks Steak House when I lived in Midtown on East 44th Street at 3rd Avenue. Sparks is at East 46th Street at Third Avenue.
This is 100% true... Believe it or not I worked as security overnight at the Marion Il holiday inn and his family would stay there to visit him at Marion Fed prison They were 100% a class act.... very generous tips and very genuine Thank you for that
@@Mghol1968 Do you believe that the Gotti family ever earned any money at all the old fashion way? By working honestly for it? If you do, then why was Gotti convicted of what he was convicted of?
@@Mghol1968 Maybe I am wrong, but what I am saying is that the money that they tipped you with was money that came from the John Gotti rackets. They were generous in tipping you because the cash was ill gotten.
all the people sammy killed knew what they were getting into, , they were made men or associates willingly , they knew the rules and concequences , also if they had been in the position to be asked to do a hit they would have done it no questions asked and some of them had so don't feel to sorry for them
I wanted this man to live in prison until he was 105 years old or more. When he looked like he was going to die I wish they had spent the money and time to revive him in an effort for him to SUFFER his days out. You didn't have to be in the mafia to know that he killed his next door neighbor for running into Gotti's rotten son darting in and out of the street on his bike. It was told that that kid was recklessly riding his bike that day up and down that street.
@@hellohandsome9875yep. Evil rationalizing evil. And even when they kill their own, they're still taking away someone's son, father, husband, etc.. And their lesser crimes cause rot and pain to society at large.
These FBI file videos are gripping and amazing. This kind of mafia vontrols lot of businesses in southern Italy. One of the four best pizza restaurants in Naples is run by Gino Sorbillo who served in the military and now retired and started the pizza restaurant. He helps the local businesses from taken over by mafias. The FBI and these mafias are like playing chess games. Thank you for sharing.
That's nothing to be proud of. The most moral thing a mobster can do is rat on his other mobster associates. Gets those robbing murderers off the street.
@ What a grossly false and over-exaggerated take there, my friend lol. A legitimate threat on someone's life on social media is taken seriously at the highest level and usually followed with immediate police action, let alone a simple ban.
“Doesn’t believe in family, doesn’t believe in church” lmao Buddy, those are two of the mafias biggest keys, family and church😂😭. Funny how the FBI sees them as criminals. Not so much fun having competition is it Uncle Sam?
So we have them to thank for NYC being so darn expensive.! Totally ridiculous. To the point where everyone is leaving the city. Too bad because I love New York city, but know is un liveable.
You can thank the democrat politicians for taxing the city & for their liberal policies for ruining the city! Look all across America & you'll see the effects of democrat politics.
Governments and the mafia work together. The mafia back then had a family persona and people loved them because they were afraid of them. Reagan was in office in the 80s while all this crime was going on. The. Mafia still exists and are equally if not more evil. Let's be realistic.
Haha see how long that would last u cant live that life like that u would be a laughing stock they wouldn't allow it unless u were a boss and only very rarely in certain meetings
Benjamin Mortimer sure you can. That’s how the Vinny the Chin stayed so relevant. He didn’t discuss anything over a phone, he had front bosses. If you want to stay out of prison you do things the smart way. That’s why if you were in the mafia you’d be a lowly soldier in and out of prison and I’d be a boss 🤷🏽
@@kingrama27 the chin didn't right 'everything' down then burn the paper like u said he insulated himself so what ever he said would have to get relaid 2 or 3 times that's totally different to what u said. Also if u were a boss u could write things down at some meetings but u said if u were a mafia member u would write everything down then burn it. So u would either get whacked or laughed out of town my friend. Also chin had to act crazy for half of his life and died in jail anyway so that didn't really work out for him did it.
Benjamin Mortimer dude you’re a fucking idiot. You don’t understand anything I’ve said. Obviously if I was a soldier you don’t write shit down. I’m talking if I was a boss or capo. I would t get “laughed” out of town or whacked. You’re a fucking idiot and that’s why you’d be a lowly soldier in and out of jail, you’re not smart.
@@kingrama27 u said if u were a mafia member u would NEVER talk business out loud and u didn't say boss. Its ridiculous that u would even say that it's not the movies pal u havnt got time to 'never talk business out loud.' Writing shit down and burning it Haha u cant get away from that comment my friend. If u were a boss and u were on the run hiding out then written messages would be fine but u clearly dont know how that life works Hollywood. ''So Joey what about this construction thing we got downtown?'' ''I dont know what ur talkin about?'' Out come the pen and paper🤣🤣🤣 do u know how disrespectful that would be to whoever u were speaking to. It wouldn't work just concede defeat on this one and get back to ur daydreams Haha good luck to u no hard feelings.
It’s amazing that we can live in a time that’s still somewhat connected to the mafia era having those connected to the cases, pursuits, former members, and every day people who watched the trials and followed it all. Being born in 1990, mafia and organized crime just seems like history. A time long long ago. But watching documentaries of actual interviews of former members and agents who worked the cases brings me to the 1970s more. It’s actually pretty cool. Many of these people won’t be around forever and generations after me will be even least connected. We have adults today who weren’t even alive during 9/11. As to the detectives and FBI agents, what a time and what hardcore work they did to bring the organization down. I know it’s still alive today to a degree but it’s clearly not anything the level it once was. Today is just a new era. We’ve got surveillance cameras everywhere and advanced technological equipment, as well as DNA technology that’s well developed - all these things these mafia agents didn’t have. It was good ole fashion police work and intense dedication and desire to rid American society of these high level criminals. Mad respect for them and what they accomplished. But as we all know about the mafia - the biggest recipe that allowed them to rise to power then was SECRECY. They are extremely DL about their activities and they persevered their organizations/activities for decades, and really, nearly all of last century. We do know they still exist today even if their membership and power isn’t what it once was - I don’t think we’re truly able to be aware of how prevalent they might be today. Again, Their secrecy and ability to stay ahead of law-enforcement and the rest of society is their key component, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they’re more involved then we think. Whatever the case, what a fascinating era of history. Brutally violent, intense, troublesome at times… but an amazing theme of 20th century America.
Born in 57 in Queens, and growing up in bullshead, I saw Sammy, quack quack, gotti, big Paul, Neal (the tall guy) delicroce all the time as a teenager. I was very crazy about the mob and read anything I could get my hands on about their history.all these guys were very easy to talk to. I have pictures of myself and Neal, me and Sammy none of me and gotti. They all told me to stay in school. I would make50 bucks cutting Neal's grass he saw me by some smack from a corner dope boy. Neal ripped me a new one. Neal said he was gonna kill the pusher. then he said if I want help he would pay for it. I went in for treatment and Neal came every day for 28 days. He treated me better then his own kids. I loved him like a second father, I'm alive today
It's paranoia with a small "p", meaning excessive but appropriate worry. Paranoia with a capital "P", meaning worry/anxiety with no basis in fact, even when proof of nothing threatening is shown over and over.
Paranoia means feeling like people are plotting against you even though there’s no proof , so he was actually being paranoid because he was guessing about the bugs , it stops being paranoia the moment you see proof
Yep. Sammy's stories make these professionally produced docudramas appear shallow and sterile. Sammy's gritty just the facts stories are compelling. When my notification bell alerts me my hope is it is a new Sammy story. Maybe you thought the same thing when you saw my reply alert. Happy new year bro.
The gov will sail you up the river, just to get what they want. Certain people you just don’t snitch on, it can be deadly consequences. Let the gov put they’re people inside n take all the risk!

Not related to the documentary but , What I don’t understand is that , when you get called for a sit down and you know the odds are against you that your most likely gonna get whacked. Then what is stopping you from taking yourself and your family to a different country ? Why look over your shoulder when you can get a clean slate ? Are they really gonna find you in dubai, London, Frankfurt? As a mafia enthusiast from the Uk , I’ve always wondered but I guess I’m not a New Yorker to understand the full scope
Another factor to consider: All the old school OG wiseguys lived by a Code of Honor in the beginning and for a very long time in this kind of lifestyle...for decades before this time period. One Rule of such a Code meant- that once the deed was done and over, you *NEVER* spoke aloud of it *ever* again...to *anyone* . Which is exactly *WHY* the old school OGs and Shot Callers were untouchable and never got pinned with any serious charges. And which was also the very reason that even so much as considering something like running out and trying to scurry away like vermin would never even occur to a guy like that. Because it would be "dishonorable", "unmanly to do" and "bring shame" to what was left of their entire family. Not to mention the fact- That with the wide range of worldwide contacts that the mafia had/has... that anyone that ran off *WOULD* eventually be tracked down and found.. no matter where they managed to skip off to in the world. If they even got lucky enough to get out of the city area alive to begin with. Which would mean any punishment or retaliation against them would then become SO much worse.... for both them *AND* their wives/kids. The vast majority of ppl nowadays live in a VERY sheltered af insulated little bubble...... having always been wrapped up in their own self-centered selfish af shit and helicoptered over for their entire lives with someone *else* always there to provide their every need/want *FOR* them... and without ever having a single day in their puny lives of any actual *REAL* life & death "struggle", much less have ever really missed any meals long enough to ever know TRUE hunger. FFS-most ppl nowadays have never even been taught basic flippin coping skills or any critical thinking skills enough to even think and rationalize for themselves... without needing to have someone else do that *FOR* them, too.. and literally *TELL* them what they should be thinking about everything going on the world around them, instead of them actually first putting in *any* effort whatsoever to find out and learn things *themselves* in order to be able to logically figure out what they should be thinking *FOR* *themselves* . (No Bullshit- It has now become so much a monkey-see monkey-do world... where alllllllllll the little braindead lemmings just keep following and repeating each other without even so much as a single moment of thought having actually been put in to it beforehand before ppl just start regurgitating whatever total horseshit some other idiotic fool pulled outta their own ass and completely just made up as "facts"!). Therefore- Most ppl nowadays have absolutely *NO* concept or idea of what that actually really means anymore... for someone to actually *have* *INTEGRITY* , *HONOR* and *LOYALTY* .... and to literally live their entire life by that Code, like the majority of people *use to do* in the past. Back not so very long ago when if a person gave their Word or promise about something or made an Oath.... they actually *KEPT* it or were shunned and shamed by the rest of "polite society" as being DISHONORABLE/THEIVING AF for *NOT* doing so. Or to live a lifestyle that meant knowing that any major fuckup that *you* made... could also mean certain death for your closest loved ones, too! Including the newer generation of up and coming wiseguys that were later born in to that lifestyle.... and were the sole cause of bringing it all down later on, like had never happened before in their history of organized crime. BECAUSE they were born in to it.... they were much more lazy, spoiled, flashy narcissistic egomaniacs and complacent... thinking they were untouchable and could do literally anything they wanted to just bc of what their last name was or who they were related/close to that kept them protected... long before they even really worked their way up the ranks or *EARNED* that status of being/acting like that of being an "untouchable made-man". (Meaning that *nobody* could ever harm or kill them without the express permission of the head Don of the entire organization OK'ing that hit. If someone ever *did* harm them without going through the proper procedure of the hierarchy and "showing respect" to ask..and GET.. permission first- then an immediate hit was put out against *THAT* person, instead.. and their entire immediate family members, too. Car bombs were a favorite preferred method, or a staged break in/robbery/mugging gone wrong..or just a simple machine gun slaughter at a family gathering. Depending on the viciousness of whom, exactly, the perpetrator had pissed off at the Head of the Family. Which is exactly what kept that fear of reprisals and Law & Order of the Organization in place for *everyone* in every major Family crew for many decades. Until ppl like John Gotti and all the other mouthy idiotic spoiled af sons and nephews just like him that surrounded him came along... and just couldn't keep their massive narcissistic af egos and mouthy af bragging and flashiness under check. Which inevitably lead to them bringing the entire thing down around their own ears.... *THEMSELVES* !

Gotti and his crew were pulling in like 50 million dollars a year. I would have been happy with 5 million and would have quit. Open a deli and fly straight. These guys just don't know when to quit.
Castellano disbanding the crew without taking out Gotti first was a terrible move. He’s your most powerful Captain and you just kneecapped him figuratively. Except he’s still alive and capable of moving on you.

It's actually easier to use history as the basis of your plot, even if you change names and events. Otherwise you can have protagonists and antagonists doing nothing as you don't know how they should talk, walk and even act/react.

How the Feds managed to plant a bug inside the Ravenite without getting detected seems miraculous. That place has got to be observed 24/7 by Gambino eyes in the neighborhood.
Cause they backdoored gotti 😂
That guy who faked being a person who can sweep for bugs must has the biggest set of stones to do that to the mob

Definitely was a fed
it was his job.
Was it so hard to find an actor who looked at least a bit like John Gotti?

It seems to me that there is no such thing as real loyalty in the mafia.
@Rob Cook goodfellas Is great example of loyalty doesn't matter when comes to money and drugs
@Rob Cook not with Jnr Soprano 🤣🤣
@GTR LK I don't know if they control those places but I do know they are still around and still not to be messed with.
It's rare to find loyalty.
Even in the real world.
There NEVER was loyalty & trust in the mafia! Very dumb wiseguys who were killed by or spent yrs in prison due to people in there crime family they stupidly thought they could trust!!
Couldn't they find _anyone_ who looked even a tiny little bit like the actual Paul Castelano? That guy looked like my high school Music teacher.

Organized crime is cleaner , safer , more intelligent than the gang situation nowadays. The US government thought the would clean the streets by eliminating the wolves. All that did was make room for the rats 🐀 to take over.
I saw a documentary about how Gotti was living in prison. He had preferential treatment. He was living much better than his fellow prisoners.
Never true

@@robertb9902 I can't remember. It was years ago. I'm sure you can find out on the internet how he was treated just put in search words John Gotti Life in prison. I saw one recently that was about the guy that beat him up.
Yeah because he was paying the white supremacists to mind his dumb ass ..mafia is meant to be a secret society.but gotti loved the limelight and fkd it all up ..Sammy the bull shuda been made boss after the casstellano/bilotti hit at sparks
To think that Gotti was annoyed at Quack Quack for blabbing and it was ultimately his own words and actions that brought about his demise is astounding. You don't hand a beatdown to the U.S government as that is an unwinnable battle. Gotti was lucky to have been incarcerated because he probably would go the same way as Castellano went as some point, possibly by Gravano's hands.
What the fuck you know about it

Gravano would definitely knock him off bc he thought got to was to get him first
When Gotti was found guilty, his father was mad. He said, "For the first time in my life, I'm ashamed to be an American!" I felt the same way. For the first time in my life I was ashamed that he was an American!
Imagine that!! The guy he paid to sweep his house for bugs was using equipment that didnt even work... What balls on this guy!!
Trust me if the FBI knew then Angelo found out and they eventually killed him the FBI tell everything or they saved him
Imagine that paying a guy to sweep for bug... but the equipment didn’t work
😂😂🤷
Makes me think of Bill Murray in ghostbusters walking around Dana's apartment pretending his equipment works conning her.
Wonder why the fbi arrested the guy for sweeping his house
“Yeah...I need someone to come sweep my house, please.”
"Bug sweepers r us, how can we help"!? 🤣
Let me bring my Flux capaciter to sweep it. I'll do it for 10k lol
Show up with a broom. The mob has a great sense of humor
Sammy the bull podcast sends me to sleep coz I’ve always got it on ! Best podcast going 🤟🏼
the interesting part about Gotti was, that though he appeared to be a celebrity he never gave any of the journalists following him an interview. The opposite to Joe Colombo.
does it matter.... it didnt help him anyways...
Also he started to model himself on the way Scorsese film gangsters spoke and acted .
What a tool ! On the plus side :
he's looked up to by retarded teenage boys who see him as
" glamorous " and a " Man of
Honor '' !!
@@2msvalkyrie529 sounds like you really admired the man.
He didn't have to his open and blatant bullshit was enough
As he was going around learning what scams and rackets the family were into as the new boss. The FBI was learning everything they are into aswell because he is under so much surveillance. It seems like a perfect storm of mistakes, new laws, rats and technology that did for Gotti.
Did I hear it right? a murderer was paroled after 2 years!?
thats about white
Yes I was shocked by that sentence as well.
Well what he was actually convicted of was Attempted Manslaughter NOT murder! Doesn't matter what he did what matters is what hes convicted of! And that whole "white" comment why don't you go look up Nicky Barnes or Frank Lucas's sentences they got! Lol Or better yet as someone already pointed out OJ Simpson! In case anyone is still delusional about race privileges in this country I'll help u out, the only color that has ever mattered and will only ever matter is GREEN!! U got money the rules dont apply to you like they do us!!
@Snaggle Toothed As someone else had pointed out Carlo Gambino hired Roy Cohen for Gottis lawyer and he was basically 'infamous' for lack of a better word for getting mob guys amazing deals with the DA. And of course this was before they started to actually use the RICO laws. And Gotti wasn't the trigger man Ralph Galione was. At the end of the day it's human beings that are the ones "enforcing" these laws and sentences so back in the 70's when Cosa Nostra was still in its glory day times it's not that hard to believe this situation! It more than likely was happening on a weekly basis back than. It's just we all know who Gotti is and have looked into his life se we're aware of his particular case.
@Snaggle Toothed lmao I just went back up to the comments to see who mentioned Roy Cohen and that was YOU!! Lol Yea bro u know the answer man. Even today it still rings true if u have an amazing attorney they can work certain wonders!
34:11 it always blows my mind 🤯 how they gloss over the fact that the FBI accomplished this several times. HOW? You’d think the Ravenite would have security on staff overnight or anytime it was unoccupied. That’s crazy. So the FBI just walks in with keys? How were they copied? At the Ravenite there were no alarms on when they’d leave at night? Almost all businesses have alarm systems. Cafes, restaurants, pizzerias. It’s bizarre.
It clearly just wasn’t like that. It always cracks me up when they said “the mob guys house is surrounded by armed soldiers watching the front and back 24/7.” It just wasn’t like that. They try to make what they did seem more miraculous then what I really was. It’s really simple to catch people when you can break the law. How hard is it to break into someone’s house and put a bug in it you think there’s always going to be somebody home 7 days a week 24 hours a day? It’s pretty simple
You would think there be someone in the lounge at all times no matter what.They never thought the fbi would do that.For how smart they are at doing crimes and murder they sure snoozed at that.Gotti never goes to jail if that dont happen.I think he wouldve gotten killed the chin wanted gotti real bad and he was going to do what ever.That car bomb was for gotti but he decided not to go in that car.The chin said he was good for decicco dying.Chin wasnt good he wanted gotti

Its weird but none of the movies about him showed him in glasses. strange
at least find actors that look close to real guys,look at angelo r.wfjoke
@isjw skksks It still should look similar to the real person. They should have used a larger actor to play castellano. If they are going to use actors on a show, they shouldn't look like the complete opposite of the real person. the actor was skinny without glasses, and Paul was fat with glasses.

Governments and the mafia work together. The mafia back then had a family persona and people loved them because they were afraid of them. Reagan was in office in the 80s while all this crime was going on. The. Mafia still exists and are equally if not more evil. Let's be realistic.
If I was a mafia member I’d never talk business out loud. Everything would be written and then burned after the wise guy read it.

It’s amazing that we can live in a time that’s still somewhat connected to the mafia era having those connected to the cases, pursuits, former members, and every day people who watched the trials and followed it all.
Being born in 1990, mafia and organized crime just seems like history. A time long long ago. But watching documentaries of actual interviews of former members and agents who worked the cases brings me to the 1970s more. It’s actually pretty cool. Many of these people won’t be around forever and generations after me will be even least connected. We have adults today who weren’t even alive during 9/11.
As to the detectives and FBI agents, what a time and what hardcore work they did to bring the organization down. I know it’s still alive today to a degree but it’s clearly not anything the level it once was.
Today is just a new era. We’ve got surveillance cameras everywhere and advanced technological equipment, as well as DNA technology that’s well developed - all these things these mafia agents didn’t have. It was good ole fashion police work and intense dedication and desire to rid American society of these high level criminals. Mad respect for them and what they accomplished.
But as we all know about the mafia - the biggest recipe that allowed them to rise to power then was SECRECY. They are extremely DL about their activities and they persevered their organizations/activities for decades, and really, nearly all of last century. We do know they still exist today even if their membership and power isn’t what it once was - I don’t think we’re truly able to be aware of how prevalent they might be today. Again, Their secrecy and ability to stay ahead of law-enforcement and the rest of society is their key component, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they’re more involved then we think.
Whatever the case, what a fascinating era of history. Brutally violent, intense, troublesome at times… but an amazing theme of 20th century America.

Thank you FBI for breaking down this mafia family.
@Bobby Care uh buddy that was the cia and the cia also worked with the mafia on that.
@Bobby Care nobody places crates of guns in our communities
FBI: "The future looks bright for New York City."
*Watching in 2023*
Yeah, about that
If I were a person of interest..
I would tripwire my front door with a single nanocarbon thread..
So that when someone breached my home..
It would trigger air horns, a burst of glitter, and drop down a giant sparkly banner reading "SURPRISE!!"
Absolutely! Brilliant!👏
That's hysterical! I would love to see that on video :)
😂😂😂😂😂You are a genius, be my friend
@@rollinstoned9816 @Gentix amora Lubi I borrowed the concept from two great YouBubers.. one who designed trap detourants for stray cats that kept pissing on his cars and trying to eat his birds, and the other was a former Googly employee who designed glitter & stink trapbait packages for porch theft bandits.

Not related to the documentary but , What I don’t understand is that , when you get called for a sit down and you know the odds are against you that your most likely gonna get whacked. Then what is stopping you from taking yourself and your family to a different country ? Why look over your shoulder when you can get a clean slate ? Are they really gonna find you in dubai, London, Frankfurt? As a mafia enthusiast from the Uk , I’ve always wondered but I guess I’m not a New Yorker to understand the full scope
Another factor to consider:
All the old school OG wiseguys lived by a Code of Honor in the beginning and for a very long time in this kind of lifestyle...for decades before this time period.
One Rule of such a Code meant-
that once the deed was done and over, you *NEVER* spoke aloud of it *ever* again...to *anyone* .
Which is exactly *WHY* the old school OGs and Shot Callers were untouchable and never got pinned with any serious charges.
And which was also the very reason that even so much as considering something like running out and trying to scurry away like vermin would never even occur to a guy like that.
Because it would be "dishonorable", "unmanly to do" and "bring shame" to what was left of their entire family.
Not to mention the fact-
That with the wide range of worldwide contacts that the mafia had/has...
that anyone that ran off *WOULD* eventually be tracked down and found..
no matter where they managed to skip off to in the world.
If they even got lucky enough to get out of the city area alive to begin with.
Which would mean any punishment or retaliation against them would then become SO much worse....
for both them *AND* their wives/kids.
The vast majority of ppl nowadays live in a VERY sheltered af insulated little bubble......
having always been wrapped up in their own self-centered selfish af shit and helicoptered over for their entire lives with someone *else* always there to provide their every need/want *FOR* them...
and without ever having a single day in their puny lives of any actual *REAL* life & death "struggle",
much less have ever really missed any meals long enough to ever know TRUE hunger.
FFS-most ppl nowadays have never even been taught basic flippin coping skills or any critical thinking skills enough to even think and rationalize for themselves...
without needing to have someone else do that *FOR* them, too..
and literally *TELL* them what they should be thinking about everything going on the world around them, instead of them actually first putting in *any* effort whatsoever to find out and learn things *themselves* in order to be able to logically figure out what they should be thinking *FOR* *themselves* .
(No Bullshit- It has now become so much a monkey-see monkey-do world...
where alllllllllll the little braindead lemmings just keep following and repeating each other without even so much as a single moment of thought having actually been put in to it beforehand before ppl just start regurgitating whatever total horseshit some other idiotic fool pulled outta their own ass and completely just made up as "facts"!).
Therefore-
Most ppl nowadays have absolutely *NO* concept or idea of what that actually really means anymore...
for someone to actually *have* *INTEGRITY* , *HONOR* and *LOYALTY* ....
and to literally live their entire life by that Code, like the majority of people *use to do* in the past.
Back not so very long ago when if a person gave their Word or promise about something or made an Oath....
they actually *KEPT* it or were shunned and shamed by the rest of "polite society" as being DISHONORABLE/THEIVING AF
for *NOT* doing so.
Or to live a lifestyle that meant knowing that any major fuckup that *you* made...
could also mean certain death for your closest loved ones, too!
Including the newer generation of up and coming wiseguys that were later born in to that lifestyle....
and were the sole cause of bringing it all down later on,
like had never happened before in their history of organized crime.
BECAUSE they were born in to it....
they were much more lazy, spoiled, flashy narcissistic egomaniacs
and complacent...
thinking they were untouchable and could do literally anything they wanted to just bc of what their last name was or who they were related/close to that kept them protected...
long before they even really worked their way up the ranks or *EARNED* that status of being/acting like that
of being an "untouchable made-man".
(Meaning that *nobody* could ever harm or kill them without the express permission of the head Don of the entire organization OK'ing that hit.
If someone ever *did* harm them without going through the proper procedure of the hierarchy and "showing respect" to ask..and GET.. permission first-
then an immediate hit was put out against *THAT* person, instead..
and their entire immediate family members, too.
Car bombs were a favorite preferred method, or a staged break in/robbery/mugging gone wrong..or just a simple machine gun slaughter at a family gathering.
Depending on the viciousness of whom, exactly, the perpetrator had pissed off at the Head of the Family.
Which is exactly what kept that fear of reprisals and Law & Order of the Organization in place for *everyone* in every major Family crew
for many decades.
Until ppl like John Gotti and all the other mouthy idiotic spoiled af sons and nephews just like him
that surrounded him came along...
and just couldn't keep their massive narcissistic af egos and mouthy af bragging and flashiness under check.
Which inevitably lead to them bringing the entire thing down around their own ears.... *THEMSELVES* !
My grandpa's directly related to the angotti family through my moms side. Its sort of a badge of honor despite john's big mouth tainting the legacy. The Paulmenn family. He owned an auto body shop near newark and we heard some stories growing up but my pop pop never disclosed any of his old stories to anyone haha! he's still alive and kicking at 80 years old praise God, A true italian gentleman built like a bag of cement till this day
I'm from brooklyn nyc born and raised ,living elsewhere now I visited nyc earlier this year and the 4th July wkend 2024,my brother drive past sparks steakhouse in Manhattan and said hey look over to your right it was dark evening he said that's where Paul cotellano was killed in 1985 I was like whoa ,lol that steak house still exists
Leave it to the media to make a criminal a hero
Gotti and his crew were pulling in like 50 million dollars a year. I would have been happy with 5 million and would have quit. Open a deli and fly straight. These guys just don't know when to quit.
Born into the life and they love being gangsters.
You don't get to quit.
Castellano disbanding the crew without taking out Gotti first was a terrible move. He’s your most powerful Captain and you just kneecapped him figuratively. Except he’s still alive and capable of moving on you.
you see how careful and organized the FBI is when trying to get information...they should train cops...
Dddddddddddqr
Whole different mission there boobie....
Politicians dont want to spend the money,,,,its cheaper to just pay out the lawsuits
@@righteouslydefiant5362 Try deflecting and hiding behind professional immunity first.
John Gotti is the symbol of a family boss fuck up...he was no Gambino that's for sure!
