I went to law school in Delaware right outside of Philly and the best class I took was organized crime. The prof was the assistant US attorney who prosecuted all of the big Philly mob cases in late 80s and 90s. It was amazing. Personally, I never did any of the reading because you didn’t need to. It was just show up for an hour of mob story time. Like firsthand stuff you’re never gonna see or hear. So great
I had a class similar where the teacher set up a crime scene in the classroom. We had to figure out what happened in what order and write a report 😂. It was one of the best classes I've ever had.
That sounds amazing until you realize you prolly paid 1000s of dollars from that class and could have had the same thing if you watch the history channel. College post to be for learning not fun

I'm from Philly and I think the city was safer with the mob. the city was divided and everyone respected each others turf... mostly.

Also after Hurricane Katrina there was an influx of southern criminals who moved to the city and tried to carve out territory which caused more violence .

I knew a few “guys” back in the day that were deeply involved in the life. It was clear that they operated in a general sense in a fashion as to NEVER attract any attention to themselves in ANY public situation. If they went out to eat a some high end restaurant, that bill was paid along with an extremely gracious tip. Always making very gracious contributions to local charitable organizations, but never over the top unless it was an obvious connection to them personally for very obvious reasons (like when a relative got cancer and there was a local fundraiser for the family of that relative, etc.). This was to basically firm up local allegiance from even those outside of the criminal activities. It definitely worked. None of those guys ever had any legal hassles to deal with of any significance.
yeah...they were deeply involved in that life and never drew any attention to themselves....except when they were telling you, some guy they knew, about their involvement in that life.... about their legal affairs....about how they acted in public so as to not draw any attention to their crimes....yep, just a few "guys" you "knew" back in the day, living and dying by the code. the omerta. right. you and every other one quarter italian kid in the tri-state area
I’m a fan of this old 90’s tv documentary production style. This video is about the Stanfa era Philly Mob as told through the FBI’s point of view. Good video, but inferior to the Merlino Mob video available on UA-cam.
Scarfo was not the one that went after the Docile Don, Angelo Bruno. It was Stanfa a replacement driver that particular night that set him up. It was Antonio Caponigro who ordered the killing of the docile Don, so he could take over being the boss of the Philly mob. It was Philip "The Chicken Man" Testa who eventually took over as boss after Bruno's murder.
Scarfo could have got job after Bruno and he let Tests have it out of respect for his long time friend and Testa was next in line by time and tank more or less.
After Bruno and Testa as bosses were hit I think he started thinking maybe it will be me next and took it to the extreme to protect himself. That's why he moved his nephew up so fast to under boss more insulation for him and eyes-ears.
The safest times in Philadelphia was when Frank Rizzo was mayor of Philadelphia Frank Rizzo didn't take no s*** from nobody the man went to a wedding with a nightstick in his cummerbund
I was attending business school in Philly during the time but never heard of these events. Talk about being in an ivory tower. I loved the city but who knew what went on in its different parts!
Did you ever go to the nightclubs in the city when you were in school? Specifically like Deco nightclub? They were all there. I knew a lot of these people. They also had a very private after after hours night club called libations on Broad Street. They played get jiggy with it on a loop.
@@creatingyourlifeconsciously 🙃I wish I had but I was a new immigrant struggling to keep my head above water at a tough school and seldom ventured out into the city, even though I admired the old city buildings very much. I had a love and hate relationship with Philly. It was trial by fire for me.

Had 2 uncles who were “bookies” in the 40s ,50s and 60s. Unfortunately or fortunately for them we’re protected by a few local cops and politicians. They knew ahead of time when a state police raid was going down.
I remember I was in a market when the feds ran a raid. Nothing illegal was found. We never ratted on our book makers. When a number HIT it was paid in one lump sum.

Sometimes He gets lost when he stand up, dont know where he is, but when you look injury, he is peachy 😂
1985, I worked at 7UP distributors in Elkton,MD. The manager tells me " go out back and sort bottles,the big boss is comin' down from Philly,stay outta sight". So I'm out behind the building tossing bottles in barrels,with a joint in my mouth, when this helicopter lands 15 feet away. No warning. 3 guys get out and it's obvious 1 is a mafia boss,dressed to the nines, and the other 2 bodyguards. Boss comes over and asks my name. Then asks if I'm Italian. Yeah half, Moms name was Sellare. He pats me on the shoulder and says " Good kid" and they go inside. When they leave the managers are all pale and acting weird. Everyone was laid off, management was moving to Philly. Wonder if the made it.
You can only join the American La Cosa Nostra if your father is Italian/Sicilian and you carry his last name. Ask Henry Hill......he's dead now but his mom was Sicilian and father was Irish so he could never be made.
@@PInk77W1 LOL I doubt that and would not want to know if it was. All i can say is I have never felt like such a little fish in a big ocean. Philly mob was crazy around then
Interesting/informative/entertaining. A wonderfully orchestrated adventure about the " GANG" who couldn't shoot strait😱!!! Excellent still-motion photography pictures 📷/reenactments. Enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Information put forth by the (F.B.I.) Made this documentary more authentic and possible. Separating facts from fiction. A wonderful episode pertaining to the " GANG" who couldn't shoot strait 😱!!! Stanfa was a disillusioned fool attempting to negotiate with Marino & the young Turks. Not the "Sharpest knife"🔪 in the draw😳
Chin played the Bruno hit to perfection. Acted like he didn't approve, but really did. Bruno wouldn't let NYC families have part of AC. Once Chin backed Scarfo after Bruno was killed, guess who then got a part of AC? The Genovese family.
@@josefigueroa1043 Did I also have to be at Sparks steakhouse or in the Ravenite social club to know John Gotti had Paul Castellano killed? I do a lot of mob research, and do know someone who is close with current Philly guys, who also say the same thing regarding the Bruno hit. It's really not a big secret if you actually know any mob history (you obviously don't) to know the politics of the Bruno hit. Would you like to offer another suggestion of what happened or is all you got "Oh yeah cause uwere there?" Because you really blew me away with that one line.
Again, Merlino was not aligned with Scarfo, that’s a huge mistake. They aligned with an imprisoned Bruno associate Ralph Natale, who wasn’t made. He had status bit wasn’t made. Eventually he flipped and now he’s a joke
The mob brings in an expert to detect bugs in the office. The so-called expert finds nothing. Imagine if the mob knew there was a bug -- that 'expert' would have a little bit of a problem when he presented his bill.
Well, if you borrow a grand from a payday loan place, they will harrass you until they get their money plus interest. What makes these guys any different? A thousand dollars is a thousand dollars.
Actually $120/week for 10 weeks for a defaulted $1000 loan is a pretty damn good deal - especially for a mob loan shark. I’d feel bad setting him up for it!!
27:43 I think Stanfa making two of the Turks made members was a bad idea because of their openly aggressive behavior with the public (i.e., insisting that restaurants let them eat for free, pushing people around in clubs / bars, etc.) and because they killed one of his associates. A third reason would be loyalty they aren't loyal to him. He was probably better off either leaving or going to war with them.
It all plays into the difference in mentalities, willingness to get dirty. What he didn't realize was there was no controlling them, getting them in line with a weak line of action.
These FBI agents are amusing. They act like it's an enormous revelation when they take ten months of surveillance to learn something that everyone who lives in the neighborhood already knows.
@@tasha6151 No, you're just completely confused. Gathering information is not necessarily the same as evidence collection for trial. I know you're trying MIGHTY hard to make it seem like you know what you're talking about, but you don't.
Street gossip doesn’t do sh*t in courthouse. Surveillance is also gathering information that can be used in court. Street gossip and hearsay doesn’t hold up in court.
@@chuckschillingvideos No, YOU are confused. How do you know that "everyone who lives in the neighborhood" knows the hierarchy of their local crime family? You just assumed that with nothing to back it up. Everything the FBI does for the investigation has to be backed up by evidence. They can't operate based on what someone's grandmother tells them she heard at the potluck church dinner. And you can't go up to the people that you suspect are in the organization and ask them to please tell you who everyone is and what role they play. They tend not to cooperate, no matter how nicely you ask them.
Yeah I'm not down with people going to the feds over gambling debts they voluntarily took. No one made you make the bet and when you're winning you're more than happy to take your winnings. Don't make bets you can't cover. It's totally different than some dude going up to John the suit store owner or Frank the pizza shop owner and saying pay us or we trash your place

Organized crime is parasitic. You completely ignore the harm the mob has done to innocent people through extortion and murder.
These stories are told and glossed over much nicer than the current gang wars.
I bet…
I knew a few “guys” back in the day that were deeply involved in the life. It was clear that they operated in a general sense in a fashion as to NEVER attract any attention to themselves in ANY public situation. If they went out to eat a some high end restaurant, that bill was paid along with an extremely gracious tip. Always making very gracious contributions to local charitable organizations, but never over the top unless it was an obvious connection to them personally for very obvious reasons (like when a relative got cancer and there was a local fundraiser for the family of that relative, etc.). This was to basically firm up local allegiance from even those outside of the criminal activities. It definitely worked. None of those guys ever had any legal hassles to deal with of any significance.
yeah...they were deeply involved in that life and never drew any attention to themselves....except when they were telling you, some guy they knew, about their involvement in that life.... about their legal affairs....about how they acted in public so as to not draw any attention to their crimes....yep, just a few "guys" you "knew" back in the day, living and dying by the code. the omerta. right. you and every other one quarter italian kid in the tri-state area

Scarfo was not the one that went after the Docile Don, Angelo Bruno. It was Stanfa a replacement driver that particular night that set him up. It was Antonio Caponigro who ordered the killing of the docile Don, so he could take over being the boss of the Philly mob. It was Philip "The Chicken Man" Testa who eventually took over as boss after Bruno's murder.
Caponigro was a Genovese proxy,he just didn't realise it.
@@richardcoats6430 correct and he was whacked for it
@@southlondon5732 from the Genoveses point of view it was 2 birds one stone🇬🇧
Absolutely scarfo got the position BECAUSE he had nothing to do w it
Scarfo could have got job after Bruno and he let Tests have it out of respect for his long time friend and Testa was next in line by time and tank more or less.
I always wondered what happened to that private contractor who never found the bugs that the mob paid him to find...
Most likely nothing.
The guy that swept mr.ruggerios place?
@@joeshmo2577yeah, and you know shit ain’t happen to him. Tho,I wonder why he couldn’t detect the bug or what not

Only Scarfo knew why he was so paranoid of his own guys. This is well done, bravo.
Maybe because look what happen to all the other bosses before em. I be paranoid as fuck too
Because Mr Scarfo was street smart any one to rise to his level from the nothing he came from was pretty smart
After Bruno and Testa as bosses were hit I think he started thinking maybe it will be me next and took it to the extreme to protect himself. That's why he moved his nephew up so fast to under boss more insulation for him and eyes-ears.
@@jenineayres173 Scarfo was an idiot. He never rose. He was left after the others were killed. That's why the mob went down.

Philadelphia would go on to be one of the safest cities in America. Thanks to the fact that they got rid of 50 criminals.
Lol

Safest city ever.
Philly is a drug infested,crime infested s**thole now. Great job... just like Libya, just like Bagdad.
The safest times in Philadelphia was when Frank Rizzo was mayor of Philadelphia Frank Rizzo didn't take no s*** from nobody the man went to a wedding with a nightstick in his cummerbund
I was attending business school in Philly during the time but never heard of these events. Talk about being in an ivory tower. I loved the city but who knew what went on in its different parts!
Did you ever go to the nightclubs in the city when you were in school? Specifically like Deco nightclub? They were all there. I knew a lot of these people. They also had a very private after after hours night club called libations on Broad Street. They played get jiggy with it on a loop.
@@creatingyourlifeconsciously 🙃I wish I had but I was a new immigrant struggling to keep my head above water at a tough school and seldom ventured out into the city, even though I admired the old city buildings very much. I had a love and hate relationship with Philly. It was trial by fire for me.
I lived in Miami in the 90’s. You would be amazed to find out the things that go on inside warehouses and houses.
Scarfo wasn’t behind Angelo Bruno Murder! Nor Phil Testa!
Dont throw the charge on joey
Correct -it was anges underboss Antonio caponigro
Scarfo was with Bruno even after Bruno started doing sideways shit towards Scarfo!

Well can you blame em!? Since crater prices on the moon have gone up through the roof we all had to move to Mars just to make ends meet!
I was paying 2000 Lunar dollars just for a 10x10 transducer crater on the moon....here on Mars ive got a nice 40x40 nebulian crater with a galactic interchanger for only 1100 Lunar dollars.
3 shoots in the head? And still alive? Fucking Robocop. Respect
Unbelievable. Either that or never use a .22 for a hit.
I know i guy who was shot with 7.62 from Yugoslav m70 (like Kalashnikov) and he goes to bathroom to wash up, comes back, continue to drink his coffee and after medic's camr he pass out... Then in hospital they said to him he has meningitis, so basicly less then 1 % chance to survive but he is still alive, thank God. Sometimes He gets lost when he stand up, dont know where he is, but when you look injury, he is peachy 😂
He had a mafioso gaurdian angel.
Then they killed his brother.
Only .22 , marginal at some angles.
Narrator: “the cake, in fact, never made it home to his wife.”

That’s hilarious. He snips a wire in the alarm system when he could simply loosen a screw to disconnect it 😂
I clocked that . Not only does he snip the wire he does it in the middle of the wire Impossible to reconnect the same length .😅😅
These shows have enlightened me a lot
don’t get any ideas.
1985, I worked at 7UP distributors in Elkton,MD. The manager tells me " go out back and sort bottles,the big boss is comin' down from Philly,stay outta sight". So I'm out behind the building tossing bottles in barrels,with a joint in my mouth, when this helicopter lands 15 feet away. No warning. 3 guys get out and it's obvious 1 is a mafia boss,dressed to the nines, and the other 2 bodyguards. Boss comes over and asks my name. Then asks if I'm Italian. Yeah half, Moms name was Sellare. He pats me on the shoulder and says " Good kid" and they go inside. When they leave the managers are all pale and acting weird. Everyone was laid off, management was moving to Philly. Wonder if the made it.
You can only join the American La Cosa Nostra if your father is Italian/Sicilian and you carry his last name. Ask Henry Hill......he's dead now but his mom was Sicilian and father was Irish so he could never be made.

Chin played the Bruno hit to perfection. Acted like he didn't approve, but really did. Bruno wouldn't let NYC families have part of AC. Once Chin backed Scarfo after Bruno was killed, guess who then got a part of AC? The Genovese family.
Oh yeah cause uwere there
@@josefigueroa1043 Did I also have to be at Sparks steakhouse or in the Ravenite social club to know John Gotti had Paul Castellano killed? I do a lot of mob research, and do know someone who is close with current Philly guys, who also say the same thing regarding the Bruno hit. It's really not a big secret if you actually know any mob history (you obviously don't) to know the politics of the Bruno hit. Would you like to offer another suggestion of what happened or is all you got "Oh yeah cause uwere there?" Because you really blew me away with that one line.
@@josefigueroa1043 He's right. This is all documented.

Nicky Scarfo had nothing to do with the Bruno hit. Phil Testa took over after Bruno and after he was murdered then Scarfo was Boss.
yea this vid is bullshit they wrong bout everything

Again, Merlino was not aligned with Scarfo, that’s a huge mistake. They aligned with an imprisoned Bruno associate Ralph Natale, who wasn’t made. He had status bit wasn’t made. Eventually he flipped and now he’s a joke
Natale is dead. Just recently passed.
@@davewarpig609 no way did he really? Oh I liked him. He was a sweetie pie.

Agreed
"I used to be a hitman just like you, until I took three .22 slugs to the head and lived." - John Visi, probably
Let me guess, someone stole your canoli .
The mob brings in an expert to detect bugs in the office. The so-called expert finds nothing.
Imagine if the mob knew there was a bug -- that 'expert' would have a little bit of a problem when he presented his bill.
I'm more concerned about the fact they were able to get a warrant to bug both the conference room and the lawyers private office
Why wouldn't they get a warrant to place the bugs when they have probable cause for it?
Plot twist, the expert was from another mafia fam and found the bugs, but didnt say anything
I read somewhere that the Feds just turned their Bugs off when the Mob Experts done their Room Sweeps that's hilarious if True?

Well, if you borrow a grand from a payday loan place, they will harrass you until they get their money plus interest. What makes these guys any different? A thousand dollars is a thousand dollars.
I know, right? $1000? LMAO. This has to be a comedy.
Apparently around $2,000 nowadays, but I bet more like $3,000-$4,000 in 1990
forgot the site, but you can go by year and see the change; literally lol. starting from like 1900 it's kinda shocking as well as rather saddening.
Actually $120/week for 10 weeks for a defaulted $1000 loan is a pretty damn good deal - especially for a mob loan shark.
I’d feel bad setting him up for it!!
120 payments was pretty damn generous. Not glorifying the mob, but credit card companies will destroy your life just as quickly.

lol stanfa the mob boss being yank from
His house is funny as hell
27:43 I think Stanfa making two of the Turks made members was a bad idea because of their openly aggressive behavior with the public (i.e., insisting that restaurants let them eat for free, pushing people around in clubs / bars, etc.) and because they killed one of his associates. A third reason would be loyalty they aren't loyal to him. He was probably better off either leaving or going to war with them.
So just get in b4 they get you ...
exactly. They didn’t respect him. They seemed immature and irresponsible with the “power” they thought they had.
I understood the move. It just didn’t work out
It all plays into the difference in mentalities, willingness to get dirty.
What he didn't realize was there was no controlling them, getting them in line with a weak line of action.
Being in the FBI would be one hell of a way to get up in the morning to go to work taking on the mafia
Now their focus is oppressing the very people that fund their operations.

You're so wrong.
It takes all that time to gather enough evidence to make it stick in a courtroom.
Neighborhood gossip is only so good
@@tasha6151 No, you're just completely confused. Gathering information is not necessarily the same as evidence collection for trial. I know you're trying MIGHTY hard to make it seem like you know what you're talking about, but you don't.
Street gossip doesn’t do sh*t in courthouse. Surveillance is also gathering information that can be used in court. Street gossip and hearsay doesn’t hold up in court.
@@chuckschillingvideos No, YOU are confused. How do you know that "everyone who lives in the neighborhood" knows the hierarchy of their local crime family? You just assumed that with nothing to back it up. Everything the FBI does for the investigation has to be backed up by evidence. They can't operate based on what someone's grandmother tells them she heard at the potluck church dinner. And you can't go up to the people that you suspect are in the organization and ask them to please tell you who everyone is and what role they play. They tend not to cooperate, no matter how nicely you ask them.
The guy who got shot three times and lived is my hero. The guy who went to the FBI over a grand could learn a thing or two from that guy.
Yeah I'm not down with people going to the feds over gambling debts they voluntarily took. No one made you make the bet and when you're winning you're more than happy to take your winnings. Don't make bets you can't cover. It's totally different than some dude going up to John the suit store owner or Frank the pizza shop owner and saying pay us or we trash your place

To conclude: take out the head of the rival faction first and avoid the entire war
that guy borrowing a 1000 bucks paying back 120 for ten weeks was the same deal you would get in sweden nowadays from banks. if you cant pay the banks wont break your knees like the mobs but they will mark you for the rest of life so that you cant borrow money or even rent a house for at least five years , and every new debt renews the 5 year probational period, vicious cycle which ruins lives.
Seems like your knees can heal in months while the banks mark u permanently reduce credit score and ability to get loans a house car or anything
