We’ve all seen dozens of these shows but will watch this too! 😂
John Gotti is and was like the sun u can't look away
😂😂😂😂😂
@@thepistolguy859 Gotti is one of the biggest names but he was unqualified for position of boss.
@@josebarajas5368capo too
. What qualifications does one need?
John Gotti ended up making the same mistake Al Capone did: Being too high profile and not laying low.
Yup a fish that opens its mouth gets caught!
True story
Shabba , yea man🇮🇪😂
WELL THANK YOU JORGE!! WE WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN LOST WITHOUT YOUR EXPERT KNOWLEDGE 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
i'm blown away that someone that high up blabbed his way into a jail cell... i mean really who tf talks about their past crimes, for what just to show off lmao
I was working in nyc as a waiter the night they shot Paul and his driver. That night it was cold damp foggy outside and as soon as the shooting happened the news spread like wildfire. Everyone got back to their apartments the streets were empty I never seen nyc streets so empty till this day. It was like the president of the united state of America was killed. It was a scary time back then because everyone in nyc knew or had connections to the mob especially restaurants. I still have the original news papers from that week and the original Time magazine with Mr John on the cover.

@PrimeTonysElbows well I mean somebody had to be working there that night
“HES JUST A GUY THAT KILLED HIS BOSS TO BE A BOSS TO DIE IN JAIL” crazy
tossed salad til the end
He thought he was the " Teflon Don ". Started believing what the news media was saying about him-!!!🤗. An untouchable narcissistic state of mind.
“He was just kid he was 45” 😂
By any means necessary to the objective no matter what the consequence. Jon had to have know he would end up in prison or get whacked out.
@@mlb7583John was a street guy he didn’t care and he knew that was the case he lived the life and was one of the last few that didn’t talk unlike Sammy the rat
There's just no way to get enough of these ol mobb clips..
Trust me after year's of watching the Mob Genre you will get bored of it pretty soon
You have a problem get help
And don’t say ya all know about that the admins that are on now!!

Gotti needed to lay low as much as possible. He did the opposite. That was his downfall.

Thats how you see it. Gotti got exactly what he wanted. Gotti wanted to be remembered as the most known mob boss ever. He achieved that. He is the biggest and most talked about mob boss today.
Gotti didn't care about hiding the fact he was a gangster because he was interested in building his family name and legacy while being entirely cognizant of the reality that he signed up for a life that'd end with him doing life plus a thousand in prison. He loved being a gangster more than anything and didn't care who knew it. Frankly, even if he did the opposite and laid low, he still would've been busted the same as by the 80's and 90's; the feds were making it a mission to put all of these guys away with the advent of RICO and other factors. Even Gigante, who was extremely disciplined with his longtime mental patient act to stay out of jail, he went down by the 90's the same because he was a boss on the street and the most powerful one at that. Gotti had plenty of flaws but one has to respect the fact that he was a gangster, he didn't care who knew it, and accepted the consequences of the life he chose to live from the beginning unlike these rats like Sammy Gravano.
Facts
Best thing about this series is using actual footage. Those re-enactment / actor programs are never as good.
I agree.....very cheezy
Wasn't this one both?
@@joeshoe6184 theres a few re enactment sequences in this one but not like some of the others. you hardly even see a photo of the real guys in some of these programs
@lesterdiamond6190 I have mixed feelings.
Sometimes it works, like this one or the excellent U.S. Grant documentary the History Channel put out a few years back.
Sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't, it's pretty bad.
The actual footage was nice but it was sad that they had to keep reusing the same footage.
I’m not one for excessive music in documentaries, but the sound production and sound track is spot on, great with headphones.
I have watched every Mafia doc there is on Netflix and probably more than I can count on my fingers and toes on UA-cam. I don't think I will ever stop watching these even though a lot of them have similar footage and the stories are the same just told by different people in a different documentary style. It's a true crime addiction.
he thought he was a hollywood actor and he gave up the most important thing for the mafia. Privacy
Seen these 1000s times. It I still do enjoy 😂
Fuget about it
The question remains:
Where was Spider-Man?! 😳
With Micheal Corleone
@@alphaomega1351 Spider-Man was busy eating pizza.
Or batman
@@arielsfish he was on a date with catwoman in Sicily.
I missed the part where that's his problem
Gotti was the downfall of Cosa Nostra in the United States as a whole.
Now it's politicians doing something
@@slabbusterrtr7690….spot on. Politicians and elements of the government learned from the best….and they have unlimited resources and power. Frightening.
“One man hated Big Paulie(Paul Costellano) and he carried that hate around like a badge of honor…. His name was John Gotti”
A case of " Who gets who first-???🤔. I'm glad the (Pope) got it first-!!!🤗 Had no respect for that reprobate😈.
They will never stop making docs on Gotti
Yes they will
One day they are gonna wish there was a John Gotti . One day they are gonna miss John Gotti
Yeayea rear pence !!!
The all claim to be Catholics too 😂
Catholicism is more sinister than the Mafia so there’s that 😂
But really just Democrats
Now just called Democrats
That's the best part. Say two hail Mary's and all your sins are absolved
Yeah, and I really don’t think it’s a coincidence that many criminal organisations have member who are Catholic. Or maybe it’s better to say that it’s easier to be ‘at it’, whilst being catholic.
I was a bit of a rascal when I was younger and our firm was primarily Irish or Italian Catholic. You go out and do bits of work, then go and get sins resolved during confession.
Helps you deal with the guilt over what you’ve done in my opinion (guilt and shame that you should be feeling, but usually just ain’t).
There’s a lot more to it of course, but it’s all part of a culture (that most people born into, and raised around), that means you can go on doing all sorts and it’s not only okay within the community, but you gain kudos and respect for doing what are awful things.
I got out at a young age, and though you could say I was groomed into that by family and friends, I was also helped out of that life (getting and education, and a good straight-gowers job), by the same people who groomed me in some respects.
It’s complicated, and the people involved in it are more complex than just being psychopaths and sociopaths - many were very kind and decent in many ways, and did a lot for the community. Yeah, sure it does provide a layer of protection, but I think it’s more than that; people that have committed the some of the worst things you could think of, but also had a split in them where they did (and do) many good things and are seen - by the community they come from/live in, in a good light (easy to write off as manipulation, but people are more complex than that, and I think they hold themselves to codes or conduct, and do good things in order to balance themselves out).
I’m rambling a bit now, but I can say that I went into care work, working with the elderly and eventually working as a psychotherapist after leaving all that shit behind, and I know it’s a direction I took in order to sort of pay back society, but mainly to be able to look at myself in the mirror.
The main thing I’m still struggling with is that I don’t feel anything of much for the people I hurt (now they was all crims, all people ‘at it’s as it were, but it’s never nice to hurt someone - yet here I am not feeling anything.
It’s all connected to trauma I think- a lot of violent men I knew in the East End (of London), had histories of severe abuse and so carried that trauma around with them, and it enabled you to do awful things to people without feeling a thing, and it’s all down to that well of trauma.
Sorry for the rant…….went off in different direction then intended then, but I’d hope anyone reading this knows that it’s not worth it doing any of that shit, cos even if you get away with it (and most of the people I know done very little time inside), you still have to have all that sat on your conscience - and that’s the best case scenario.
His downfall was his big mouth. It was his big mouth that also got him beaten up in prison.
I agree but they was 34 years distance in age would the guy be able to bet him in his younger years
@@adriantowe278 doesn't matter. The point is; Gotti did stuff that the maffia don"t do like being well known to the public as the godfather.(Mafia don't exist so to speak) . The maffia godfathers don"t get beaten up(by a black dude) not outside not in prison. He was more of a punk ass!
By a moolignan of all people. Pretty shameful for a wiseguy
That frickin Moulanyon jumped a old mob boss, John Gotti would have put that scumbag underneath the pavement in his prime and young days!!! John was a frickin legitimate bad ass, beating up an old guy who used to be very tough, doesn't show shit!!! Even the blacks in prison loved John and said it was bullshit!@@
Ayo it's Jim Kallstrom, former head of the FBI's Nu Yark Office
🤣😂😆
I wonder what jim would think of the way the fbi is ran today pathetic
I like that part
Jim is the man!
That entire organization was built on blackmail. This instance, not the individual, either. Hoover's ancestors say otherwise. Again, no pun intended. Fact is Stanger than fiction.
Colin ternary is one of the best narrator's ever because of his voice and being so calm whilst talking,
If Colin is doing the talking then its well worth watching
.
God bless Colin my friend,,
I agree, I could listen to him all day, he's the greatest

Remember Uncle Walter Winchell -???🤔 one of the best narrators of his era-!!!🤗. Remember the ( 1959 ) Untouchables (TV) series. That Uncle Walter narrated-??? I view 👀 re-runs on occasion. Robert Redford guest stared long before his flourishing career took off-!!!🤗.
Peter Thomas was also a great narrator
If only we could convict banksters and other oligarchs who own corporations, media, and politicians. Sadly they are untouchables.:(
Shareholders own corporations, including millions of middle class working people.
@@jimmymcgill8412 Technically, you are correct, but the reality is something else. The working poor (middle class) is allowed to purchase a few shares of corporations but only the oligarch with 51% interest is in control rest are just contributors to his wealth.
A New York jury convicted Donald Trump of felonies. That's a start.
Well done, very interesting.
I don't care what you say, life was more interesting back in the 70s and 80s when we got to pick up a copy of the NY Daily News with details of the latest rub-out, and hopefully pages of pictures showing the corpse and crime scene. They were joyous times for 'organised crime' fans.
Not so joyous for the hard working mom n pop shops that were shaken down and terrorized by these low life thugs thru the 70s and 80s.
@@fitnesspoint2006 The Cosa Nostra didn't pick on mom n pop stores, they targeted businesses that had money to spare. I'm sure there were a few low-life thugs around who would steal from anyone, especially vulnerable people, but this wasn't part of the MO of the Mafia. It would be quite irrational to bully and bankrupt people who were struggling anyway. Far better to set up a regular payment from things like garment centres and cement businesses.
@@fitnesspoint2006 Its a moron, bet you they weren't even there for it
Just read about Mexico nothing has changed just in NYC 😂
Stfu dude. Go back there then
No wonder he couldn't see the shooters. He was wearing his sunglasses at night.
The circus outside the courthouse after the verdict. What a total joke. People acting insane over a mob boss. Ohhhh the delusion 🤦🏻♂️

Everyone was really mad af at sammy for flipping when John was bout to flip on him and make him take ALL THE HEAT. Nahhhh if I'm ya man u not finna dime me out
U believe that shit 😂
Keep believing Sammy’s bs lol you people are hilarious
That whole story doesn't even make sense. The feds had the goods on Gotti and Gotti himself didn't care about dying in jail because he understood that's the life. There was literally no way or scenario where Gotti could waltz out of the courtroom by putting the weight on Sammy lol. Again, it makes no sense. Sammy didn't want to be held accountable for his murders, including an innocent teenager, or the thousand felonies he committed on the street by getting life without parole. He also put almost 40 other guys in prison for the feds.
At least these thugs kept prices in check, n things way more affordable in NYC, all locals agree. These new thugs are waaay less empathetic.
And, more importantly, they, in their own way helped to keep NYC safe. They never set out to kill civilians, only their enemies or ‘family’ members who betrayed the ‘family’. Look how safe Vegas was when the mafia was running it! Now, Black Rock bought all of the casinos and it’s no longer safe there. I was in Vegas in October and it’s the first time I ever had my bets stolen by the pit employees at the craps tables! I raised hell, demanded the pit boss review the security video-he called security and left. While he was gone the thief gave me back my bet. About 25 minutes later the pit boss came back and handed me $200 and an apology. When the mafia ran Vegas, no employee would dare steal from guests or the casinos. If they did, and got caught, it was the last time they stole!
You mean like politicians ?? Get rich in office nothing ever said about it
Half the so called evidence that he was convicted on came from Sammy Gravano who was prepared to say or do anything to get off He would have smothered his own mother if I profited him
Back when the FBI actually fought organized crime instead of acting like organized crime.
So true
Things criminals say
The fbi is garbage without informants and snitches.
You mean (GET TRUMP )??

@@JamieLamb-ft6io I liked umbertos where it was. Say what you wanna
Wasn't even born then but id love to go as well
So he took part in that first murder and only ended up doing 2 years time?! 😮
He didn’t pull the trigger, was just at the scene . Regardless, yes 2 years manslaughter so they say
He had the best defense attorney in the country at the time and the laws weren’t as strict back then
He was convicted of being there, not pulling the trigger, and like others said, he had the best of the best legal help along with the times being much more loose when it came to sentencing guidelines. He didn't get a murder conviction.
Those where different times and he said the fbi wasn’t as advanced as it is today
Thats what happens when the right people get paid the right money
They did not discover the secret apartment on their own. An informant told them about the apartment. I've seen a hundred documentaries about this. They're giving themselves too much credit
They rarely find out anything without informers
Gravano went from being Castellano's right hand man to being Gotti's right hand man to being the feds man. The rat's rat
The scariest part of all this is neither Gotti nor the crime family scene, but how easy it is to influence people to be completely unbothered by outright crime, as long as the perpetrator is "cool". Reminds me of the case where a large number of people online wanted a murderer to be let go just because he was exceptionally good looking. What a strange species we are.
Jesus and barbass
Agree. I wonder if it has occurred to those people yet, just how much organized crime affected their lives in a negative way, down to the price of their food and clothing. And there they were, supporting it all.
Shit, people wanted to marry Ted Bundy, and even the judge said he wishes he could work with him...
The same thing is done by politicians too except none of them look cool lmao
Ya well, he was cool. And threw great neighborhood parties.
Crazy to see Anthony Quinn at the final trial, oblivious to the fact he would go on to star as Neil Dellacroce 4 years later in 'Gotti'.
No matter who you are and how big you think you are if you take part in criminality the law will eventually catch up with you and take you down.
why have the US presidents convicted,, coz they're criminals of the world
Here in South Africa our local newspaper the "Eastern Province Herald" reported on Mr. Gotti's trials. I read them.
Gotti's CLASS and MANNERISMS will never be equaled. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but then who is perfect?
This guy had so much class!! I wish he married my sister

Yes, the CIA is loading planes with drugs while the DEA spends millions trying to stop the flow of drugs. That makes sense. George Jung, Carlos Lehder, and Escobar were all working for the CIA. 🤣🤣

Scary that the government is the biggest mafia.
@@scottfay3553 Yepp. And thats why they had to be delt with.

Excellent recounting! Well done! (I once went to that steakhouse....)

GREAT GREAT NARRATOR,, ,,GREAT GUIDE THROUGH THE FILM,
"I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm simply saying , Sammy.the Bull gave me sixty grand😢
What's wrong😢
The craziest thing is, that being a Sicilian from Elmwood Park Chicago, they are not gone at all, New York as well!!! They are more low key than they used to be!!!
Listened to this story 1001 times, once Gotti took castellano out was literally the beginning of the end of the mafia gotti was completely incompetent
Famous for Clark Gable is good; famous for a gangster is bad.😊
I like this but it should have more Luciano Pavarotti music in it rather than rap music.
Of course they will put rap because regardless of hard evil,they have to subliminally suggest that POC are the real crooks
Lol! I think it's because the show is set in NY & Rap music is obviously more cool.
Literally started out as a lvl 1 street thug and graduated to the boss
The real "thug life"
Can you imagine, if big Paul didn't die when getting shot, WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED THEN, IT WOULD'VE been wild...
Hahaha never thought about that
It would of happened another day
He would've ended up doing 100 years with the rest of the bosses for the Commission Trial anyway.
When you're that organized, there is no mistake!
He was dead no matter what!!
Extremely well placed shots, 2 gunmen over 8 shots EACH, Between the chest and the head... There was no surviving that hit!!
"Don't gloat." Okay, but can we celebrate?
Everyone has to remember... big mouth or not... he lived an amazing gangsters life, no matter who and what says... cause in the end.. he still died of throat cancer and in prison.. so inside or out.. he would of still died... so in my opinion, he had the best flippin life as a gangster... I swear, I would love to be in his shoes... god bless him... no other boss will be the same, ever again.. 🙏
Whatever you want to say about John Gotti…he was too loud, too much in public, talked too much… the government wants to brag how John reacted after hearing the tapes and looking like a cornered animal but he took that time like a man. He stood up tall and accepted his fate. Sammy folded like pressed laundry.
How would you know he took It like a man were you there no one was there beside the lawyer's etc you can't say anything and I can't say anything and you wanna talk about sammy again how do you know sammy folded like pressed laundry I know for fact you weren't in the same room as them
If Gotti had to take life for the boss he would , Sammy shit it and realised he wanted a better life nothing wrong with that but Gotti was goin down wether or no he was in public eye. He was boss of Gabino his tapes where from a flat he thought he was safe , Sammy turned states and talked on the stand
Gotti turned on Sammy first. Audio evidence. So...
Idiot Sammy fans in here
He didn’t fold. He was smart enough to know that Gotti was going to have him killed. Why would you stay loyal to a boss like that?
Well done.
so does biden, i think you're on to something
How wonderful to hear a real human narrator. AI simply doesn't cut it - you need feelings.
Stand up guy, prison all them years in brutal conditions, and when he was dying, never snitched..🇮🇹 🇺🇲💥 that is the meaning of a true leader...
You do know he was going to roll on Gravano and pin it all on him so he could walk, right?
@warhawkofchogoris8555
You believe Sammy the BS Gravano with his BS stories ?
Gotti would have eliminated Sammy he wouldn’t have snitched
Sammy is just a b**ch made little man
@@warhawkofchogoris8555you beat me to it. People call Sammy a rat, but what the hell was he supposed to do?
I moved back to Boca in Fall 1992 . I was at a gas station filling up my truck when I saw a flier taped on the gas pump. It said "CASH REWARD for info leading to location of SAMMY THE "RAT Gravano" There was a phone # to call. It was chilling . I saw them again a few more times at other places in Boca Raton .
It wouldn’t be too difficult to convict someone like John Gotti - big mouth, very much out in the lime light. Carlo Gambino, exact opposite, a lot more difficult. RICO really killed the mob. John Gotti just made it easier.
Nothing killed the Mob because there still very much is a Mob. They just operate differently.
Greatest Mob Don Ever 💯
Government was mad bc they weren’t getting part of the cake so
Exactly look at these politicians now go in broke come out muti millionaires
It's almost like he wanted to be an actor he really was a mob boss but he wanted to play a mob boss he did this stereotypical Hollywood character of a mob boss
Wow... this is insane
Gotti’s biggest mistake was outbidding Tony Soprano on that Bungalow Bar truck. You know he rang that bell the whole way home.
Adverts are heavy on this one! 😂
Unreal how the government can just try the same person over and over again until they get the verdict they want..
Agreed totally!!!! The thing that pissed them off is he beat the rap twice and they wanted him so bad, the government spent almost a billion dollars totally putting John Gotti away, but also the Rico act says, you can only listen to 3 minutes of a wire tap, but fact they ran it 7 minutes at times!!!! John Gotti was a terrible mob boss but went to jail like a man and didn't rat, and said FBI stands for Forever bothering Italians!!! Yet, this country gives a thug gang banger murder a few years with good behavior, or sick ass child molesting bastard 3 years, but put John in jail for life!!!! OJ murdered his ex wife and the hat and glove DNA to prove it, and they let him off with 90 percent black jury, and didn't want another full scale Riot in LA after Rodney King!!!! Pathetic, makes me want to puke!!!
Exactly or break into your property and plant illegal bugs cause some judge says so it's ok breaking and entering into private property should've been throwed out of court
Or how they can break into private property and plant bugs cause some judge says it's ok to break in and tresspass on to private property should've been throwed out of court..I wonder is it ok to break into these politicians houses and plant bugs imagine what goes on there ???🙄
Everyone is corrupted the feds were in it too
Pichec 100% was gonna forget... is he a fool???
Those agents/cops who were investigating the mafia families were brave. Id have been worried about my love ones.
Law enforcement was off limits apparently
Mob rules dictate that cops, feds, or their families are off limits. In 1989, a mob associate killed an undercover DEA agent during a buy, and the feds put so much heat on the family the killer was associated with that they whacked him a few weeks later.
If the mob killed the family of an FBI agent, they'd be signing their death warrant.
I believe that Sammy was slowly getting fed up with Gotti's reign and incompetence leading up to the final trial. After hearing those tapes, I think that was the last straw
He was fed up with Gravano
Some people say Sammy "The Bull" Gravo brought down the Gambino Family by testifying against them, but honestly, John Gotti is the sole reason why the Gambino Family fell apart, because of his ego and because he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut.
@@dereklopez9060 I'd go with your theory...he thrived on attention
"Cutting the brake lines" is always a huge misconception like somebody is going be be going 60mph and not stop... The driver will notice it immediately while backing out of the driveway or even before starting the car (your brakes will be mushy and go to the floor) The worse thing that will happen is you'll roll into something at 5-10mph, if you dont use the E Brake or put it in Park first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
They never got Gotti on issues so they had to set up the case
More like Gotti had to set up the case with his own mouth. What a maroon.
@@MoeHamHead-bx7og he was the most esteemed boss. Wanted to bring everything legal. Strict rules on drugs. So they had to have him silenced.
Castellano was more a blue collar crime guy. Gotti conceived of it as a business.
@@dmdebruijn Uh, no, Gotti was ok with drugs. He was good friends with Ruggiero, who was caught dealing heroin. And Castellano was the one with business sense, not Gotti.
@@dmdebruijnYou have it the opposite. Castellano had no street cred and fancied himself as a businessman than a real gangster, and his own guys saw him as only being boss because of nepotism as Gambino was his cousin. Gotti was a real deal street guy who came up with nothing.
I grew up with a dude they use to call little Gotti... he was shot 18 times downtown Charleston.. he didn't survive may he rest in peace
Leader of the self snitching group of people 😂
Jefferson airplane. Is a great starter on shyc too. Thanks for the great advice
3 of the bosses gave the ok, for gotti to get castellano. which one was them?
The only family they didn't approach was the Genovese, I think. Cos of big Paul's close relationship with the Chin.
I don’t think he officially got approval from any other family; this is revisionist history. There is so much misinformation on YT. Capeci’s books never mentioned any of this, and he’s the original OG on all things mafia. This channel scraped all of these clips from other documentaries
Also, only an official commission meeting, could vote by majority to sanction a hit on a boss. At the time, the Bonnano’s had lost their commission seat bc of a slew of drug convictions
Joey scalaggi
@@rugger104 yes thats what i thought
GOTTI: a modern day Robin Hood. Stole from the Corporates and kept for himself
They got highlights of the mafia like a sports team 😂
One thing Gotti did that showed the world his bravery was to be seen publicly in that women's short sleeved light-cream summer jacket - a ladies' 'trouser suit' top (52.32) that even sported the Princess Diana shoulder pads. He looked like he was finally coming out as a transvestite. Of all his crimes, surely THAT was the worst. He is dead isn't he? I mean, it is safe to say this now, isn't it? Oh blimey, how the feck do I delete this?
Pretty good, i liked it. However, you used the term "jail", when it should be "prison". In the US, jail is where people are held before trial, and if convicted and the sentence is 365 days or less. 366 days or more, and your sent to prison. There are more differences, but that's the essential one.
John Gotti ( 🙏) The Al Capone of our Generation.
No fucking way was he anything like al capone
Good man 👍👍👍👍
Why is there never anything about Sammy the bull
Because Sammy wasn't as big as he makes out" Sammy is delusional he making up his own stories as he goes along" Sammy wasn't even allowed Im John's house his wife Vicky hated him
you mean sammy the rat
The FBI makes the mafia look like walt Disney! And the CIA.
And these politicians are no different than the mob go in broke come out muti millionaires
This M. F. RUINED EVERYTHING
So far loving it
great documentary 👏
Alllllll of the old school mobsters stayed away from hard drugs. That was even mentioned in "Goodfellas" and in "Godfather".
Gambino told his soldiers that hard drugs woukd be the downfall of the Cosanostra, and it was😢😮😮
True.
And btw... the phrase you're looking for there is "La Cosa Nostra" meaning, "This Thing of Ours" ( or "Cosa Nostra" - "Our Thing")... Just saying.. 😊.
Excellent observation!
That's a myth. Plenty of guys were into drugs and bosses were taking the money from them. Even Luciano, the guy seen as the architect of modern Italian-American organized crime in the US was a huge heroin trafficker even after being exiled to Italy. From then to now, plenty of guys up to heavyweights are into moving drugs. Carmine Galante was at a time the biggest heroin trafficker in North America in the 70's too. A million examples and the mafia in the States is still around but eschewing violence in favor of making money with drugs, scams, rackets, you name it.
Even though I watched so many movies about Gotti, this video I would say the best in terms of historical details.
Why have I never heard the story about his son being accidentally killed by the neighbor!😳
I Forgotti
Fuget about it
You could've fit a few more ads in there
Gotti got his azz kicked in prison.
Hell he was a lot older then
There was a reason the mob bosses if the past did everything they could to stay under the radar. You remain invisible - you don't draw attention from law enforcement.
While Gotti definitely made a spectacle of himself, he was just asking for a huge fall that was inevitable.
Gotti's ego destroyed him.
I'll save everyone 53 minutes. John was untouchable until his underboss ratted on him.
The End
Absolute lies .
You see the problem was Gotti himself .
Carlo Gambino never put him in charge because he knew he would have been a liability and he was proven correct .
A secret society was transferred into a media frenzy due to one man - GOTTI .
Killing Paulie the Godfather and his underboss was without doubt the most despicable event in the history of Cosa Nostra .
The empire built with the greats like Gambino , Lansky , Luciano et al was brought down by an absolute blabbering joke like Gotti .
His non stop chat ruined everything ❤
Im in Saint Johns like every week my pops is in there. The other day we were looking in lucky lucianos grave he has one of those little houses his whole family is in there.
My wife and I actually ate dinner in that restaurant a couple of years ago
He threw the best parties in ozone park and gave us free hot dogs and burgers. Miss him dearly
No
That’s it hot dogs and burgers?
You were moved by that?
@@johnolpenda9803 i think he really likes hotdogs, know what I'm saying ?
Bro seriously what is wrong with you
Those mother flicker's of mafias are truly a challenge in every day life. They're like blood suckers, instead of hard working beings...
Great documentary
