I just got out in January from Riverhead Jail in Suffolk County. They got him in the ob-seg unit. It's basically like PC for people who can't go to regular PC. He's in a whole section by himself surrounded by COs and everytime he leaves they got him surrounded by the SERT team. Nobody's getting to him until he goes up north
Gotta tell ya pal. I’m from the lower east side. Born in 68. Grew up around a lot of these older fellas you talk about in here. Not with them (full disclosure ). Just grew up together and around them. This is one of actually the only channel I’ve come across that is interesting and informative. You ability to just keep running off all this info fluidly takes talent. I’m impressed. I don’t subscribe to anything as I’m a grown man. 54. But I subscribed to this. Hope it helps keep it coming. I enjoy listening to these reports. Brings back a lot of memories and it’s a great way to pass the time traveling , just relaxing etc. my wife complains because she doesn’t like any return to the old days at all if you collar but it’s cool. 😁thanks for your hard work there pal. Bona Fortuna
I know Cali was considered legitimate by todays standards but no real mobster would get suckered out of their house like that. They would've seen it a mile off, as its 101 stuff. Just another example of the mob becoming too domesticated and comfortable.
Jeff I don’t comment a lot on ur videos but this what the best video you’ve done in my opinion. Your continued attention to detail is unmatched and u truly provide things I’ve never heard. I lived for years in Staten Island and was always unsure of this story. Thanks for doing it and at such a high level
I liked your style very much. Very respectful to everyone you talked about,with no axe to grind with anyone. Very informative,happy to subscribe and hunt prior content from archives. Be well Mark
… unmentionable legends in these detailed,historic, insightful vignettes of the underworld- always tuning in on these narratives because the stories are economical, humbly presented.
If this was the 70’s…dude wouldn’t had made it out the driveway of Cali’s home… How there wasn’t a bodyguard there at Cali’s residence at the time is beyond me
I dunno man it's just not like that anymore I think the last 15 years there's been 20 Mafia related murders.....there wasn't any tension or war going on.
Great video , your flow is impressive, attention to detail and reflection of history is great, hmmmm I would put the pics in the background of mobsters though 🤷🏻♂️
Kid I gotta give you lots of credit..this show has to be one of the most accurate ones out there...there are wise guys that don't get it right...lol..keep up the good work
I'm lovin ALL the content Jeff‼️I've listened 🎶 🎧 to 70% of The Sit-down Podcasts on UA-cam & Spotify i know I've said 🗣 it before but imma 🗣 it again ya wackin' dese videos that are full of super SUPER rich content on 🇮🇹 LCN MUCH RESPECT amigo nostra 🤌🤝💯
Very impressed by the quality of your videos. I only made a comment like this before & it was 1090 Jake. I think you have a great chance of becoming a UA-cam star if you keep up the quality videos Remember, once your fanbase can count on you for a quality video they will watch everything you put out and share/recommend their friends & family to also watch. And that my friend is the blueprint to success
I’m quite sure that the Gambino’s could’ve paid the screws for someone to have gotten to him, I’ve often wondered why someone didn’t get to him, someone got to Epstein mate so if the Gambino’s really wanted him I’m sure they could’ve somehow.
Hey brother I subscribe to you you tell a good story straight forward to the point and you explain the details great channel I'm glad I found you keep up the good work bro
Ahhh, what would a comment section be without all the "Mr Well Actuallys" who were there and personally knew the situation better than the guy making the video. Thank you for your service Mr Well Actually, we couldn't figure it out without yall👏👏👏
Ummm the people commenting have access to the same information that the video creator does. We all read the same books and watched the same documentaries.
Great video, I'm from the UK, you should do a video on Jackie "nose" D'amico. He was in the mob for decades, I don't understand why Jackie nose didn't give up the life years ago. Thanks
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Yeah, they ran with all that garbage, including the power struggle angle, within 24hrs. I believe they also said Cali was a native of Italy. Great job, Jeff. 👍🏻
Maybe he is so far gone he isn't with the effort and the arrangements to deal with him in the prison hospital system. On the streets or in the penitentiary population could be a different story?
Cali was an acting boss!!! How the hell did he get killed in somewhat early evening!! That was a big hit and I’m surprised that the Gambino captains didn’t hunt that kid down!!!!
I’m surprised that got never got done in jail, like you said in earlier times he probably wouldn’t have even made it to his trial ? Even in the late eighties/ early nineties I’d have said that guy would have been either found in a part of the prison or found with his death made to look like suicide, that is the power the Mob had in days of old.
Mob wants him suffer as long as possible, easy to get rid off that fool once he is out. Car accident, drowning, honey hooker trap, drug overdose, robbery etc. There are many poor criminals willing to kill him for a grand. They are waiting for him to get out.
Good Bless Nite Mr Jeff And Everyone Happy Bless Saturday You Are Awesome 👌 Love Your Podcast These Men's Didn't Play What A Life To Live God Bless You And Your Family God Bless Everyone 🙏 😊
Thank you for clearing that up...My neighbors all thought this was over a girl. I also want to say that you are really very good at fact checking and digging into these stories. Very professional along with your presentation 👏. Now before I ever watched your segment, I never really thought I would like it, why? Because of your backdrop wall. Thought it was about rappers and b-ball. But now I turn on every day. Thanks!
Jeff Great job.2 questions-why was Cali's car in the street & why no bodyguards/gun etc . Although juries rarely find insanity in a murder case- because of who Cali was I wouldn't be surprised if they do..
Most bosses do not have 24 hr bodyguards When Gotti was walking around NYC he’d have Jackie nose, Jojo, Bobby, his bro Pete etc as guards But once he was home the guards all left too
Yes yes thank you thank you I was trying to find an article about this but obviously they always keep their noses underground I’m from Lodi New Jersey so I’ve been hearing about this rumor for over three years specially about Frank’s death RIP Frank Cali 🪦
My uncle Bill Genovese used to go to Las Vegas in the '70s all the time with Hank balasary Hank had the vending machines my uncle had a diner in daleville Pennsylvania
Im a fan and love the work u put in. I hang around bensonhurst 13th to 18th ave to cropsey and bath ave and Ave u............. Let's just say.....top tomato and greed....-gossip in the neighborhoods-. Remember now mob rub outs aren't the same anymore compared to how the old school.mobsters used to get clipped. Keep doing what u do and appreciate ur dedication to ur craft. (Mob historian).
So . You don't think this guy is a street level / thug hitman. Trying a "the chin" approach to his crimes and law enforcement???? Seriously. Even this guy's name is Italian. He's the perfect hitman. For a boss. When he gets out . This guy is going to be either a top lieutenant for a powerful family. As a made member OR he's going to be the next roy demeo / Iceman ,Albert Anastasia, etc. this IS a hit. by some seriously smart f***ing dudes.
This is where I REALLY agree with the sentiment that the mob is kinda dead; especially as the top criminal group; intimidation and vengeance is dead. There is little to no avenging of anything; people are talking out in the open on UA-cam. Daughters and wives are making TV shows. This would never be happening growing up
I read a story the other day about how a Luchesse captain couldn't even get his soldiers to give someone a beating. They all just stalled and never did it.
I agree with you, it’s quite pathetic really, but the mob has we know it is finished, it’s been falling since the late 50s in my opinion, I blame Genovese, when he returned to New York he caused nothing but chaos back to New York ,that’s when the police started to fight the mob, now they don’t have the union’s, police, judges nor the politicians that they once had, nowadays it’s basically over and, when you got bosses like Masinno co-operating with government you know it’s finished but, I bet they made a fortune out of Covid though, take care of yourself buddy wherever you are in the woods from Stevie boy in Britain.
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Chicago and Detroit still pretty strong nothing like the 80s but still involved in gambling, clubs, construction some other hustles
Not to be nitpicky bc you're right the mob doesn't have the position it used to but platforms like UA-cam weren't an option in the 20th century, the new model of get made, flip, do UA-cam wasn't possible until recently.
Live by the gun Die by the gun…one LUNATIC killed by another LUNATIC… while the meek dodge the bullets in between them and wait for their inheritance 😶
Good stuff as always Jeff! I still think this murder was very strange and shit just didn't add up. I think this guy was weak minded and had people talk him into doing this and taking the fall.
You calling them weak is what makes me stronger. On the money side they’re pumping even more than you can imagine. They still have strong ties to the government. But on the murder side they have to tuck their tail. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. They have to sacrifice some of their old pride to transition into this new age..and they do it well.

Mobsters don't use bodyguards, it's a sign of fear. Even Gotti, heck, even Gambino didn't use bodyguards when they were at home.
kirk... that is absolutely untrue. Bobby Boriello was his bodygard
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Perhaps on the street, but I doubt he stationed himself outside of his house every night.
@@tonythetiger1600
well it must be true then lol
Thank you for covering Mr Cali He is an interesting guy. Hope to hear more on him

Thank you for clearing up that he wasnt involved with cali's niece. I thought that was the issue this whole time. 👍
I haven't heard the word integral used in a paragraph that many times since I passed Calculus II.
Lol trur
Well said ending man, definitely good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
You do such a great job. I enjoy your channel.
Thanks for watching
Can you please do an episode on Lefty 'two guns'..
Excellent show SIR 💯
appreciate you
love your show you have a ton of info what area are you from
Philly area. Thanks for watching
Excellent bit of journalism even with the hand movements lol
The kid been in protective custody ever since he shot cali so what exactly could the family do about it so far?
Maby get to someone he loves kinda like GF1 idk tho im not a gangster.
another person who didn't listen, hes NOT in prison. He's in a mental facility. You didnt understand the premise of the video
I’m quite sure that the Gambino’s could’ve paid the screws for someone to have gotten to him, I’ve often wondered why someone didn’t get to him, someone got to Epstein mate so if the Gambino’s really wanted him I’m sure they could’ve somehow.
@@steviedogs8148 the mob has rules too. At least in America, you don't go after civilian family members.
Lots things like some body pretends to pc up then takes care of him been happening in prisons for yrs
Great video brother and much respect to Mr calli s family.
No doubt

he's retired but I will check it out.
The niece story was widely reported early on, with the angle that Mr. Cali told him to stay away from the “niece”, and he then became enraged……
it never happened
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Yeah, they ran with all that garbage, including the power struggle angle, within 24hrs. I believe they also said Cali was a native of Italy. Great job, Jeff. 👍🏻

He wouldn't be in general population in prison. With snitches and ex gang members who would get killed on mainline.
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu if he wasn’t in the funny farm he’d probably have been got to . Imo

Is that "Biggie" and :Kobe" in those pictures on your wall
Get video as always 👍 have you ever heard of Joey Echos who was with the purple gang back in the 70s
Yeah I have. OC Shortz just did a video on him
Mob wants him suffer as long as possible, easy to get rid off that fool once he is out.

My uncle Bill Genovese used to go to Las Vegas in the '70s all the time with Hank balasary Hank had the vending machines my uncle had a diner in daleville Pennsylvania
Exactly. What does that have to do with anything ya clown?🤡
this was a crazy story
I think Dennis Farina played Billy Bats. Not Frank Vincent. I haven’t seen the
movie in a while, so I could be wrong.
frank vincent played billy bats man
Even Sammy the bull says Franck Cali is the man's men. Bizarre this case! 🤔
"Bizzarre this case".... okay Yoda...
Dude fucked up he ain’t realiz how bad till he hits that level 4 yard
he's not in prison... listen to video. He's in mental facility
I think Frank Cali fell out of favor with the Gambinos because there weren't many people at his funeral.

no he was just a crazed lunatic who believed Cali was part of the deep state
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu
agreed
Guy was a paranoid nut job. He thought he was doing a good deed for society. Now he’s in prison or nut house for life. In protective custody.
I still think the mob got this kid to do the hit, and play the crazy character if he got caught.
Not that it would happen, but if he were placed in population in a jail, do you think he'd be killed or beaten?
In the life of that anyone and everyone is a target, it's not a matter of if you die it's when, nobody is considered untouchable,
Too much echo. Need a mic or headphones so u can hear urself they way we hear u

Revenge is a dish best served cold

WE ARE Q…
Well remember that Gotti was almost killed by a nut job that shot at him.
The Uva’s
uva's never shot at anyone... and sajj, that was generally thought of as wrong place at the wrong time for Ciccone
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu I stand corrected then, did you do a story on this?
The mafia is too weak to do much these days
That’s why a random 22 year old knocks off the Gambino boss without any issues
You calling them weak is what makes me stronger. On the money side they’re pumping even more than you can imagine. They still have strong ties to the government. But on the murder side they have to tuck their tail. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. They have to sacrifice some of their old pride to transition into this new age..and they do it well.
@@yohannesford cool story bro
Your “set” is too stark bro. Your doing great stuff because I’ve never heard it anyplace else.
I thought it was against their rules to be made both in America and Sicily?
Good good job all right always thought there was something funny about that Cali shooting
Thanks for watching
So strange that things like this still exist in america
Things don’t seem so far fetched
' FRESH FRUIT FRANKY ' Frank Cali was his street name 😉
They get on the blacks about Zimmerman, why can't one the members of five families get this dude. Just Saying !!!
