In light of the mafia trilogy remastered remake, I wanted make a mini-documentary on the founder of organized crime and that made the mafia game possible - Charles Lucky Luciano.
It’s 1931, near the end of the very profitable prohibition era in New York, things are pretty lawless in the criminal underground.
You’re Lucky Luciano, a mobster in New York’s largest Italian gang, headed by, aka “Joe the Boss”. You’re part of the rising second generation of Italian mobsters that spoke English and were raised in America. You didn’t care for silly things. You were an entrepreneur and a Scilian. You saw the opportunity to make even more money by expanding operations into new ventures.
Joe the Boss was against the second biggest Italian borgata, headed by Salvatore Maranzano. He was too power hungry and caught up in his giant ego. And you’ve grown a little disenchanted by all this violence. Even if this war were to end right now, war will certainly break out again in the future. After some murders here & there, you end this war and created The Commission.
This war started when your boss, Giuseppe Joe the Boss Masseria, got the idea that he would be able to declare himself as the boss of bosses, and all the other gangs would just submit to his rule.
Eighteen months later, you finally decided to end it. You went to Maranzano and made a deal behind your bosses back. You’ll get to claim victory and get recognized as the new boss of Joe’s family. Maranzano accepted. And boom - the war was over. Maranzano won and recognized you as the boss.
But Maranzano decided to go back on the deal he made with you by making the same arrogant mistake that Joe the Boss made. Maranzano forced all families into the tight chain of command. He brought all the traditional rules from the Sicilian mafia to America. Maranzano betrayed you. If you don’t act fast, you’ll be lying next to your old boss.
Everyone knew Luciano was practically the Boss of all Bosses. The Five Families slowly but surely DESTROYED their competition. Lucky Luciano became the most powerful mobster in New York.
The rise of the ambitious Luciano gave rise to an prosecutor, named Thomas Dewey. Dewey’s goal was to paint the prostitutes as poor that Lucky took advantage of. Luciano was sentenced to 30-50 years in prison. Once he was out of prison, Dewey got him deported back to Italy and never got to see his beloved home of New York ever again until he died of a heart attack at 64.

I saw some suggesting human trafficking. Funny and interesting UA-cam channel.

No cap 🤣
If only Lucky Luciano had Babbel, how much lucky-er he would have been.
@JAKE TRAN Literally Mastered it 😂, so i guess fairplay🙌
You should do something on the oil industry or early industrial magnates like Carnegie, ford and Rockefeller.
THANKS DUDE!!
Yes! That is an INSANE set of events!
what james corbett from the corbett report "how big oil conquered the world"
Definitely Rockefeller
Ooh ROCKEFELLER. young rich kid who was laughed at for buying railroads instead of oil until those same oil tycoons needed him to transport the oil.......with trains. Monopoly bruh
For some reason unknown to me, I've always been fascinated by the Mafia. Your videos are the best and most succinct content that I have seen on this topic. Your other videos also present very thoughtful and salient points. I wish you success in all of your endeavors Jake. You are a truly gifted UA-camr.
I suppose we lack that "society" thing nowadays. They are painted as classy, tough guys, who had this Brotherhood of fellows who backed them. Its supposed that they had rules, and live under a aim.
@@castronator29 barbarians is what they were and what they are. Do not romanticise them.
@@castronator29 They are criminals and really bad guys.
@@castronator29 Well, even the Mafioso & the other Organized Crime Families lost that "taste" if you say that so. Even the Yakuza aren't the good ole Robinhood people, it's all about the money now.
Speaking of the Chinese Triads, they are divided onto several factions making it seemingly impossible to judge their system upon one's gang.
Now-a-days most of these organized crime units operate in the shadows , commiting white-collar crimes that'd attract less heat on them, Unlike the Mexican cartels cuz they are ruthless af.
You long for brotherhood, something very rare these days for us ambitious lost young men.
No one
Jake: After some murders here and there
lmao
At least I didn't say it. Thanks
Love the fact that you are using so many cuts from "Once upon a time in America". What a fantastic film.
hell yeah!
Nice video about one of the most important US mob in the history. There is 2 important points missing : 1- Luciano was released from prison and sent to Sicily not spontaneously but because he was an intermediary between USA and Sicilian mafia to help US troops invading Sicily and Italy in general. 2- One important information was that Dewey at the beginning of his career was targeted by another mob who wanted him dead but Luciano and the syndicate didn't allow his murder and Dewey never came to know it and it's interesting that he he was the one to later put Luciano in Prison.
You are correct. Dutch Schultz wanted to have Dewey killed. Luciano did not approve, and actually had Schultz killed because of this. Dewey owed his life to Luciano. I have read that Dewey felt guilty for having trumped up the charges on Luciano, and this was a factor in Luciano getting released from prison. One fact about Luciano that does not get stressed a lot is that early in his criminal career Luciano was a rat. He rolled on some people to get a lighter sentence for some drug charges. Too he became very fearful of the mob in his later life. He sensed they wanted him dead, and the stress of this is believed to have contributed to him having heart attacks in his final days. These mob guys are all bravado when it comes to killing others, but when their own life is on the line it is a different story with all but a few of them. Sonny Black was a notable exception. He knew his number was up, he went to the meeting anyway and told them to shoot him again and make it a good one after the first shot didn't kill him.
Even Joe Bonnano thought Schultz was crazy to do this and was offed before he got close to Dewey. As Bugsy Siegal put it, we only kill each it other not others outside the mob.

Show was great

Agreed.

THANKS DUDE!!
That was one of the smoothest ad transitions I've ever seen
THANKS DUDE!!
Definitely a Hall of Fame transition. I was so focused on following the story that it caught me by surprise.
The idea that Luciano climbed to the top and being as innovative and visionary as he was while still following the traditional path of being “made” and all really appeals to me for some reason
Getting your throat slit and stabbed by ice pickers are the side effects which you may get with this appealing thing
Excellent video! Love your style of narration, puts the viewer in the video.
Bro the quality of your videos is so good! Learning from you and implementing in my youtube channel!! Keep it up! 👍

Good job man, I really enjoyed how you structured this video. The pacing was easy to follow. Definitely gonna hit that subscribe button and Bell icon.
Lol I love your content. Something about how you tell a story, including your voice, and your semi-serious attitude towards underworld activities. just makes them really entertaining. Keep it up!
THANKS DUDE!!
Thanks for posting this. I was looking for something to watch during dinner!!
Can’t wait for the Mafia 1 remake! You’re hyping me up with those videos hahaha

Love the video, as always.
Are you taking your channel in a more historic direction or are you planning on covering more contemporary events as well?

I am honestly hypnotized by the tempo of these videos! Truly amazing
Glad you like them!!
Thanks for you content, its great
THANKS DUDE!!
"The only way out is in a *unskippable advertisement* "
This is an excellent video. Great Segway into the ad as well. Clever!
Do one video about the Jewish Mafia !
While this video did an amazing job covered Lucky Luciano and the Italian Mafia, you overlooked the role Jewish gangsters such as Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel played in relation to Lucky Luciano and the formation of The Commission and Murder, inc.
Meyer Lansky, was arguably Lucky Luciano’s right hand man and known as the Mafia’s accountant.
Bugsy Siegel was instrumental in the create of what we know today as Las Vegas!
and these are just two Jewish gangsters.
Mati Geula Cohen yes very true , I will add that Siegel and Lansky were the inspiration for characters Mo Green and Hyman Roth in the Godfather 1 and 2
Lansky was more than a right-hand man, they were childhood friends and business partners, he was actually the brains of the operation.
Ok we get it you're Jewish
Still, it was all under command of the Italians. They should definitely get their own video, as they're very interesting but the Italian Mafia will always be the centerpiece when it comes to organized crime. They simply achieved so much that other syndicates never will. And that's including today's time. A Southern Italian mafia by the name of 'ndrangheta rakes in from 50 to a 100 billion a year. Crazy stuff.

i literally cannot put into words how much i love your videos and channel!! i share it to all my friends, you deserve millions and millions of views🥺
Would really appreciate if you listed the movies you take footage from?
Some real great content you provide man. Thank you :)
Best yet
you did a awesome job, i do feel its worth mentioning that during ww2 the US government came to lucky in jail and asked him for help getting into the south of Italy in return he will be reliced from jail, they didn't tell him that he would be deported to Italy. Lucky loved America.
reporter:what was his motivation and ambition
other guy:he loved money
i can relate😂😂😂😂
Luciano got VD on purpose to avoid going to war.
He also wanted to get rid of the initiation ceremony but Lansky told him to keep it because people need tradition
Hey Jake, greetings from India, man i love ur Channel, but those very short video clips is just so much diverting from the content.
This is basically the very solid idea of home teaching. Great editing, great script. Here's an idea, do a video on "How to survive in an underworld drug business empire" (not that it relates.) Keep up the good work!
THANKS DUDE!!
I can't believe I haven't discovered your content before. This is great educational content and I hope you're not stopping anytime soon :)
THANKS DUDE!!
As always, The Eyes of the FBI were on Jake as soon as this video was posted. 😂

Man your content is literally glimpse into real world and how it works. These real knowledge builds estimate how the life will be like as I active participate in the society.
Love you content, brother😍😍😍😍😍
Man it must have taken weeks to gather all the clips for this video... I'd just like to mention that Luciano didn't just get out of prison, he got a long sentence and only got it commuted because he supplied information about the NY docks to the government during WW2.
A banger of a video, as always
THANKS DUDE!!
There is story that Lucky helped US soldiers during war to invade Sicily/Italy by ordering people in Sicily to helped soldiers and guide them
It's not a story, it actually happened. "Operation Underworld", it was called, and it was actually an official, organized effort by the United States Navy. It entailed using the Mafia, which controlled the New York dock workers union, to make sure that the port of New York, a vital piece of the US war effort (since it was where all the troops and materials en route to Europe set sail from), continued to run smoothly, without any strikes or work stoppages or anything of the sort; also, the Mafia would investigate and report on any potential fascist sympathizers or spies among the mostly Italian dock workers. In return for his services, the US Navy convinced the state of New York to downgrade Luciano's sentence from life in prison to ""just"" deportation back to Italy.
@@MrConstantine02 your confusing the dock instance with the invasion of Sicily. Both happened but underworld was only in relation to the docks
Yes it did happen, made men in sicily provided info, support and logistics to allied solders landing in sicily to free italy
Don Calagero vicini... spelling is wrong im sure but that's the Don in Sicily that helped with Luciano
@@HooyahPeacock Don Calogero Vizzini 👍
I figured out why I like these videos. You use the 2nd Person Point of View, which uses the word 'You' instead of I or He. Not many people can pull off 2nd Person POV, but you're killing it.
You know how to sell bro goddamn that ending 💯💸 part of the culture, language and all just killing it
lmao thanks dude
Dude I love those mafia videos. Great content bro please make more !
This was an excellent video! I find the history of organized crime in America to be very fascinating and you got me into researching more about it.
Your channel is really progressing. Here's to the best success for you!
THANKS DUDE!!
You should have mentioned how he brokered with the us government to have himself extradited in return for protecting the ports in new york.
Finally another video
u really need to start listing these movies u use so i can watch them
What a SMOOTH transition there at the end....Lucky Luciano would be proud!
Jake, can you do a similar one one rise and fall of Felix Gallardo?
Great video, thank you.
The information is presented clearly, and I loved all the short parts out of many classic mafia movies
I’m not understanding luciano’s portrayal on boardwalk? He was known for controlling his emotions yet he lost his shit every couple episodes through the entire series
Luciano was 23 in season 1. By season 5 he is the Luciano that you guys probably know of. He was in his mid 30s then
@@alpacinoravidutt exactly he was just a kid who got mentored by arnold rothstein alongside his friend lansky.
Sure, if you discount him beating the shit out of Vito Genovese at the Havana Conference.
@@albertbarese4170 wait, he personally beat up the snake Genovese? Never heard that before. Got a source? I soo badly want it to be true.
@@siddhant... not mentored by rothstein. Stop believing movies.
Amazing video as always
I really enjoy these videos, especially the crime-related videos, maybe you should talk about Arnold Rothstein also known as the Brain
yes! in the pipeline
Your videos are so addictive bro they're so well made keep it up!!
THANKS DUDE!!
everytime i hear "mobster" i think he's talking about italian lobsters
A masterful montage and medley of mafia murder movies!
Love your content man. Only advice that I would give that would great improve my experience would be if you could put the name of the shows or movies you show when they are used in your videos.
Jake, thank you so much for your videos!
This was great although some of it was a little confused. Mainly the 5 familes of NY were not really territory based. Each family had its own base of operations and so they may have had heavier presence in some areas. But for the most part the city of New York was deemed open territory. The commision however was not originally comprised solely of NY families and many outer area families were included. Those families were territory based. Florida, Detroit, Buffalo, etc.
Also the names were not Gambino etc at that time, and Chicago believe it or not was not a part. Although they were respected and over time considered de facto members as they functioned the same way. But for example in Chicago they are not considered Cosa Nostra or mafia. They are called the Outfit. Capone was not part of Lucianos project as he considered himself too big and was arrested and incarcerated before Luciano's power would have been impossible to ignore.
Your editing is exquisite
THANKS DUDE!!
The mafia has been around since the 1800's in Sicily
yes
Clan based crime familys not la cosa nostra
That was probably one of the best ad transitions I’ve ever seen
where’s the video on how to seamlessly transition into an ad read?
brother your vids are on something else keep up the great work
THANKS DUDE!!
Hey Jake I told you all of that stuff in confidence :(
Great job bro. So well done!👍👍
Who else believes that all comments that simply say, "First", should automatically be deleted?
I love you Jake you are posting real real shit that I've been tryna get my friends to understand. I keep shouting you out so much to my homies
THANKS DUDE!!
I still want to hear how his voice sounds. Rumors it's a secret recording of an interview that he did. I heard lansky and al Capone. But never Luciano. Lol. I love Mafia stories. Lol
Yeah I wonder if it’s a strong New York accent or like a soft one with an Italian twang
@@ste308 I guess we have to assume it was something like what it is in the movie mobsters or boardwalk empire hbo series lol
your videos never disappoint, lots of respect for you my friend

No “mobsters 1991” movie scenes ? That was a good movie
Video quality is like from production team but its our boy Jake Tran. So fucking good quality.
