Thank you Anthony for sharing these letters from John. I don't care what anyone says about John he was a man's man. Salute to you Mr. Ruggiano. And my condolences to your father another great legend.
Awesome for you to share those and I don't know your father but I think he would be very proud of you. You did what's best for you and your REAL family. God bless
People can say all the nasty things they want about John Gotti, but he wasn't completely evil. He had a human side with love and compassion. Criminals are very complex in that way. Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to your videos.
I def agree with you there especially after just finishing a review of the gotti tapes book on my mikey scars patreon.. also I think we need to remember it’s sammy telling a lot of these stories making john look 👀 bad, so always consider the source my man! 💪💭🤍✌️
@tonycarech5545 My take on John, his downfall was he abused people verbally around him because that was his way with his ego, but in reality he wasn't half as bad as someone like Gaspipe that would shake your hand and shoot you when you turned around. John talked rough, but he only used force when he deemed it necessary. Gaspipe made John look like a choir boy! John at least was loyal to his friends.
Ant.. you're the best interviewee of the Get Gotti show.. you have all the best lines and insights.. and you've always told your stories the same way every time, over the years. The UA-cam guys bashing you aren't conducting themselves professionally.. they were never in the life and should not be bashing you. If they were smart, they would have had you on those shows and been balanced and professional. They are hurting themselves... they have no credibility.. no legs to stand on.. they were never mob guys or mob connected... they're burning bridges with real mob guys. It's really stupid.
Anthony, Im gonna be honest, when you read what he wrote in regards to your father's passing I cried hard. Bless you and yours and RIP Andy, John and all the loved ones lost. Bless you
As a genealogist, thank you for keeping those letters in the family, and sharing them with the public! It’s important to keep them in the family and hand them down to your children. Great UA-cam channel and Netflix show!!
Good morning Anthony. Hope all is well with you and your family. Good stuff! It's a shame there are people who are so full of hate. Jealousy. Envy. Disregard the haters. Keep on doing what you do! God bless and thanks.
That party at El Carib must have been incredible... Talk about a festive atmosphere... You really experienced the utmost highs and unfortunately lows in that life... Hold on to the highs
Andy, I don't know you personally but we hail from the same area and you seem like a genuinely nice guy and I think what you are doing now is so valuable. Between the drug rehab and teaching the youth the crime doesn't pay anymore I have a lot of respect for you. Kudos brother
Thank you for sharing those beautiful letters with us it was good to hear the human side of JG again it was great to hear love and respect David Porterx
You were great on Get Gotti! Laughed when you commented on Bruce Cutler. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with the letters. Not a Gotti fan but you and Sammy I love. ❤❤
John's hand writing looks like something out of the Declaration Of Independence. I saw a letter from the book RJ Roger & Mikey Scars are analyzing "The Gotti Tapes". Very ornate
Anthony you are a genuine person I’m sure your dad would be proud of you regardless whatever has happened Can you give any info on Sam corsaro he was part of tony lee crew
Good show Anthony. I'm happy for your success and I'm glad there are people like you sharing the human and real nature of John Gotti. Keep up the good work.
Very nice of you, Mr. Ruggiano, to share these private and personel correspondence with us. To sell those would indeed be a classless move. It is abundantly clear to see the closeness John, and his immediate family, felt to you and yours. To loan them to the Mob Museum in Vegas would be a great way in which to show the public and share a more personel side to the infamous Mafioso. I have researched and studied the history of American Organized crime and it's characters for many years. Along with many I have found the whole subject endlessly fascinating. Thank you for this channel and for all the good work you are doing at the rehab Center where you work. I, also, share some of the same dark history regarding substance use/abuse and addiction as yourself in the past. I think your work there is admirable. Anyway I just want to say that I find you a likeable person and a colorful character. You are a born storyteller. if there ever was one. It is easy to be a loyal follower of this channel. I also follow you on other channels and podcasts. Good luck going forward. I think there is nothing stopping you and your ready to bring this all to another level soon because America is in love with "the life" and can listen to you guys all day long, ( Sammy and Michael, too). Bless you's guys. See ya on the next. And to all the haters out there trying to drag you fellows down, Their just jealous. Hey, just... Fa-get about it! Peace. Go with God. Later.
Anthony keep doing what you doing. I'm happy you was on get gotti. I watched each episode twice. Just in case I missed something. People, remember HOLLYWOOD GOTTA MAKE A FEW CHANGES..salute to you brother.. wish you nothing but greatness and health
I have photos in my living room like most people have pictures of their children. I look up to him, i wish i had his strength. Whenever im down or feeling like im going through a time difficult time, I take a minute and look at his photo, it gives me strength.
I can't believe some people don't believe Anthony. His dad was a legend from what I have seen and lived in the same neighborhood as Gotti. Of course they knew each other. That and Anthony doesn't make any spectacular claims. He just says he worked for his dad. Anthony comes across as 100% authentic.
Anthony, i like you, I like what you represent and really admire your sincerity. Thank you for opening up for us and talking about your experiences. your great man.
Anthony is a true class act, and I’m sure his father was exactly the same bc he’s a cut from that exact cloth.. really beautiful touching letters Anthony I loved this video and would love to hear you read the rest of the letters - God bless you and your family and thankyou for all the work you do to help humanity esp suffering addicts and alcoholics 💪🫡🇮🇹🤍✌️
I was born n raised in Champaign Illinois.. not far from Marion fed penitentiary... i have driven by it many many times and was gonna try n bring a few dollars to put on John's books... not that he needed any help or anything but i never did bc i didn't know him personally obviously n didnt wanna go through all the crap doing n look like some wanna be ect ect.. but. Now i wish i had tried. My sincere thanks for you sharing them privet letters! Take care n ill be watching n listening to the channel.
One or two years before John died, I sent him a letter. Somehow I managed to get a hold of his correspondence address in prison, so I decided to write him a “fan” letter. Weird, maybe, but I after reading several book about him, and watching the HBO Gotti film a dozen times, I became enamoured with his persona. Unfortunately, I never reveived a reply. I do, however, have a personal thank you card written by Victoria Gotti to me, as a responce to my condolence card after John passed
I enjoy your show very much, Anthony. I started with Franceze's and Sammy's show. Now, your own. I have a question for you if i may and i believe it's a good one that any of you guys can answer.... Well, here it is....How is it legal for the govt to break into someone's home in order to bug their target? And a judge signs off on it, at that. Did the Judge know they were going to break into the ladies home? Whst happens if she caught them and she had a heart attack or something like that? It just seems so dirty on the govts part. Its like who is the criminal more.....The govt or the mob? Its crazy. Keep going strong. Congrats on your continued recovery.
that first letter says it was a government exibit... must of been used as evidence when you cooperated. you were able to get it back? great video. thank you
You seem genuine and clearly these letters are the real deal. I’m not sure why his children seem to challenge everything anyone states about their dad, he was very charismatic but no saint. They tried to deny his gorgeous daughter he had with SC and she looks just like him so no way he could deny her.
Btw Anthony, "they're" not mad at you for cooperating... let that go, I can hear the guilt in your voice everytime you talk about it...We all realize with 20/20 hindsight our mistakes and I'm sure they see the truth now
I came aware of you because I watched "A Bronx Tale". You are the reason I am interested in the Mafia. Gotti is more of a sideshow, as far as I am concerned.
Hello Anthony. Watching from Scranton PA. Alot of people out here enjoy your channel. Sorry about your old man, I know it was a long time ago, I saw ya get choked up reading the letter. Its tough growing up. Seems after a certain point in life it's bad new after bad news. Anyway, I was wondering if you had any run ins out in Northeast PA preferably the Scranton area. Ty, and best of luck moving forward. PS congrats on the show. Its excellent.
I had a bad dope habit,was always running around LES,coke and dope were all over the place,late 70s,80s,90s,the city was a different place back then,now relaxing,playing golf in florida,do i miss it,now and then,but the city is not the city i knew back then. 🙏✌️
Anthony, That is a wealth of history in its own way. I'm just a regular guy working, trying to get by and the life your from is clearly apple and oranges. John as I see it, had a huge ego, and yet seemed to look out for his area and community. As more is revealed true colors are surfacing.
It's amazing that the viewers have the need to question the validity of Anthony's association with his past life. Shame on you nay sayers for doubting this humble man.
Why places like the revenite, and the burgsin hunt and fish, etc wasn’t bought and turned into museums is above me!!! You know what kinda cold mine you would have if the club and apartment gotti met in was a museum??? JACKPOT!!!!
Like John said you can know 1000 Andy’s 500 joes but there’s only one John mother fn gotti one of a kind class act wish people were more like him these days trump kind of reminds me of him
When I was with the Russos 96-11 I saw my share of guys but I used to hear stories of parties when they first opened in 87 with all dudes and the waitresses used to kill it 💰
Great as always Mr. Ruggiano. I’m not sure why angel is speaking Bad of you. To the best of my knowledge & everything I’ve seen of your videos you’ve never speak in Ill of John just spoke the truth. It has to be what was said with Sammy about John sleeping with Neils daughter most likely
You probably won't read this brotha. But I wouldn't read the letters. People can say what they want but you go back and watch the begging and then watch your smile and character change when he asked you about is there level of cooperation. You went full detail you couldn't wait to talk about that story. And you were funny. The other stuff is too emotional for you. But its nice to hear your personality come through in your stories when asked questions. Keep up the good work. Get your story out there cause if you don't tell people about john and your father their legacy will be filled with lies
Thank you Anthony for sharing these letters from John. I don't care what anyone says about John he was a man's man. Salute to you Mr. Ruggiano. And my condolences to your father another great legend.
Another great one Anthony 👌 salute from Scotland bro 👊🏴
Hey bro. Brilliant content. Could listen to yours story’s all day. No B.S just straight talk. Salute 🇮🇹
You're a legend, man. Can't wait for the 3-man sitdown with you, Sammy and Michael. It is inevitable at this point
You idiots this organized crime family shit is fake Gotti is an actor it's all freemasonry not real put on by the government you fucking dummies
I’m excited!!
@@charlesbeeman8323 that would be awesome. Back and forth storytelling with different point of views and insight
I just love how honest and calm Anthony sounds. His story about doing cocaine with celebrities make you feel like you're there
@@irish_goodbyeetell the truth what are you smoking
Rispetto 🙏
Awesome for you to share those and I don't know your father but I think he would be very proud of you. You did what's best for you and your REAL family. God bless

@zarkovecerkovic4825 This is very similar to how I size him up 'according' to what's in the public realm.
Love the channel Anthony , best wishes going forward mate, from sacha in London 🇬🇧 uk
No matter what people say about john you cannot say there wasn't something special about him, he was one of a kind, a man till the end.
Yes he was
Definitely
And again, fantasic Show. Best wishes from Germany
Amazing to get a glimpse into the man's mind. Thanks for sharing Anthony.
Ant.. you're the best interviewee of the Get Gotti show.. you have all the best lines and insights.. and you've always told your stories the same way every time, over the years. The UA-cam guys bashing you aren't conducting themselves professionally.. they were never in the life and should not be bashing you. If they were smart, they would have had you on those shows and been balanced and professional. They are hurting themselves... they have no credibility.. no legs to stand on.. they were never mob guys or mob connected... they're burning bridges with real mob guys. It's really stupid.
You’re the best at this. And a real gentleman. You’re doing great. Irish ☘️ ☘️☘️
Anthony, Im gonna be honest, when you read what he wrote in regards to your father's passing I cried hard. Bless you and yours and RIP Andy, John and all the loved ones lost. Bless you
As a genealogist, thank you for keeping those letters in the family, and sharing them with the public! It’s important to keep them in the family and hand them down to your children. Great UA-cam channel and Netflix show!!
Such a nice way to prove the gentle & kind considerate John Gotti through well written letters VERY REVEALING ! thanks
Good morning Anthony. Hope all is well with you and your family. Good stuff! It's a shame there are people who are so full of hate. Jealousy. Envy. Disregard the haters. Keep on doing what you do! God bless and thanks.
Great show. You’re a class act. Keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing some more letters.
Thank you kindly!
That party at El Carib must have been incredible... Talk about a festive atmosphere... You really experienced the utmost highs and unfortunately lows in that life... Hold on to the highs
Please know they are not mad at you, they have none of those negative feelings where they are. It’s nothing but love❤
Andy, I don't know you personally but we hail from the same area and you seem like a genuinely nice guy and I think what you are doing now is so valuable. Between the drug rehab and teaching the youth the crime doesn't pay anymore I have a lot of respect for you. Kudos brother

Glad you enjoyed it!
Love you on the show Anthony great job
Great job, Anthony!
Got me choked up a little on that last letter!
You don’t have to prove anything Anthony
You and sammy are the best true gangsters on UA-cam
John's hand writing looks like something out of the Declaration Of Independence.
I saw a letter from the book RJ Roger & Mikey Scars are analyzing "The Gotti Tapes". Very ornate
My warmest regards to you Anthony, great content ! Thanks and God bless. Paulie from Sydney Australia.
Anthony you are a genuine person I’m sure your dad would be proud of you regardless whatever has happened
Can you give any info on Sam corsaro he was part of tony lee crew

I agree you can’t sell them that would be a disgrace.

Took some footwork but yes
You seem genuine and clearly these letters are the real deal. I’m not sure why his children seem to challenge everything anyone states about their dad, he was very charismatic but no saint.

Love your podcast!! Great podcast!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
I guess it must be Friday morning 👍👊🙏🏼 hello Anthony hope all is well
In joy @ChristopherCappello7221
I came aware of you because I watched "A Bronx Tale". You are the reason I am interested in the Mafia. Gotti is more of a sideshow, as far as I am concerned.

When John calls your father a real man then you know for a fact that he was absolutely a real deal bona-fide MAN!
Anthony,
That is a wealth of history in its own way. I'm just a regular guy working, trying to get by and the life your from is clearly apple and oranges.
John as I see it, had a huge ego, and yet seemed to look out for his area and community. As more is revealed true colors are surfacing.
Would love to hear letters containing funny things Johnny boy said! Man was quite the comedian 😅
It's amazing that the viewers have the need to question the validity of Anthony's association with his past life. Shame on you nay sayers for doubting this humble man.
Why places like the revenite, and the burgsin hunt and fish, etc wasn’t bought and turned into museums is above me!!! You know what kinda cold mine you would have if the club and apartment gotti met in was a museum??? JACKPOT!!!!
It makes me kinda sad to hear John gotti trying to stay positive in prison worrying about other people
Like John said you can know 1000 Andy’s 500 joes but there’s only one John mother fn gotti one of a kind class act wish people were more like him these days trump kind of reminds me of him
When I was with the Russos 96-11 I saw my share of guys but I used to hear stories of parties when they first opened in 87 with all dudes and the waitresses used to kill it 💰
Lmfao😂
Slap those letters on Lee Cole's face hahaha
Great as always Mr. Ruggiano. I’m not sure why angel is speaking Bad of you. To the best of my knowledge & everything I’ve seen of your videos you’ve never speak in Ill of John just spoke the truth. It has to be what was said with Sammy about John sleeping with Neils daughter most likely
How was your fathers relationship with Gotti after the Castellano hit? Some people say there was a rift between them, is that true?
You probably won't read this brotha. But I wouldn't read the letters. People can say what they want but you go back and watch the begging and then watch your smile and character change when he asked you about is there level of cooperation. You went full detail you couldn't wait to talk about that story. And you were funny. The other stuff is too emotional for you. But its nice to hear your personality come through in your stories when asked questions. Keep up the good work. Get your story out there cause if you don't tell people about john and your father their legacy will be filled with lies
Thank you @moneymalzy much appreciated. I read them all
