I don’t know man, I’d argue that Genovese is a bigger and more powerful family, and I say that based on the fact that there’s little to no documentation on them, they successfully invaded attention better than any mob family
I agree 100% . The Genovese family was far more secretive and under the radar. They were as large or even slightly larger than the Gambinos and were tremendously wealthy. They had very few cooperators( snitches) in their history. Far fewer than the other families.
@@philb.1502 the proof is in the research, you don’t have too much info on any of them really, so God only knows what monsters they had in their organization
There is a lot of misinformation in this. First of all, the Genovese were arguably far more powerful than the Gambinos during Carlo's reign. And arguably still are. 1:46 Carlo was not involved in Maranzano's murder, nor was he Luciano's right hand man. That was Vito Genovese. And that doesn't even make sense, why would Gambino choose to go from an underboss or Consigliere, to a soldier under Mangano? 2:02 There is no single "New York Mafia" there are five families. Gambino became head of his own, not the entire commission. Which you seem to be aware of when mentioning the Lucheses a minute later. So I am not sure what is going on there. 17:11 Gravano didn't "crack." By that point they were by no means "best friends." Gotti was a very jealous man and had grown to resent Gravano's reputation and influence. By the time they were arrested, Gotti was spreading several lies and rumors about Gravano as a means to justify having him killed. And I can't remember exactly, but I believe that the plan was actually in the works at the time of their arrests. Edit: I feel I should clarify my comment. I do not like mobster nor do I condone their actions. I am simply fascinated by them. Nothing more. I do not think they are cool, nor do I make any excuses for them. They just interest me.
Lol gambino on don carlos reign is way more powerful and dangerous than the genovese family after all he has the most cruel killers on his side which is roy demeo and sammy gravano abd there's other guys aswell that could probably drove fear even against other 4 5 families of ny and didn't you know that genovese boss was murdered because he didn't pay carlo gambino of something he owed?? I forgot who's boss is this genovese guy but it's true he was the boss and he was murder because of his stupidity of messing with carlo gambino
One thing I learned in the street and as well as in business legitimately, is that once the people under you truly believe they can do your job. You're in huge trouble. So you never ever tell someone to do something that you wouldn't do yourself or have done. That's how you get respect from the ppl below u
There’s no evidence Carlo committed any murders by his own hand. There were two bosses before him with Mangano and Anastasia. He wasn’t Luckys right hand man either. If anything Lansky was. He wasn’t even subpoenaed for the Kefauver committee. But Anastasia was. Same with Costello, Adonis, Lansky, Accardo, Ricca all the guys with the real power.
The Gambino's, Lucchese and the Genovese. Were the most powerful mob family's in america in the 1950's, 60's and 70's, but it was Don Carlo Gambino who was leader of the Commision from 1959-76. Roy Demeo was not a full member in Don Carlo reign, he was a made member in Don Castellano reign. Carlo didn't approve of Roy, he work for Nino Gaggi as a top lone shark in the 1960's. Demeo did not get his first kill until 1973 when he was 31 years old. Roy was a made man in 1978, Don Carlo was gone by that time. The gemini crew were one of, if not the most fear contract hit-men in american mafia history.
Carlo actually named Dellacroce the Boss but Carlo had dementia and Paul wouldn't let anyone really speak to Carlo and when they was allowed Paul had used Carlo dementia to trick Carlo into thinking he named Paul the Boss but he really didn't he named Dellacroce the Boss but Carlo dementia was used against him and Paul by doing that move eventually sealed his own fate years later when Gotti had him killed
I saw De Meos face on the thumbnail & had to watch this but I don't think the Iceman was just a liar & wasn't connected to Demeo because otherwise he wouldn't know so much about them, he may have not been a hitman for them but I do think they used him for atleast one hit or two so that it wouldn't draw any attention to the Gemini gang by they're own family & the feds obviously believed Kuklinski cuz he knew too much about the mob to that it even persuaded the FBI to believe him which they would know right away that he was lying if he really wasn't connected to them somehow so I wouldn't count him out completely on everything he was telling the government regardless what Sammy the Bull or Michael Franchese has said about him especially if they didn't know what De Meo was doing on his own time & hiding from his own family!!!! The Gemini gang would snare victims into they're lounge & then hacked them up but they didn't go out & do hits on anyone that could actually get them killed by they're own family hence why they would use someone like a outsider like Richard Kuklinski to keep they're operations go unnoticed by the Gambinos
Great video! im italian and my faimly is from new york! they came over in 1900, so this is stuff really interest's me. i love your content keep it up and you'll be huge in no time.
For the 87000th video, that is NOT a photo of Salvatore Marranzano. Pretty sure that the same photo that everyone uses is of a London/British monster potentially named Salvatore Messina.
I watch another channel called OZ shorts and he did a video about that the only depiction of him is from the coroner who sketched his dead body or something along those lines. Other than that there are no photos or pictures of him in existence.
If you crave more of an origin story, want to know about the times before the 5 families OR if you love nonfiction and American crime history, I highly, highly recommend : The Black Hand by Stephan Talty. Once you're introduced to Det Joseph Petrosino, you'll never forget him - a brilliant and necessary figure buried under the the perpetual turbulence that was, is, organised crime.
Top Mafias Peak was when these guys below ran the show 1 : Chin Gigante (Genovese) 2 : Carmine Persico (Colombo) 3 : Paul Castellano (gambino) 4 : Tony “ducks” Corrallo (Lucchese) 5 : Joe Bonnano (Bonnano) Never was they was powerful as this moment when the Commison case come about
@@corina-rubinibotoc5576 off course the Bonnano family got ran out off town over the Donnie Brasco fiasco , then Bonnano brought a book out , then the Comisson Trial happened and life for the mafia was never the same
@@YackieChan i was trying to tell you that Joe Bonnano was exiled in 1968 after a failed attempt to take over the entire mafia, way before chin gigante or persico or castellano became bosses. It has nothing to do with donny brasco. The brasco incident was during the Philip Rastelli era in the 80s. The peak era was this: 1. Gotti 2. Chin Gigante 3. Corallo 4. Scarfo (philly mob) These 4 people controlled the whole country by 1987 In that period, The Colombos and bonnanos were down and decimated. After 1990, when Joe messina took over the bonnanos, they became the strongest mafia family in the US and messina was The last Don.
Old man Gambino was smart, he stayed low key. It's when Gotti took over he wanted the limelight. I mean come on.... He was featured on "TIME magazine" for god sakes and he loved it. To much publicity, too much Heat. 😂
Paul Castellano should have refused to take thr reigns of the Gambino family and instead let Dellacroce become boss with himself (Castellano) as underboss. That would have preserved harmony and avoided the infighting.
Let's be honest what made the Gambino's a fear family was when they brought in Roy Demao I'm sure I misspelled his last name and his crew along with already made man Capo Nino Gaggi, Roy was a big earner through his car theft ring and his connection he made with Irish Mob in Hells Kitchen, the Genovese crime family was the Ivey League of COSA Nostra.
Vito Corleone was an amalgamation of old guard mafiosi. He had the traits of many, and Corleone is a town in Palermo and part of the genesis of LCN ancestry.
Sammy flipped because Gotti was on tape bad mouthing him , and then told Sammy that he would have to take the fall for everything John did because he was the boss and the family needed him.
Your making Carlo way bigger than he was in his early days shit he even got the head job by default not because he organised Anastasia’s killing. Steve armone and a few others killed Anastasia and it was mainly joe biondo that was behind it, but others didn’t want him as boss so Carlo was made temporary boss then permanent boss. Also the New York mob didn’t become the gambino family lol they were just one of 5 New York families but you made it sound like the whole of the 5 families became just gambino. Salerno was also richer than him, Salerno was meant to be the first billionaire Italian mob boss though that’s never been proven but he was certainly the richest when he was locked up
Carlo had more power than fat tony. Tony was def super rich but i def think carmine persico was close to tony. Persico was getting millions from the gas scam but he was locked up so much that he never bought anything big like houses and shit. Fat tony had a house a condo and a horse farm in upstate ny. Carlo had more power than fat tony but maybe not as much as chin
@@timsmith1323 yes i know what you said. I agree that he was most likely richer than carlo but i dont know if i would say fat tony was the richest. Persico was up there big paul had lots of money shit they all had lots of money. Fat tony was def rich as shit though

Believe me I know Chicago was miner league to N.Y. I had family in NY rip off Casinos in Vegas. Chicago sent guys to N.Y. on this matter then ran out of town so fast. They would have to deal with all 5 families they were out gunned.
In fairness to Carlo people throughout history have married their cousins in many cultures. The royal families of Europe, ancient Egypt, ancient and modern India marry second cousins I think but it’s specific ones that won’t cause birth defects, and Muslims marry cousins. In countries across Europe, specifically England there is a serious rise in birth defects in the Muslim immigrant community because of inter family marriages. Look it up.
really we don't know if carlos gambino did any of this stuff he was never caught or prosecuted for anything and never caught with nothing.... does he even have a criminal record ijs
First of all the Sicilian misfits is still very much in existence in Sicily, but they were never known as the “Italian mafia”, they were known as La Cosa Nostra. And they were never the most powerful or even oldest mafia in Italy. Both those honours have always gone to the Calabrians. Known as Ndrangheta. They were formed first, were the ones who invented Italian style organised crime, and were always more powerful and successful. After them the Sicilians often tied in strength with the Camorra, the Neapolitan and Campania Mafia. Which are also older than La Cosa Nostra, and in fact controlled the Italian organised crime in America first. So, don’t confuse the Sicilian’s with the other entities. They aren’t the same.
Violent crime like robbery and murder, I can't condone it all. But when it comes to gambling, prostitution, drug dealing. A lot of people have to make a decision that this is what they want to do before anything happens. Victimless in my opinion. You go to gamble, you go to find a prostitute, you seek out drugs. You make a decision these are the things you want and you look for them, they're just providing the service
I think this video was very entertaining but very misleading. Gambino was a small fry during the birth of the American Mafia 1931. He wasn't 1/25 as powerful as Lucky Luciano during that time, I never seen any evidence that they knew each other. He wasn't one-twentieth as powerful as, Genovese, Lucchese, Bonanno, I can go on and on and on. Anastasia had to go, he got friendly with Genevieve's and especially Lucchese , he was given the Anastasia family on an interim basis. And then he showed his true Brilliance as one of the greatest Mafia bosses in history but only after Genevieve's went to prison and Lucchesi died.he was, brilliant and the most feared and respected man for about 15 years until he died but he was not a big player back in the early days but very entertaining video enjoyed it
You butchered the story but the point was made about The Gambino family " I would suggest you research the Chicago Outfit" The Big Tuna also lived a long life...
You dont know anything about the Mafia by making this episode, your blended decades into one family and by saying that the family is no more, and not knowing how close other families were doing the same.
It was either a prison guard or a fellow inmate who relayed that story once, and it's just gone on to be used as an example by people when talking about his gambling problem

In countries across Europe, specifically England there is a serious rise in birth defects in the Muslim immigrant community because of inter family marriages. Look it up.
😂😂😂....🇮🇹♥️ much respect.

Sammy "the rat' got 5yrs !!! Who knows if that was the truth. Remember a snake sheds it's skin only to become a bigger snake. God Bless 🙏.
He wasn’t actually as brutal as you tried to portrait him.
One mistake in a criminal organization and the chances of death or life in jail increases 🤔
First of all the Sicilian misfits is still very much in existence in Sicily, but they were never known as the “Italian mafia”, they were known as La Cosa Nostra. And they were never the most powerful or even oldest mafia in Italy. Both those honours have always gone to the Calabrians. Known as Ndrangheta. They were formed first, were the ones who invented Italian style organised crime, and were always more powerful and successful. After them the Sicilians often tied in strength with the Camorra, the Neapolitan and Campania Mafia. Which are also older than La Cosa Nostra, and in fact controlled the Italian organised crime in America first. So, don’t confuse the Sicilian’s with the other entities. They aren’t the same.
I can't believe alot of these guys married family members that's sick.
Violent crime like robbery and murder, I can't condone it all. But when it comes to gambling, prostitution, drug dealing. A lot of people have to make a decision that this is what they want to do before anything happens. Victimless in my opinion. You go to gamble, you go to find a prostitute, you seek out drugs. You make a decision these are the things you want and you look for them, they're just providing the service
a lot of robbery and murder happens because of drugs
@@PrankCallFan845 yes and that's because of a whole range of reasons... Drugs are a symptom of a deeper issue mentally.
@@PappyMason0324 So are robbery and murder most times
This is just chock full of mistakes. Click bait!
Wow finally your gunna do something on my uncle demao let see if you get it right lmao
And then John gotti stole the family and destroyed and treated it like a stolen car
There's so much wrong with this factually. When the hell did "The New York Mafia become The Gambino Family"? Source pls 😂
How do they know no one laid a hand on him heart attack ? Looked like heart attack
I think this video was very entertaining but very misleading. Gambino was a small fry during the birth of the American Mafia 1931. He wasn't 1/25 as powerful as Lucky Luciano during that time, I never seen any evidence that they knew each other. He wasn't one-twentieth as powerful as, Genovese, Lucchese, Bonanno, I can go on and on and on. Anastasia had to go, he got friendly with Genevieve's and especially Lucchese , he was given the Anastasia family on an interim basis. And then he showed his true Brilliance as one of the greatest Mafia bosses in history but only after Genevieve's went to prison and Lucchesi died.he was, brilliant and the most feared and respected man for about 15 years until he died but he was not a big player back in the early days but very entertaining video enjoyed it

Bro made this video and REALLY decided not to learn how to say a SINGLE name correctly
Be wary of the old man who is in a profession where men often die young..
Well now they’re enjoying the big fire 🔥 in hell
The cover ? Got NOTHING to do with the vid ???
You butchered the story but the point was made about The Gambino family " I would suggest you research the Chicago Outfit" The Big Tuna also lived a long life...
He was an elusive character and very deliberately so 😂😂😂durrrr doesn't take a detective to figure out why does it 😂😂😂
Gambino was never Luciano right hand man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
tony soprano didn't work for the Gambino's, get your facts right.
Gotti was going to put everything on Sammy.
And Sammy wasn't having that.
That's why Sammy did what he did
What about the OTHER 70 GUYS HE RATTED ON? Were they all planning to kill him too?
You putz.
that is the dumbest fucking thing i ever heard, if you believe that i got a bridge to sell you
Tons of misinformation in this
You dont know anything about the Mafia by making this episode, your blended decades into one family and by saying that the family is no more, and not knowing how close other families were doing the same.
The pic is of 2 guys from another family lol...n the genovese is just as powerful with the chin
They were not as feared as The Genovese Family .
Wow I thought making kids with relatives was like late 20th and early 21st century kind of thing, but nah it goes all the way back to 1930's lol
There nothing but cowards ,that's why they had to run away from Benito Mussolini, coz they didn't have the guts to stand up to him
In the end, they killed, poor, greedy, waterhead.....
He bacame an enforce at 8 years old. What could he possibly enforce? Are you sure athat you are getting your facts right?
This is just taking Godfather II and an A&E documentary and monetizing it.
GAMBINO was the LAST great boss!
Is there any evidence of said " cockroach " betting by mr. Gotti.?
It was either a prison guard or a fellow inmate who relayed that story once, and it's just gone on to be used as an example by people when talking about his gambling problem
Marrying your blood relatives, what did he think he was the Habsburg Dynasty?
Cattle bootleging real?😊
