Richie Aprile gave him that jacket 😂

Raimondi is the Steven Segal of the mob genre

This is the first guy to be arrested for impersonating a criminal.

Gotta love Raimondi, he doubled down on the bullshit

I never seen someone want to prove he’s a criminal so bad in my life!

Sniper, Mob Enforcer, Killed the Pope, Vietnam at age 16, killed 300 people, Fires destroyed records ?? Where do these people come from ??

When you went in the Marines in the Vietnam era, you went to Paris Island under a gunny Sargent, not a captain. Officers did not push boots. Officers did not follow recruits into the jungle. Boot Marines were sent to units under officers. This story does not pass the smell test.

Anyone who has been in the Military as I was, Does not say that they believe they was in the 3/7. You do NOT guess at what unit you were in. It becomes a part of your mind.

When the Boogeyman goes to bed at night he checks his closet for Anthony Raimondi

This ~Fugazzi~ drove a school bus for 30 years in Queens......we tormented him about his pinky rings and toupee..!

Dog tags with his prison number on them 😂😂😂

I'm from NY and know exactly who this guy is as I did business with him. He never worked for the mob. Raimondi owned a cigar shop on Coney Island, and that was his only work/source of income. The stories of the mob, his criminal prosecutions etc are all fabricated. Cinemills needs to get him back when Lee Cole can appear

Everyone get a dd214 that states what branch you were in, all Your training, rank at discharge, where you were stationed, and date of discharge. Even Navy seals attached to dev group and army soldier attached to the unit(delta) get a dd214.

I did over 20 yrs & everyone that has worked for or spent time in the military WILL have a DD-214!! No DD-214 No service!! It's simple really.

Gotta give Anthony credit. He showed up

The interviewer is so polite towards Anthony . Love the guy

As an actual Marine Corps veteran, I can definitely say this guy was never in the Marine Corps. The rest of what he's claiming I have no idea about. But I can definitely say he's not a Marine veteran.

I would pay real money for a conversation between Anthony and Don Shipley. "Can you tell me what year you joined the military Anthony?" 😂😂😂😂

Raimondi is lying about his military service. Anyone and everyone who serves our military for at least 90 consecutive days is eligible to request his or her DD-214. Everyone, regardless of specialized classified or non classified units. As Master Chief Don Shipley has stated over and over regarding SEAL claims regardless of missions, if you are/were a SEAL, he has access to all BUDS Training attendees. If you aren't in a class, you're lying about being a SEAL.

Raimondi is a national treasure

Back in the 80s I used to run numbers for Georgie Ungotsongul and the Scumbaggio Brothers, this guy was the real deal.

Today so many people are in fantasy land, this maked sense. Lol

Lee hasn’t emerged as anything but a conman, mobologist? Historian? No way man, def not that 😆

Personally I don't believe him, but I'll give him credit for showing up prepared to defend himself.

If you found a tunnel in Vietnam or Cambodia or wherever and you fired a rocket in the hole, how are you giving yourself credit for 5,6, or 7 kills? Did you dig the tunnel back out and count bodies? You're full of crap dude.

The whole point of nick names is to distinguish people who have the same name, there's no way that 2 cousins named Salvatore Granello would both have the nick name Sally Burns, it would never happen.

This is the best Saturday night live skit I have ever seen

Let me tell ya something, Raimundi's record got expunged after living in the jungle for five years, being dispatched on the ground doing work behind enemy lines averaging a hit every six days or so. He was welcomed back into polite society with open arms. Took him another four years to get made: more work to be done. His dad chose not to be made and had at least 40 hits under his belt among which Anastasia and Joe Gallo. All the made guys called him 'don' because he always got the job done.

I personally believe him on the main facts..alot of illegal war crimes where committed in Vietnam..he isn't the first narm vet I've heard of claiming he has no military record as it's sealed due to operations in Vietnam (war crimes the us government are covering up)2.i believe he was a low/medium level mob guy who never flipped or was arrest or became a big name in the media,people forgot mobsters are meant to be underground so it would make sense nobody had heard of this man,only mobsters we all know about either got whacked,went to jail for 100 years orr ratted everyone out. Hench the reason they became public figures

Tony, thank you for this video. I grew up in NY in the 70's and it scary times. I kept away from all the violence if I could. I wanted to live a longer life. When I listen to these videos it not only scares the crap out of me, but I have a lot of respect for what you went through. I believe you and what you are saying. you know the truth, and that is all that matter. Take care of yourself man. I think if I ever needed someone to have my back you would be it. Thank you.

Raimundi was the one who put the horse head in Waltz’s bed for the Godfather. He also was the one that did the logistics for the Tessio hit.

Holy shit, the cigar is LIT?! That is the biggest surprise of the whole video lol.

It’s just funny. Not one true gangster ever heard of him. Not one photograph of him with anyone. He says all the guys now are to young. That’s why they never heard of him. But these same young guys heard of. Gotti. Gaspipe. Ruggiero. Lucky. Capone. And there is a lot more. This guy has to tell his story. lol. It’s an embarrassment that he has to bring papers to prove it.

"If you see leaves moving, there's probably somebody ova thea." - US Army Sniper

He’s a legend in his own mind!

On March 29, 1973, the last American combat soldier, Master Sgt. Max Beilke, left Vietnam, completing the American military withdrawal. President Richard Nixon had announced on January 23, 1973 that the United States and North Vietnam had signed an agreement to end the war. If this guy was born in 1953 he would be 20 when the last soldier left. Why hasn't anyone asked him when he arrived in Nam??? So they are going to send a sniper to Nam when the war is winding down???

This guy's funny. 😆 I personally don't believe a damn thing he says but that's me. I have seen him controdic himself a lot in other interviews.

Raymondi was part of a special team in nam with a big black guy who wore hair in Mohawk and wore a lot of gold chains and crazy guy nickname murdoc . And this old guy who loves cigars name Hannibal

Anthony Raimondi is The Real Deal. Brooklyn Guy. Sicilian. Vietnam veteran. I salute You Mr. Raimondi.👍👍

I love this guy, very entertaining. As far as his service goes. Total BS. I'm a Marine veteran. Anyone that served knows he didn't. But still find him funny. He's harmless.

This guy reminds me of the local drunk that pisses himself at the Chinese bar! 😂

He showed up, the other guy didn't. Has he exaggerated? I believe so. Anthony is interesting as hell. I treated Veterans at The VA in Phoenix for mental illness and PTSD. There are a lot of stories from Vietnam and Korea that you wouldn't believe. Particularly with snipers. Some were discharged and hired back as " civilian contractors ". Sent to various hot spots. They all can't be lying.

My thing is this Anthony ramundi showed up this other guy did not are you serious he literally flew across the country and you didn't show up He had all kinds of health problems hes the real deal

Don Shipley has access to military records.

Raimondi showed up, the other guy didn't. Nuff said. Raimondi is legit. Case closed.

Just asked Michael Franzese if he knows Raimondi, if he is a Colombo guy Michael will know. Raimondi is my favorite fake gangster.

Start asking specific question related to being a sniper. He wouldnt know off the top of his head certain things like wind call values ramge estimates. It wouldn't be hard to see if he knows what he's spitting out. Asking weapon specifics, caliber, max ranges and stuff like that. He should remember every detail about his rifle if he was a sniper

Just to run through a few things. In the US in 1969, murder one was murder one whether you were 16 or 116, in some states even at 16, it carried the death penalty. Tony Cigars claims if you murder someone aged 16 in NY state you get seven years in some kind of special deal which no one has ever heard of. That's a slight fracturing of the truth because it carried a 30 year mandatory and it carried a death sentence until 1965 when legislation was changed to only execute those who murdered police officers. Tony doesn't tell you this. Most of the paperwork Tony produces are for minor felonies. Nothing is for aggravated assault, carrying unregistered firearms, robbery etc. All convicted fellons in organised crime have a criminal record six inches thick before they digitized the records bureah. A six inch thick file of criminal activity of the worst kind from an early age including common assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, theft (especially hijacking), autotheft and other motoring offences, common burglary, extortion, bootlegging, racketeering, firearms felonies and a whole lot more including homocide. They rarely spend most of their life out of jail, most spend 30 to 50 years in jail out of an average 80 year life with no exceptions apart from informants. Tony produces a few felonies which quite frankly are not the work of a Capo but maybe a very minor associate and that's why he's on the list he produced. The mafia have thousands of minor associates and Tony is one of them. Tony knows all the names of all the organised crime leading figures but unfortunately none of them know him and his family links to the major NY crime families are tenuous, statements such as 'my mothers 4th cousin was married to Lucky's 3rd cousin' etc etc and none of it can be verified. He's good at name dropping. He knows the area, knows 'of' the crime families but doesn't actually belong to them. Michael Franzese for example, an FBI verified informant who ran a multi million dollar fuel station extortion racket in NY and NJ on behalf of the Colombo crime family has never heard of Tony cigars. I'll bet Sammy the Bull hasn't heard of him either who was Gambino. What we have here is a minor felon pretending to be a John Gotti type character. It was interesting that Tony Cigars said that the Colombo crime family were involved in the Lufthansa heist. It is well known both in law inforcement and within organised crime that the Lucchese crime family were entirely responsible. The people Jimmy Burke had murdered were all Lucchese crime family members or known associates. That's in the public record, no Colombo family members or associates were murdered. If Tony Cigars was on that heist he'd be sleeping with the fishes because Jimmy killed everyone that was involved on orders from Paul Vario. That was so Jimmy and Paul could take their share, just greed.

If Lee Showed up? He'd be able to defend himself...Stop kissing Lee"s ASS...Lee blew his opportunity

"We don't get a DD214 as a sniper because we did covert missions over there." Yeah, and I've got beach front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

Best guest ever on KZfaq, I have no reason to not believe Anthony, he's the real deal.

Oops! The Freedom of information Act fucked his military tall tales up!

In other words any bullshit artist could be on this show. If that's the case I got some hum dingers I want to tell this guy. BUT,,,, I must say that Anthony has the coolest stories. He has a great imagination. He truly does.

Anybody that doubts the word of Anthony is way off base. I worked with him in Coney Island in the carnival business. I had to kick up two plushies a week

Supposedly Anthony's military record was expunged due to the fact most of his service took place in Cambodia, a country the US was not officially at war with, meaning the government would have tried to cover up these illegal war activities at all costs. Anthony was never supposed to come home to tell his story!

I love it.. he always shows up, and he's got quick answers to every question...never stumbles 🤣🤣 legend..

If Tony soprano and Rosie O'Donnell had a child...

I love this guy. Totally legit. If you ask him, 'The Dirty Dozen' was based on him and his 100y,150y, lifer's. He was dumped in Vietnam by the kindness of the u.s Marine Corps without any training,except for sniping, or experience of even how to use the f.a kit. 😂You doubters, you can't make this shit up. I'm struggling to maintain a straight face while typing it up. 😂

Lee Cole shouldn't even be on Anthony's right he's a coward he rode on Danny Torino left because Lee is a lawyer himself he's never been in the streets so I don't think he has any right to say his man's not true

Straight out of Central casting He made me laugh listening to him You gotta give it to him doubled down on his vlad TV bullshit

A wise man once said "Never trust a man with a dyed mustache" 😂 and an ever wiser man said "Never believe a word Anthony Raimondi says" 👍 😂

This has got to be a character his lies are outlandish 😂

This guy was with the Colombos. Surely michael Franzese can validate him

Quit bleeping it out man. That’s my uncle bro what are you doing? Do not silence him bro. We are all big boys.

He always wears sunglasses so you can’t see his eyes

My uncle raimondi is the truth. He is blood and I know a couple made guys who have vouched for him. He is retired. He earned that right. Let him know I am trying to get his health care provider some grant money. I want him healthy. He is loved.

Charles Nassor 5d ago (edited) This guy is totally legit I know I served with him in the Space Rangers!!! I first met him on the planet Mars where we served additional training I remember that day because we were both issued brand new ray guns..Wham-O supplied most of our gear.. we were also issued Slinkees and Yo-Yoes. However my favorite weapon was a peashooter and a can of fart spray. When we were in ferocious Combat with aliens we would take our R&R on the planet Venus and Sniff Glue. We were given super duper triple Infinity top secret clearance. I would tell you about our top-secret missions but unfortunately I'm afraid the cartoon people will assassinate Us !!! Pray for me good people of Earth

I think we're all here for the comment section.

i pulled Raimondis record (FOIA) he attended Coast Guard Scout Sniper school while serving time in the restitution center. Upon completion 3rd Battalion 7th Marines recruited a platoon of convicted felons most serving prison time to insert deep behind enemy lines in Cambodia and Laos. The Marines were told they were now Army Soldiers, but.. The training consisted of lookin for wind, watching trees move and things like that. Raimondi served alongside Carlos Hathcock and Hemingway (Jason Blaha) although Hathcock favored a M2 .50 cal Raimondi mostly used a paperclip cause its silent er. The 300 confirmed kills are listed and most were indeed killed in tunnels wit bazookas. This man is a national treasure and should be shown respect.

I've been following this since Anthony appeared on VladTV. Many of his boasts & claims are ridiculous, but the guy has definitively spent YEARS as a Hang around at the Bar 🍸 listening to OTHERS exploits. He's no dummy & has a photographic memory. I believe there a SOME truth in some of what he says, the rest is embellished...Entertaining aa Hell he is..

I was in the military and I don't remember where you could get your "prison" number stamped on your dog tags.

This guy's so full of shit it's comical. All this guy did was hear stories over the years and personified that onto himself. Sad.

The fact his lies are so elaborate are sad

I just watched the hole show heres what I got from it...my aut married my cousin Jun , married my 5th uncle , lucky grandfather my cousin , married my mom , that makes me 3th cousin to the Irish cousin..hahahaaaaa

If Donald Trump had gone into YouTubing instead of politics.

Does he have a DD214? That’s all he needs to prove his military service. That will show everything he was trained for, what medals he received and what campaigns he was in. Everyone gets one when discharged. It’s bullshit that he says he did covert operations so he didn’t get one. EVERYONE GETS ONE.

He was a made guy in the Ragu family,the prego family put a hit on him for saying sauce instead of gravy the hit was paid by Don chef boyardee.

I am so fascinated by this entire story…..why hasn’t Netflix or Hulu picked this up for a documentary or series?? I believe Anthony is telling the truth, although maybe a few “biggest fish ever” stretches but who cares? Most If his critics never lived the life from what I can tell…..God bless you all!

I loved it when he whipped his dog tags out of his pocket when asked about if they existed, LMFAO

No DD214 NO SERVICE OF ANY BRANCH PERIOD!!

The mafia chart u can look up ,he said he was part of the columbo family ,but his paper work says banono,i looked the same papers up his name is not on the chart,and they did send ppl to vietnam for crimes but he never shot sally burns now he was the 3rd cousin of granello come on 3rd cousin,he prob was a lacky who got coffee cleaned the social club up did little shit,but cone on he helped kill the pope ,kill a major drug dealer in africa,then his dad killed anastasia n joe gallo,his uncle is lucky luciano,one interview he said he was shot up in his chest near his neck hear its a pace maker,then he says the persico war started cause he got shot first,in his leg but he shot him self its public record then he says it wasnt him it was his cousin who shot himself,hes full of shit foreal,like i said he grew up in brooklyn in the 60 70s it was mafia heaven

If you believe that then you still leave milk and cookies for Santa Claus 😂😁

His half cousins uncle's nephew married lucky 5th cousins niece's aunts brother's nephew on his grandfather's uncle's side....making Lee Cole his cousin.

I love when guys say they were snipers! Ask him where a sniper aims on a target. 9 times out of 10 he will give you the wrong answer! Also didn’t use spotters? That man has the most experience on a marksman team! Please stop giving this wannabe the time of day!

This guy should of brought a celeste pizza box in to prove his involvement in the frozen pizza wars

Did anyone do the fact checking on any of these claims? You have to admit, he has a great deal of specific details about a lot of things in his stories on when, where, who, why. It is hard for that reason to know what is true, what is embellished, and what is just false.

my dad was in the army and he said that the dog tags don't look right for that era and any good soldier would of use a leather boot lace or sumin along them lines as you dont want them clanking also where his medals he would of atleast had a couple of basic campaign medals n ribbons i cant stand people who make out they are a 1man fighting machine plus you ask anyone who has been on front line and seen close to close combat you will relive that for rest your life my dad has been retired for long while and he still suffers big time he is riddled with cancer now but he gets so fuckin angry over people that make storys off he couldn't even tell u what company he was in thats sumin you never forget my father held a officers commission with rank of captain he was an Act Major several times he has several medals he dont brag or make out he was a hero he said the boys that didnt come home they were the heros also you do t have colonels wandering around and they wouldn't talk to a random private it dont work like that there is a chain of command well i though i would share that with you guys and see what you lot have say there must be a bloke on hear whos dad or relative fort in Vietnam n could clarify the shape n size for that era

What's crazy is I've searched everywhere and his names comes up with no relationship with the Colombo family. To think it's not easy to get that list a phot shop your name in it would take like 2 seconds! I really hope the narrator isn't being sarcastic and doing it for views. If you believe it, or obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. Also let him know I messaged Don Shipley on the stolen valor!

In sniper school they taught me if there’s no wind and the leaves are moving just shoot because there’s a guy there! LOL

Everybody gets a dd 214 this guy is lying about his service

Guy is a living parody of the Mob

My gawd the calmness with which the interviewer says “ one of the criticisms I recall on the board is that , there’s no way Joe Colombo would’ve given two fucks about you , as a 16 year old kid….. that came up ! “. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lee should did BASIC vetting before he brought his partner Danny Trio onboard

Im sure he was in the Military, but most of the story is not true.

There he is The ITALIAN 🔫 TERMINATOR 🔫. 🤔

Coney Island - Dreams For Sale Watch the trailer to see the colombo hitman

Anthony shows up anywhere ! N ppl stay tryna be corny too him ! He prolly exaggerates a bit but I believe most of his stuff

Sorry guys but everyone serving in the US Military and is discharged, is given a DD214 upon release. Yes some operations are classified, but sniper school is not classified, basic training is not, airborne school is not , Ranger school is not, Q course is not etc. So this guy is a typical wannabe hiding behind the "It's classified flag" I'll bet you he never served and if he did it was probably less than 2 years and most of that was in the brig! JMO

From what I understand, people in the streets of New York City say this guy is not somebody you should be fooling around with. It sounds like after my investigation Anthony is a real deal guy.

I'm laughing so hard. Fkn love this guy.
