And a murder here and there

Only if you listen to rats, lots of success stories but ya never hear about it cause they didn't get pinched and spill their guts, I know Many mob guys who died of old age, and you wouldn't know em

Hot bitches as well. But that only lasts so long, of course. Fear of getting killed or imprisoned curbs that a little.

(Don't forget the cool stabbing-pens!)

U got a lot of catching up to do then

Best comment ever damn 💯💯💯

It is circle isn't it . Back to where it all started And so on and so on. And those who fall out of loop are those who get caught up in golden lights And hype of the ride. Nothing last forever Cuz the same way circle choose one it will choose other when it needs to update itself.

But bad times don’t last forever either, everything’s temporary including life itself. Live in the moment, be here now, and treat everyday as if it’s your last. ☝️🥴

What ? Good times ? They destroyed their own lives that of their families and fucking killed people for what ? Some code honor ? How can a group of people who use threats violence to EXTORTION to take off work labor of others have honor ? What golden age this wasn't a movie it was this man life .I bet he's just thankful for still being around to see his children grow and be free not in prison is dead.

@@ruthsturgeon4979 it was prob good times to them. Also Made men did alot of bad but also alot of good as well. And what dude said is a really nice quote that pretty much everyone can reflect on. I see ur point tho

💯💯

Ok Charleston White

Facts

It was ran on fear...they feared death more than 20 years but when the RICO started bringing 100+ year sentences, they feared prison more than death

@@hmosesmamulu6491 YES, But what also makes RICO so powerful, is that before it was hard to put the boss in jail because he was not on the street doing crimes. The boss was only directing, moving the chess pieces. But now with RICO he can go to jail for 100 years just for being the leader and nothing else.

@@Prone-Ski_BX facts...life of crime is a gamble and the house always wins

Think about this, after 1980 no Mob boss died not in Jail and in their bed/hospital. Before 1980 I can name 6 bosses that died out of jail and in there bed/hospital. Even Meyer Lansky died out of jail.

them young italians ain’t on shit

@@elitefew8537 that is how you know who is Winning. Trust and believe they are.

Their not minorities a hole

It goes for all young men, especially for those with no man figure in their lives, and who grows around poor shit and temptations to do crime. I fknhate how media got people thinkin Black/Brown etc= poor White= rich

These guys have it pretty sweet since their crimes were more organized and they have more information than the average lost youth. Live a lavish life of crime and ride the bitch until the wheels fall off....once they do you sell out everyone you don’t really like and bam, government gives you a whole new life and career. These interviews are setting kids up for a life of crime 😂

*smoke and mirrors*

But they make millions

We aren't talking about brain surgeons or scientists. It's a toss up. Sling pizzas or be a monster. Carlo Gambino died old and rich and powerful. After that nobody was a mobster

@@plasticweapon meet the guy halfway, it’s the internet

But no one is forced into the mob. You take the oath knowing you either end up dead or in prison.

Shout out lil d

Nicky Barnes, frank Lucas, sammy the bull, there's plenty to pick from

Word was it 1800 or 18k either way this the reason why he snitched? That’s crazy everyone in the comments talking about this a great interview smh

@@044alord 1800, which is like even more petty

Well uh, yeah. That was the whole point of this video

@the iron way I think, he's speaking on loyalty, and the fact that those guys aren't loyal at all. So why should he be loyal to them?

It wasnt the money it was about the principle. Listen to the interview again

It's just Italians killng eachother over money. It's all a pyramid scheme

Damn you Americans

Much better to be cool with them that actually in it

Live in kc, it's wild mob history here.

Anyone knows that you don’t need to be involved in it . If a person /gang / organisation extorts money off hardworking people , then they have no morals . Only an idiot would trust them . ❤

Right

@DMB Romanticizing something doesn't necessarily mean it has a happy ending. Although in all honesty, Casino did have a relatively happy ending for "Sam Rothstein" (fictional version of Frank Rosenthal), who ended up "back where I started". And the Godfather had an arguably happy ending for Michael Corleone, who wasn't murdered, but died basically of old age, apparently of a heart attack. Sure, he was haunted by the memories of all the dirt he had done, especially killing his brother, but most young people who admire gangsters wouldn't mind such an ending. Goodfellas was DEFINITELY a happy ending for Henry Hill, who went on to be a damn celebrity. In his book he bragged about shopping at the Gucci store and eating at fancy restaurants as an informant for the government, he had lots of interviews, hell even one in a video game magazine where he gave his opinion about various gangster video games. Of course, we don't see all of that in the movie, but his biggest complaint at the end was that he had to eat bad pasta. 😒

@Jonathan Armstrong I know, but that was all self inflicted. He touches on a lot of that in the book.

@DMB married to the mob?

He should've thought about that before joining 😂😂

YES

What an embarrassment this guy is - you choose the life you choose the life- this guy a 🤡

When "Them" is turning there back to you or throwing you under the bus ! That's when you can have your own back!!! That's the only way !!!!!!! .... if not you gotta take the punishment for what you've done , you know damn well the consequences when you joined the life! But if your throwing the kitchen sink at me to save yourself ! Nah you folded first F*** Y** my loyalty is done

@George F for f**kin sake, Not all that enter the life do/did it by choice (per say) children of mobsters are groomed. Some just want the power and glamour. A lot of hypocrisy amongst them. Narcissist for sure

This makes the most sense

Good point

Bro chatting up a storm

Ok....But there still is a Mafia. Period. Just less powerful with surveillance cameras and no political power like the 80s.

@@JustNeedaBeerandPark look in russia before 1991 you could not exchange money or buy sell cloth you would consider to be a criminal and would go to prison if you would be caught and after 1991 you was a business men who were doing operations with money and not a criminal so from mafia/criminal/gangster to business men and respectable men with nice w140 who dont need to run from law

What you do for work if you don't mind me asking

If u need employes let me know lol

The Netflix show on that dirty cop is crazy as hell

What dirty cop

His dad was a high ranking capo in the Gambino family. Of course he sounds genuine. Lol

I look forward to the day when Vlad does documentaries and puts the HipHop artists that nobody heard of, to a smaller part of his platform cause the audience don’t seem to appreciate the jewels Vlad drops. But as long as there is money to be made, I see the move and I respect it

@@thetraveler1182 yeah seriously bro I'm sick of the disrespect to his work ethic it's not right lol people should show a little more respect I mean he IS going out of his way to interview some people we asked for It's alright though its like you said let's put all the bullshit artist in the bullshit section lmao have the real authentic charismatic Types on the forefront you know?

I think the best part of casino is that it accurately portrayed them that way

@Jay Porter exactly look at Larry hoover and Jeff forte and look at the mafia bosses they all got the same result

Government, feds, corporations are worse ! You must be a naive idi0t to not know 😂… talking crap about mob guys yet these “legal” thugs are screwing you hard ! Hypocrite!

@@TheBaBaTV yea man this whole world is crazy ASF and the so called "good guys" ten times worse than the "bad guys" its a crazy place this thing called life

Exactly !!! There was honestly true loyal brothers who killed many for the "family" some of these guys would've literally took a bullet for them..... but in the End the Big Leaders couldn't take there charges ( Time ) instead they started to flip everything on there own guys, guys who killed and destroyed for them lol ....

LOL. "Savagely" LIFE is savage. Nothing gentle about it.

Godfather2. The fat guy in white young Vito shot in a stairwell. Top of the world until somebody decided he shouldn't be.

He wouldn’t , vlad’s loyalty is certified in all 50 states and 7 countries

There is no winning. You sell your soul for temporary things. Then again I believe in heaven and hell.

Pretty much. Bosses showing that their own guys are replaceable because of some arbitrary rules gets the smart people thinking, "Hold up!"

That is maybe one reason, but I think the bigger reason was RICO. Guys simply did not want to die in jail with 150 years sentences.

There is no code. I remember a mafia Capo tuned informant said everyone in his familia broke every rule ever day and twice on Sunday.

Wrong. The RICO laws is what ended the mafia. Guys went from facing 5-7 years to facing hundreds of years... And all that had to be proven was they were involved in organized crime aka conspiracy and racketeering. The cops no longer had to catch these guys doing a crime like murder etc red handed, all they had to do was prove they were conspiring with others to commit illegal activities and BAM they're facing life in prison unless they talked. Michael Franzese explains this pretty well in one of his interviews.

Is it the same for Freemasons too?! I see you have the symbol as profile pic 😂….

Paul's been in the mafia life even in the 1940s. It's just he wasn't all the popular with some members

Alpo even got an Alpo.. Thats why he ratted on Washington DC

Alpo is nobody but a killer big deal

@@thereasonwhy5188 a former killer*

@@sellingwolftickets5025 agreed

I guess that's not going to happen.

Paul Castallano already set the stage for the fall of the Gambinos with his greed. Gotti just accelerated it.

Too much ego

Huh? The guy the Chin handpicked is still the boss of the family… most of the families operates on 3 person panels now where a majority vote is the decision. For the most part they’ve done away with the administration and the underboss, consigliere and boss of are all one vote now. I knew Angelo Prisco from the Genovese family personally for years and years and years. He alluded to it back in the 90’s ! Let alone today. It was too much heat on one person. It also confused the feds because they’d have a panel and a couple of messengers. You’d never know ran what to prove in court you need solid evidence. You can’t walk into a trial with reasonable doubt of who runs what as your defense. It’s smart actually. Not only that, the dirty work is outsourced more often than not with the mafias bottom line now is being about money and money only. Don’t get it fucked up, I’ve seen people get beat damn near to the brink of death right in front of me just recently lol it’s still some tough knee cappers out there who will blow your head off if absolutely necessary! They will much rather hire street gangs and other criminal organizations to do their dirty work now. In 20-30 years the mafia will all but be extinct. A shell of its former self.

More accessible is a life in a gang. But by age 30 the ones not dead are doing life.

It’s not about the gangster life it’s the fact these guy they saw growing up had all the respect now my friend deep down in any of us normal people would ask the question of where do I sign up without the insight of you either leave in cuffs or in a body bag now which one would you choose it’s a tough choice because we all got to die of something but as we get older we are more bitter or wanting to enjoy our freedom more with family by this point the facade has worn out and you’ve got debts to pay a mortgage also kickback if your alive at this point your wishing for a break but if you take a break without contact they assume your not with them but the life they live is very damaging and no one gives a fuck because it’s all shit the talk of family you heard this guys story they said he would handle it but wouldn’t give him the money Pete gotti inherited a cursed family John was bed ridden with cancer his best friend and right hand gravano talked his son talked omertà is a piece of shit to people who just want money the glamour and to then get their retirement plans witness protection I mean now a days nobody gives a fuck about respect and doing favours for folk being a as a wise guy should be influential and powerful obviously not as influential and powerful as the boss but some food for thought my friend

Warn him about what? His main theme is snitching too 🤣

You seem sour or have some kind of agenda against Vlad! People come on here to tell their life stories ! So how is that snitching? I could see if there’s an open case of a criminal investigation and somebody’s he’s telling . Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about

@@sokof6001 -vlad

So why don’t your lover boy 69 come out and say that. Stop lying about somebody wanting to fck or fckd his bm (a woman he didn’t want by the way) funny how everybody who says that excuse never says this. Come out n say I’m a faker who wasn’t about that life. Simple

Never was that's a fact thats cap

literally, said AFTER this interview was released. So maybe there is a new finding within the past 3 weeks that indicates he is one

@@hmosesmamulu6491 he isn't a rat that's lies scarpa was an informant out of that family but persico never told Vlad is lying

@@TheBulletzgottishow20 Scarpa was a rat but you dont know what could have been discovered within the last 4 weeks... If Scarpa could rat, anyone can

Ye he is

Thank you no mafia movie is about glamorizing anything it's a message

@@TheBulletzgottishow20 Exactly! Goodfellas, Casino, Scarface etc. They all end with the main guy either dying, going to jail or living the rest of their life with misery and regret.

@@TheShop90sKids yep mafia movies had message hood movies glamorize street culture and has no messaging too it

@@TheBulletzgottishow20 not true either. Boys n da hood, menace, juice, paid in full. All of them ended with a message about how terrible the gang/drug dealer life is.

@@TheBulletzgottishow20 bro what u sound stupid just say u racist and keep it pushing

Shit everything above probation is snitching for me to be honest.

That’s ur own opinion smh. Lol learn to know how to disrespect

Nahh Vlad been killing it, can't even lie.

Yes God if I see another "rapper" talking about the "screet" I'll hang my self

I honestly don’t know what’s so fascinating about the mafia. It’s no different than black gangs. One group gets vilified and the other is romanticized and glorified.

@@JohnDoe-wo4mm I didn’t think anyone would get offended by this comment…but here we go smh

@@bundy2903 yo first thing that's cold, you have the exact same name as one of my good friends from high school....second yea man that's what it's looking like, I don't think po wants the vlad interview I wish Antwan would hurry up and release something man honestly I been waiting to see a recent interview of po....

alpo the back stabber

@@lltipsy here we go.....man we both know if po was standing in front of you, you wouldn't have shit to say.....the man is out living his best life and you are on youtube wolfin.....

Alpo is a street low level dealer compared to the mafia

Because Gangs and Organized Crime have to sell you the dream of the moral code, the family, loyalty the brotherhood , status etc. That’s how they convince you to do their bidding.

The myth of "honor among thieves" and "street code"

@@chris45627 Thats a pretty realistic dream when that person dies or gets tortured.

There is no governing board. No government backing. The upper echelon criminals deal with billions. There MUST be a code of ethics or there can be no business. In the US cooperation is very prevalent. But go overseas to Italy, Eastern Europe it’s not so common. They follow the rules and that’s why they last.

Obviously you’re making this statement as an civilian, no judgement at all, just saying that’s why you wouldn’t understand lol however, the grown individuals whom decide to partake in illegal activities, at no point or for any reason EVER should rat bc that person as a MAN or FEMALE, knew exactly wtf they were getting themselves into. And as a civilian, you shouldn’t justify these said individuals’ actions, because I guarantee you that their fucking mouths were closed before their freedom was at risk and when they were being compensated 🤷🏾‍♂️

Or extreme bliss while poor people hate 😂

Amen brother

Wtf random

What lord?

Snitching is snitching, and this is why New York no longer have the power, not on a global basis. The power is north of the Border and in Italy (Calabria).
