because the fbi protects him

The FBI is with that rat bastard at all times

@@slyonme There was a 4 man hit squad after him when he moved to Texas from New York, one of the guys was his old friend (affiliated). He confronted him 1v1 outside his warehouse business in Texas and spoke to him, after he knew and saw him in the area trying to whack him. The fbi was not protecting him in that situation, and the men after him witnessed his family in the area, which is why he confronted them. He told a local hispanic drug dealer in the area that he "saw nothing" when the dope dealer was shooting at a robber-buyer days before, and gave the dealer his real name (afraid of nothing. Nobody was protecting him in the area at the time. You have no idea what you are talking about. This guy was granted immunity, and he consistently admits to murders he was never charged for, and ones he was charged for but not convicted. He has nothing to hide, and lived a wild-life, and was given a pass by the government to tell his entire story unfiltered. There's probably only a few thousand people like this who exist in the world. He happens to be alive to tell the story. Get your facts straight... if you think he is lying about everything, you're delusional... his track record/s prove it.

Try the Valuetainment interview. Wayyyy better

Funny you say that, I left YT on overnight and just woke up to this ending - his sweet stories must've been incredibly soothing cus I've never slept better lol Will have to actually listen later

He has his own podcast you would probably enjoy then!

@@tracysmith3298 yeah I know. I've seen every episode of Our Thing and I've seen all of his short stories. My favorite episode of Our Thing is the Johnny Keys hit. Sammy has a way of telling a story. As soon as he starts talking he has your attention from start to finish.

Me too I'm sitting had a date and didn't realize the time

Don't glorify murdering dozens of people and after he got off, him and his son brought tons of drugs(extacy) into Arizona, he's trash as good as trash gets he needs to be in a dumpster himself one day 🖕

When you're in that kind of life you've got to have a good memory and remember every single little detail about everything you do cause one little slip up in what he says could get have got him killed

He’s a articulate snitch

He a fed that’s why he know😂

That entire question is from Samny Gravano’s book😂 He tells the story in the book and he’s told it on KZfaq. He just forgot.

You never stop learning in life unless you choose to. The world is always shifting and changing. As long as you keep paying attention you'll be there for it all.

He’s from New York. That kinda comes with it

That's what a stent in prison does to you, you'll pick up other dialects just from being around different types of people. And like you said it's definitely badass to hear him speak like this.

He’s from New York You gotta understand New York has always been timeless and ahead of the rest of the country Look up twilight zone the show It was first released in 1958 but the themes of the show are insanely progressive you wouldn’t even believe it came out when it did New York has been spearheading plays and art and acting movies photography etc

He got out of prison in 2017 so his life basically started 5 years ago lol

He’s def infamous for telling stories🫢

You've got a man crush.

So true! I could listen to Sammy tell stories all day

You have that right I have hard these stories time and time again and still can’t skip past it

100%. I’ve heard him tell them all multiple times and I still listen. Haha. He is very good story teller. I’m sure little things are exaggerated here and there but nobody can deny who he was in the life. He was one of the absolute most feared guys and made a shit ton of money. It’s fact. Not up for debate.

He’s a🐀🐀🐀🐀

He's a murderer. You people idolize anybody.

Thats when you know someones good at telling a story, When you gripped to it and 20mins feels like 20secs and the interviewer doesn't interrupt cause he's gripped to the story as well 🤣and what you have to remember is this story is 30+ years ago so don't interrupt cause he may forget lol when someone interrupts me I forget what I was talking about after talking to someone else for 1min and I was telling a story that happened 2 weeks ago ........ so don't interrupt lol!!!

True criminal

Yeah, he talks pretty good, this guy. Specially for somebody who gots “The Lexic.”

My guess is at least 5-10 grand.

@@Spineburger my guess is more

Actually at 2:11:55 he makes a joke saying he could tell the story if Vlad gives him another "f..." he starts to say what i think is $5000 and then stops himself

Better know it

Dude is a legend

He's traumatized? About what....? Sure he regrets about things he did in the Mafia (and after) but that's all.

Check out bro’s eyebrows

@@adamj6645 "About what?" Maybe all the people who he knew personally, respected, and brutally murdered? He even says that he imagines images of a man he killed whenever he tells the story, and had to stop.

He has plenty of reasons to lie still are you fucking dense? So people after jail just don’t lie anymore? Lol the reasoning makes no sense. He’s a convicted killer and a admitted rat and you think he wouldn’t lie about anything still lol

Have you listened to the Nicholas Irving one? Just as awesome. And they talk about Sammy for a sec as well

@@teelrwson3185 no but I would love to..I've seen him on demolition ranch a couple times but never got to hear his full story. I'm actually going to look for it now.

My guy, he has a podcast called “Our Thing” where he breaks down his entire life. It’s incredible

Read his book, Underboss. I bought that book the first day it came out, I was probably 25 back then. I read it from cover to cover and still have it.

Yeah, you aren’t the only one. People love stories about violence and death until it happens to them. This man is a lot of things. Articulate, interesting, charismatic, and he’s also a serial killer.

Cvvvc

@@hankwilliams2569 for interview purposes and for vlad TV, it brings in the views to play that. Also in most successful killers deceptions. But it serves well to tell the story, because he cant lie on Vlad TV! If you know any killers, a false sense of vulnerability is how victims are pulled in. but he's old now, so all he has left is the honesty. The "accidental" or Just plain "emotional" killers are the ones that dont have those traits as a cover. So there is everything to use that as a display. But at 75 or around that age, that's all most old folks who lived that life have left

"Pure honesty" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this dude would play you like a fiddle

@@hankwilliams2569 at the SAME z

That s something about his interviewing eptitued that i enjoy !!! Different Strokes

Sorry, just stumbled across this interview, it's phenomenal. But I absolutely was thinking the same thing about the "okay" at the end of a story. It's like this dude tells the most gruesome, emotionally charged, poignant story, pause...."okay"...next question😂 I'm like, damn you don't have anything to say after what he just told you other than okay😂😂

Respect for turning against cosa nostra and violating omertà??? Shutup

respect a murder who talk like the fault off what he did was on anorher peoplw

@@p.p8805 it makes sense. Those guys were from another century. They lived by a completely different set of rules and laws that they had to abide by under the threat of death. Its simple math. You cant turn down an order to wack someone. If you turn it down then youre automatically sentenced to death period. His choice was to leave the state and never come back, join wit sec, or refuse an order and die. Regardless if he turned down the order, that guy would die either way.

wtf? respect a killer, drug dealer? That's bizarre. What about the parents raising an autistic child, who rarely get a day off. What about the nurses and doctors who work often understaffed and overworked in our hospitals. or the police and firemen? These people don't have a platform, or a 'name', this is what's wrong in the world where we sensationalize criminals who have done nothing but bring terror to the community they live in, all for greed and ego. It's backwards.

He made history as a career criminal and Department of Justice informant. He formed his theories by relationships formed from pre-adolescence. Supper max prison nearly broke him. Tough guy who learned everything is controlled in one way or another. He will always figure out a way to make money. Has a considerable following due to his notoriety and intellect. Accepts the hard truths of living life as a member of a notorious crime family.

@@padraig5335 DONT DO THE CRIME IF YOU CANT DO THE TIME. People dont have to be able to walk in Sammys shoes to call him a rat. A guy who lives honest his whole life can despise tell tales, informers and rats (they exist outside crime too, ya know). And that guy can call Sammy a rat, which he is, he did crimes for years and saved himself when he was like oh shit im afraid to go to jail for life. So he should have done something more minor, sumthin that if he was to get caught he wouldnt need to rat. He overestimated his own toughness and he was stupid enough to do it again and bring his family down with him. Very few man have betrayed two families, Sammy can boast that achievement. He betrayed his blood pact family and he betrayed his blood family. But in his head he didnt really rat, applies to ALL rats, they reason their treason with any self deception is best suited for their agenda.

Paid his dues?

Snitches like him should be flayed . 13 murders he got away by Snitching on the his mob " family " .

You’re just knew here . His story on his first Murder changed . Joe colucci. When he told the story back in the 90s Joe never wanted to kill Sammy but Sammy added that to his story to justify killing his innocent friend. He admits later he was tricked . Now it’s a new story

@@Kevin-ii7gy you are absolutely right about that. And I honestly wasn't really thinking in that direction when I posted this. So firstly I stand corrected. That said, I was talking more about the Gotti tapes and the "Chess game" that Gotti and he were playing (which he ultimately cheated to win, but make no mistake, he did win if graded on a scale of self preservation over pride) more times than not lately, I have honestly found myself trying to like Sammy and or at least try to "forgive him on a curb" by playing devil's advocate with his "reasons" but it pretty much always ends there because of my moral compass. I do however believe his other stories are truthful. Very possibly told in a way to favor himself and his agenda but truthful and consistent over 30 years. Lastly... I think you were going for "your just NEW here." (not knew here) PS... I'm pretty sure that your going to edit that right now... but you and know what's going on 😉

You're simply incorrect. If you read his book from the 1990s or watch the Diane Sawyer interview you will notice that things have changed and all of them changed to make Sammy look better

Lol vlad said the drug trafficker offered him 40k to rent the disco and Sammy said “that’s some good information you got… who did you talk to?” And I was like dude Sammy told this exact story on his own channel lol vlad didn’t have to talk to anyone to get that info haha
