Just today i saw a photo of Big Paul's 17 room "White House" on twitter. Hey, it's a great life for a short time, until he got whacked. And if he was killed he was gonna for sure do 135 years in prison in the commission trial. A great job. But the retirement plan sucks

@@davidprice7162 Big Paul is no example at all... he was a bad leader with good intentions. Now mr. Carlo Gambino.... Not a single night in jail, named a family, lived to old age and was respected by the earners and the gangsters.

and no hazard pay

I don’t get how he’s so accepted, and has all these views. He straight ratted on Gotti and the rest of them. His excuse was Gotti was going to rat on him, but was facing life and didn’t rat

@@vladimirputinforUSA "Ratting" doesn't mean much to most people. It's forgotten that all these other guys broke their oaths too, in other ways. Everyone just remembers those who cooperated Additionally, I don't think Gravano claims Gotti was going to rat on him. He never would. He wanted Gravano to take the fall, so that Gotti could remain on the streets as the boss. That's quite a significant violation of their lifestyle, even if it isn't "ratting". Not to mention all the other damage he did

If you listen to a Devonian accent (the English county where the Pilgrim fathers set sail) you'll understand where the American accent comes from.

It's cool, he got a note from his doctor

You can bet if he didn't say it on camera they'd had him on one the tapes saying it in private or what he thought was private lol.

Ya but the mob was fucking over legit business too. Extorting them

Yep they hate compitetion it's ok to screw all the tax payers but not ok for one guy to beat the system our goverment biggest mobsters of them all they don't care about crimes its about power look at Sammy the bulI admitted he killed 19 people got how many years ??cause he made a deal with them

They don't always get it right, he was what the media made him no matter what he did privately.....if u want a conviction , put it out in the media.....

Him, Al Capone and Luciano are easily the most iconic gangsters when it comes to the MOB.

The stereotypes came from Al Capone. There's a voice recording on KZfaq, listen to it

capone was more iconic

Underneath it all, they were mostly low IQ dopes. Nothing at all like the way Michael Corleone was portrayed. According to the feds, the majority of these guys were basically morons. Street smarts mabey. But let's face it, when you choose a life that's pretty much guaranteed to end in death or life in prison, you're not looking at a very intelligent person.

@bla bla bkeh - Are you for real?

Were u 3?

I was a kid and fascinated by it even then.

😊

It’s hurtful

Chin Gigante disagreed enough to car bomb Gotti's underboss in retaliation.

small hands that was his problem

You would be a member of whichever crew got their claws in you . If you like shooting go with the Colombo’s on 13 Ave If you like card games you go with the gambinos on 18 Ave . The other family’s where moreover low key and it was hard to know where they hung out . Good luck. Perhaps you will be a crime boss one day

Genovese would be my preference💯

Maybe the best of his generation, along with Albert Krieger 😉

Remember him being on Geraldo CNBC show during OJ

Salute.

As she waves her huge "man hands" in front of the camera.

Gotti was a total user. He got his button after performing a very messy hit in front of dozens of witnesses while posing as a police officer😂 After that pathetic display he quickly shied away from doing hits. He refused several hits after this one but was allowed to because he filled Neil and Paul’s pockets with drug money. He used Ruggerio for the drug connection and used associates to distribute the drugs into the neighborhood streets. Gotti simply put his hand out and collected. He used Sammy to get him out of jail several times and to do the hits that he was clearly incapable of performing. Gotti would not of been the boss if it were not for Sammy setting up the hit on Paul as it was known that Gotti was afraid of doing jail time and used others to perform all of the operations for him. Gotti stopped doing hits as he had others do that for him, had others deal drugs for him and had others bribe jurors for him. It’s why he desperately wanted to be the boss like Castelano and not lift a finger but rake in all the money. He simply was a selfish user that got rackets and a no show job handed to him early on when he had some balls to go with his half a brain.

Or a Sammy fan

Castellano's sons are also rich business owners who never spent a day of their lives in prison. Ultimately it was the so-called white collar faction of the family that had the last laugh.

Because they evolved unlike their brute counterparts

Where everybody was white who's now someone of color.

Not really. This was a bad time for the mob.

@@MOBFAX fair enough. I've done a fair amount of reading up on the mafia, but I'm very far from knowing intricate details, so I guess my ignorance shows here. 👍🏾 Also yeah, I should have thought before I spoke - this video mentions the sentencing of Persico and Salerno to 100 years each.

@@bazil83 No worries. It’s just an opinion.

@@bazil83 It wasn't a good time, considering this was when law enforcement really started doing its job. But it was the worst for the Gambinos, because of all this. In the time between 1980 and when Gotti went to prison, I think they went from being the largest and most successful family to an absolute mess. The Bonannos did have a good time here though, considering they missed out on the Commission Trial heat and associated indictments. Donnie Brasco was actually an easy hit to take compared to what was coming next for everyone else

Gotti played massive role in decimating the mafia in NY, mob fans should remember that before worshiping him

@@shaneodwyer6132 What massive roled he played ? The families were already decimated at the comission trials at 1985. Gotti never rolled, cooperated or testified against anyone. He took secrets of LCN to the grave. He was a stand up guy, last of his kind. True he made mistake talking about past crimes and got caught on tape but that would not been enough evidence to indict no one...................that why the REAL and worst criminals made a deal with Gravano.

@@pedrochimp5155 Testify against who? He was running it all, he's the one they wanted to prosecute.

In all reality it was Don Carlo that brought down the family by making Paul the boss!

After Carlo did that... The Genovese Family made a series of power plays in Philly, Atlantic City, & w/the DeCavalcantes to become #1. No doubt about it. The Chin, Fat Tony Salerno, & Frank 'Funzi' Tieri were some serious-assed guys!

@@matthewrider5906 Totally agreed, the Genovese Family were in a class by themselves !

@@bobcosmic I consider myself an amateur Cosa Nostra buff, & they really don't call em the 'Ivy League of the Mafia' for nothin'. They were feared, the Genovese Family! Gotti, in all his $2000 Italian suits, the hand-painted ties, the perfectly quaffed hair, feared a man in a tattered bathrobe who most folks really believed was a lil crazy! That bothered Gotti. But the Chin's a stone cold killer, no doubt about it. And in Sammy Gravano's own words, "you had to be a serious guy to be around Chin." This lets me know that Fat Tony & Funzi were heavyweights & killers, too. The Genovese Family really did run things, now that it's all out there.

@@matthewrider5906 Remember that the Genovese family is the legacy of the Luciano Costello relationship. I think that says it all !

I remember watching a mob documentary that featured Paul Coffey back in the 90s. There's a part where he says; "These guys are all basically morons" (Referring to Gotti and the mafia in general) I tend to agree.😄

@@gingerpeachy3044 lol

Agreed. Without informants giving the government the location where Gotti went to talk privately , there wouldn’t be any tapes. If the government wants you, it’s just a matter of time before they get you. The FBI has all the time, money and manpower on their side. Informants and cooperators are the icing on the cake.

Well, it's actually true that the attention got him, the reality is just a bit more nuanced than "fame". He publicly embarrassed the government by being acquitted so many times due to fixed trials, and was basically thumbing his nose at them like he was untouchable. This made them want him really badly, more than any other gangster. They may not have found out about the opportunity to bug the apartment if they weren't so dedicated to getting him.

@@liambeamer1883 what was Gotti supposed to do???? Plead guilty and quietly go off to die in prison. If you beat the federal government in court , not once but multiple times, your name can be JoeBlow Nobody and the govt is going after you until they get the results they want.

@@southie3177 gangsters have been walking free on fixed verdicts forever. It was his attitude that made them want him so badly. All other bosses, at least from older generations, would have taken the not guilty verdict and gone quiet, which is how you're expected or supposed to act in that life. They'll still come after you, you're still the boss, but you're no more a target than any other boss. He made himself and the family the primary target for about 3-4 years

@@liambeamer1883 people are blaming Gotti for being hounded by the media. He didn’t have a press team or a publicist. It’s NYC tabloid journalism and the mob has always been front page news. They’ve been hounding gangsters since Luciano was boss.

@@gavinbrando8255 No he was not he was underboss and many acting boss but he was not ever the actual boss of the family.
