@chi sam cool stori bro

All the old school guys was quiet ..hush hush.. No stories cause he didn't talk. Once drugs showed up that was it. Quack quack😮😮😮

Not anymore, I’m sold!

I always thought that

Never crossed my mind until now. You're absolutely right

He do. Michael n Sammy barely mentioned him

Agree

Neil was a bitch, he used fear to earn fake respect, Sammy used honor and integrity to earn respect

they were cowards and snitches

Even federal agents.

Every time Neal was mentioned I always picture Anthony Quinn

It was alleged that Anthony Quinn was a wise guy. Anyone care to confirm or deny?

Quinn played a great Neil

That was nypd detective joe coffee who said that.

@@Lupinthe3rd. Thank you yes

@@SK-bk3yh and the second scariest was Carmine Galante if I'm correct

@@Lupinthe3rd. Yes and ralph salerno nypd said "he had the frigid stare of a killer"

Lol

It not so much Sammy its his mob stories , people are into.

It's all in his skill as an excellent storyteller with a vault of incredible memories. Many Thanks

Damn right

Best Comment I have read in long time Super Wise

I wouldn't believe all he says though. He's not doing this for our benefit.

@@justinlecroy3579 maybe but he’s telling it anyway

I find comments like this amazing. I read one on a video of Sammy before saying: “I used to see Sammy on the Ave constantly back in the 80’s”, or something to that effect. I wonder if people know who they were amongst.

@@NOVMBER People that lived there knew who they were.

I am also known to be that kind of man

Wow, lucky you. Did you speak or were you intimidated. I'd speak to Sammy if I met him, that being highly unlikely given that I now reside in Ireland.

Because its real

Only good thing on Netflix is Narcos and El Chapo.

@@bigdc202 breaking bad is still the best show on Netflix I also enjoy better call Saul too it’s so well written

Rewatching them all again myself. Sammy is a great story teller.

I did too. Hes great in this setting.

That one called John is a similar case...he is everybody’s most loyal friend

yeah him and Carlo may have been gangsters, but they were the typical classy old gangsters, they were fascinating... it’s almost sad that they don’t have movies or more stories told about their life that the louder guys like Gotti do.

He absolutely knew them. He was mentored by Albert Anastasia who promoted him to Captain. I believe he served on a few hits with Murder Inc as well. I remember reading that he was made Underboss to calm him down because he swore revenge for Anastasia’s murder.

@@johntaaustin293 not to mention shelving Joe Bonnano and possibly setting up Genovese when he got to big.

He was the major player one of Anastasias top hit guys along with sonny franzase

@@johntaaustin293 Neil used to dress up as a catholic priest to do hits.

Forreal I’ve been waiting. For this and for an Accardo or Giancana story but idk if he had any experience with the outfit or not.

Neil is my favorite mob guy.

I always wonder what it would of been like if Neil was made the underboss..They probably all be on the streets still..

i had actually asked sammy to tell a mr. neil story...........he was the most stone cold old school gangster in the gambino family..................i can only imagine what it would have been like if he had become the boss of the borgata.....................

Yep. Been waiting 👊👍

Well you need to go see somebody. Professionally.

​@notd0ll109 Why is that he Described it Perfectly 👌🏻 💯😂✌🏻

For real it's a addiction

One day you'll be like, I've already heard this a dozen times. Then the next time a video will drop and you be like, meh.

Fooking fools

I know right.. we’ve seen all the documentaries about the mafia, but sammy really does fill in the blanks and gives us a personal prospective on those crazy times. It’s a very rare insight.

@J G treatment?

Ralph Solerno said Dellacroce and Carmine Galante were two men who scared you when they looked at him. I agree with Solerno.

How about Casso?

"His eyes had no color...as if his soul was transparent", is how a news reporter characterized Dellacroce. Joseph Coffey, a former New York mob investigator, reflected: "Dellacroce was one of the scariest individuals I've ever met in my life. Dellacroce's eyes were, like, he didn't have any eyes. Did you ever see Children of the Damned? His eyes were so blue that they weren't even there. It was like looking right through him." Ralph Salerno, a former New York Police Department detective, said of Dellacroce: "When Carlo Gambino died, if I'd been asked to place a ten-dollar wager as to who would be his successor, I would've put the ten dollars on the man who was his under-boss, Aniello Dellacroce, a tough man. Of all the gangsters that I've met personally, and I've met dozens of them in all of my years, there were only two who, when I looked them straight in the eye, I decided I wouldn't want them to be really personally mad at me. Aniello Dellacroce was one and Carmine Galante was the other. They had bad eyes, I mean, they had the eyes of killers. You looked at Dellacroce's eyes and you could see how frightening they were, the frigid glare of a killer."

Luca Brasi was probably the real scariest mob guy that ever lived.

@@jimlofaro5695 Except he never lived😂

Loyal too, disagreed with his boss (Big Paul) but managed to keep mutiny at bay with Gotti and the young guns.

He was A Real street boss. Who Didn't have to be an ordained boss, to be A _the boss._ *Street Respect, goes along way.* Alot Like Genovese. Who the family is named after, as opposed to Luciano or Costello. Who were much officially higher ranking.

@@latestred6510 The names of the families have nothing to do with which boss was most respected on the street or anything like that. With the exception of the Colombo family, they were simply the names given to the families by law enforcement based on the testimony of Joe Valachi in 1963 - whoever was boss during this time got their name on the Marquee so to speak. For whatever reason, these names stuck despite changes in leadership. Case in point: Joe Bonanno basically abandoned his leadership position and went into hiding for two years and was then exiled to Arizona by the commission yet everyone continued to use the name "Bonanno Family" after Rastelli took over.

There is definitely a code that they call as for men of honor, even though the rules and norms are different for those of society at large. It’s a way of keeping everyone in line, making clear the boundaries, and the believers within do hold it sacred. It also lets them weed out those wildcards who think they are too hot to be confined by those codes, and there are many when you’re talking about egomaniacal criminals. I’d take the code of Cosa Nostra over the loose ways of nearly every other organized crime op out there- it was well-thought out, comprehensive, and practical. All to protect the organization, and civilians didn’t have to worry about being targets of initiation. They understood that blood was bad for business, as well.

@@Barefoot433 incredibly well said...

It's a world of honor and power... lies and deceit are punished

bullsht.. all these guys are thieves.. nothin else... cant hack a job.. no honor..

@@seanx2241 Fuck off sean your on the rock and roll ya header .

@@billybigballs3325 Sean is right.

IDK WTF so many people worship Sammy and other mafiosi so much. You respect someone that literally made their living by lying, cheating, stealing, beating, bullying and killing people? Then he rats on 36 people goes into WITSEC, and gets his whole family busted for drugs? The same man that bashed Gotti for involving his family in crime and claiming "I'd never deal in drugs."?

@@justinlecroy3579 It's crazy but people don't really wanna hear it. Cognitive dissonance sets in, and I get it. It's uncomfortable to admit: This man has interesting stories. They are glamorous, and he's lived an incredible life. These stories are fun and interesting to listen to, addictive, even. But he is also everything you mentioned and so much more. He did the most vile things through and through, and now in his old age, he profits off of telling the stories about it. I can't imagine being the family of one of the 20 or so people he killed. Just seeing this guy schmooze it up on YT and profiting off of the wake of destruction he caused even in his old age. There's kind of a moral dilemma at play. I like these stories. I enjoy this content. But I don't agree with or support what he's done, yet by viewing his content, I'm directly responsible for giving money to someone who represents the absolute worst qualities of humanity. If I keep watching, that just means I'm not really any different, am I?

Yep. Specially when he told Gotti to shut up and listen

Yes. Quinn did very well with that role.

Agreed...and Armand Assante was the best Gotti ever.

@@Gestapo93 "best Gotti". I know what you mean, and agree about the performance, but those words look really weird together.

@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid Well I never said he was the best Boss. As your aware Gotti was a Neapolitan and now they have returned to their Sicilian roots. As in real low profile, like under an ant's belly low. Much wiser course.

I was gonna say the same thing. Every story there's at least one deep sigh. Like you say he's probably just dealing with the memories. A lot of this stuff is heavy.

Why do so mamy people say "I love you Sammy."? He's a good storyteller. It's ridiculous that so many people worship him though. People also believe everything he says. Lots of it's BS. He doesn't GAF about any of us either.

No one is worshipping anyone one here, only God almighty gets my worship

@@jameswilson6381 Many people here act like they worship him. I also see people saying "God bless you Sammy." "I'm praying for you etc". yet he got so pissed at Mike for praying for him. Do you think he loves you? Why so much love from people?

Best gotti movie than new gotti

@@CarlosPerez-wd8zo that's the only movie about Gotti that I watch.

Absolutely man. People forget that Sammy is a gangsters gangster. He talks the talk and we all know he walked it. Real true life gangster shit.

Seriously, I can’t even imagine!

Shame he had to go and put away shit loads of mobsters

@@ronaldlymm7248 that only happened because he got betrayed and felt disillusioned. Happened at a time when heaps of mobsters were turning on each other so you can’t really blame him he’s spoken about it extensively

@@kiwidrifter1 so because he felt disillusioned lots of others had to go to prison for it. How do we know he was betrayed anyway it’s all hear say. An what did gigante do to help get put away when he testified chin wasn’t crazy and it was a act.

From what I’ve heard, he was one of the last true Dons of the golden era of the mob. He had strong morals, but was strict in his code.

​@@TheMister626he wouldn't have the bottle

Great point. For a moment you wondered if Sammy would make it out alive. That is how much he draws you into the story.

Man,that was a great point.

@@furbabydaddy5604 Yup. He only paved the way for the downfall of the Gambinos, simultaneously making the Genovese Family the far stronger family to anyone who truly studies American Cosa Nostra!

@@matthewrider5906 Do you think it was simply nepotism that Carlo Gambino chose Paul Castellano to be boss,or do you think maybe he knew DeLacroce was sick,and probably wouldn’t be around long? Gambino always seemed to be pretty level headed to me. Either way it certainly seemed like John Gotti may have eventually took over one way or the other.

@@furbabydaddy5604 True. Very true, regarding Gotti, I mean. But from all accounts I've read, it was nepotism, more than anything. But say Dellacroce was made skipper, then died. Perhaps we'd have seen a Boss Frank DeCicco, had he not been blown to pieces by a bomb meant for Gotti. Who knows! I do think it was one of Gambino's few big mistakes, at least IMO anyway.

@@matthewrider5906 I agree

And you know this how ?

Wonder the doctor who gave Neill his cancer diagnosis was scared. I would be.

Agreed..no interruptions starting from “Hi guys” all the way to “Adios, motherfuckers”!😆

Hope so

Fuck Netflix; there are far better ways for this to get made in to a movie without those douches being a part of making it.

Straight up like a big 4 part series or something

Paulo dingle that would be the best thing for Netflix for real for real

@@sidthekid87able 4 parts is too short. Im talking a 4 season series. Go into detail from soup to nuts as Sammy says.

Not

You are listening to stories from a guy about a life that considers the EXACT thing he did as the biggest violation of its code. Get off Sammy’s nuts. He turned on hundreds of peoples and ruined their lives to save his own.

@@kgmv4798 get off my nuts buddy, humble yourself

Them old timer's always kept a low profile.

After his death Time magazine , reported Delaroche had been been an informant and Delacrocre's protoge Gotti was infuriated that Castellano gave Time as his explanation for not attending the funeral. Is it coincidence that, the Gotti crew was the only one that the FBI had a wire wearing informant in? The FBI were on Gotti from way back before he was a powerful captain. Delacrocre helped Gotti on the surface, but may have been his downfall.

That's a dangerous insinuation about an old timer like Niel. I know guys that been around the hood and did turn out to be no good but they didn't nearly have the rep like Niel. You never know until you get undisputed proof.

Mr Neil was one of my favorite guys..Next to Tony Mirra and Eddy The butcher.

@@seancidy6008 that shit was never proved and was confirmed to be false .

I thought Ralph Salerno was NYPD?

Heard that too and I think it was Ralph Salerno

Michael Franzese feared and respected Chin Gigante in that same fashion.

That was not a good move when Neil's wing of the family felt he was stepped over for boss position. Then Castellano who most people felt got in as boss because of nepotism doesn't even show any respect for him as the underboss to even show up at the funeral. It divided the family even more into factions.

Paul was also looking at heavy indictments at the time, and going to a wake or funeral puts you at risk for the government to charge you with consorting with other known felons.

@@jameszeiss4904 that's exactly why according to All the documentaries I've seen about Paul Costellano

because of the indictments.

Consorting with known felons is fine though unless you are on parole and it states you can't do that.

Carmine fatico taught gotti the street way to talk, in 1972 he move from Manhattan to queens to open begin hunt and fish club in ozon park because he didn't like the new wave of immigrant that started coming to Manhattan

He has a wildness to him but he's also very eloquent and gets his points across pretty well. Not the knuckle dragger we are often led to believe when it comes to people like him. If not for the lives they led, one wonders just what sort of things many could have done.

You’re favorite? This isn’t baseball

There's a really good book (unfortunately I forget the name of it and it's author but I remember it was co-authored) about the history of the Mafia. It's mostly set in Brooklyn around 1919 when the Black Hand and White Hand gangs were at war. I learned about the story of a mobster Vincenzo Gibaldi and how he'd become Al Capone's bodyguard, top assassin and most likely the person who planned and executed the St Valentine's Day Massacre - eventually calling himself "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn. The Irish gang killed his father and he practiced his marksmanship until he was confident enough to take on the leadership of the Irish mob. He began working for Frankie Yale who realised he was out of control for going after the top men, so he gave him to Al Capone. This guy's story could easily be a movie.
