Old mobsters replaced by federal mobsters, same crime syndicate, different players!!

Fun fact about him: Santo trafficante literally translates to Italian as : Holy Trafficker

So interesting I love documentaries about the Mafia they are fascinating

Asking a gangster questions and expecting the truth. Lol how logical

It just seems to easy to say Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter. It doesn’t make sense.

Lee Harvey definitely was not JFK's killer!

How is it I've never heard this story in regards to the Kennedy assassination?? Thank you!

The renditions of this was to say the least, brilliant!!!

I respect Lucky. He was a man of his word. And smart too. The government went to him for help on the docks during the war!!

My best friend dated Al Capon’s grandson Frankie, he was very nice and treated her well. This was in the early 60’s. Too bad he had such a violent Grandfather.

Interesting how the mafia is glorified but gangs are viewed negatively

Nice Documentary.

Highly informative! I've learned so much about history from this channel. The videos are well-researched and presented in an engaging manner.

If you read the detailed memoirs of Frank Ragano who was Santo Trafficante's lawyer, he was present at the meeting of the Bosses when the "hit" was placed on Jack Kennedy, and again afterwards at the celebratory dinner after the assassination. Jack Ruby who worked for both Bosses Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante, was chosen to do the hit on Oswald because he had terminal cancer with a predicted less than 6 months left to live. After the assassination, Robert Kennedy's legal pursuit, attempted arrests and harassment of the Mob abruptly ended. J. Edgar Hoover, who knowingly and willingly accepted free hotel and resort vacations at Mob-owned businesses, as well as free meals at Mob-owned restaurants and was given the names of the winning horses at Mob-owned racetracks ahead of the races, so that he always won his bets, sabotaged any investigations and refused to pursue criminal charges against any of the Mob Bosses, during his tenure as FBI Chief. Trafficante would brag about having Hoover "in his back pocket" because of their ability to blackmail Hoover about his h*m*sexual activities.

Funny that Charlie Luciano tells Al Capone to lay low in his activites but Charlie still was sent to prison and for even longer time, including being exiled from the US.

Love the content on this channel

growing up in Tampa in the 60's and 70's was exciting, it was a wide open town like Dodge City on a Saturday night, 7 days a week. It was one of the bloodiest towns in America during the 30's

We rarely see such documentaries all I can say is thank u

❤ Adele song and how fortunate that thank you for your time works and your welcome 😮

Weird how the mafia kept their word but politicians who are supposed to be the good honest guys went back on theirs. 😂

Valentine day massacre photo. Didn't know you could show that on YT. Half that man's face is missing. 😮 for real 😳

I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Bring more meaningful documentary movies!

"The Maffy Uh"😂

I've only watched the first 5 mins, and the productions is quality is already amazing. This gotta be on Netflix fr.

The reenactments are hilarious 😆

Got away 😂. Hoover must have loved this guy.

Don Carlo . People forget about him . He never went to jail , died at home . Must successful boss of the five NYC Families .

Absolutely a mafia connection... But, they had too of had help from another faction. My opinion that they didn't plan or execute the assasination alone.

Oswald got in over his head, he got involved with some guys he should of never got involved with. It quickly cost him his life. 😮 Da streetz real y'all! 😅

“I have NEVER heard Santo Traficante express SO much in any documentary as He’s “portrayed” to have done so here… 😘🤣🥊🥶🤔🙀🤣🥊

Wow, it's really hard for you guys to get back in the more detail and you can see the changes to be made by the same ends..

Cuba is a gorgeous Country I go every year for a holiday.

Better tropi is a president in America ❤

I remember capone in chicago back in my 20's. Amazing time!

3 bullets ! I thought it was one the accuracy and skill it must of took to do that is insane

Nice

Very interesting they have all this good footage of the man. Even him being in prison.

Good comments here. I must add that the stabbing of Al Capone in Alcatraz by Jimmy Lucas was not anything like what was shown in the reenactment. It happened (according to Wikipedia) in the shower, and he only received a minor chest wound and superficial cuts to his hands with half a pair of scissors (a scissor?), not repeated plunges into his abdomen with a real knife. Granted, the makeshift shiv could be just as dangerous if not more than a knife, but he did not receive multiple plunges into his abdominal cavity. Again, this is only according to Wikipedia, which can easily be edited by anyone.

Keep bringing them we’re here!

Our own CIA GOVERNMENT KILLED KENNDY NOT THE MOB LOL

Traficante must have had good friends in high places.

Giancana wasn't the boss of the out fit I Chicago Tony arcado was

Thank you very much. I, as millions of others, have watched dozens of documentaries on this sad subject. I do not recall any discussion regarding the reason why Dallas was chosen for the tragic act.

The CIA was not created until 1947. Maybe I got something wrong, but Lucky and AL were not around then.

It lines up with what a few ex-mob guys turned KZfaqrs have hinted/suggested. Although apparently Chicago had an axe to grind too not just Florida and New Orleans….

Also funny that Dion O'Banion and Hymie Weiss are not mentioned in the Capone story. Too many corners cut here

And then there is Dorothy Killgallen.

al Capone beat down the mayor in front of police in front of a courthouse yea he was a gangster foreal and had cops in pocket

He was hit twice in the back once in the throat twice in the head another shot missed n hit the dash n another the back seat ⁰n one hit the curb other misses.

Carlos Marcello..And Meyer Lanski..

The idea that the mafia would rely on Jack Ruby for anything is absurd.

Jewels Of Tibet's... Again...Thanks Auntie Remi

How is it that no one in the prop department ever noticed that newspapers DON'T WORK THAT WAY! 😆

The downfall they are thriving very well the bosses sacrificed themselves in the end but the families are mostly all legit politicians ,unions ,owners, contractors , they even made it to work with federal government. man, I can go on and on smart people. The plan worked flawless.

Boardwalk empire is a show I highly HIGHLY recommend if this interests you at all.

Hover was the head of Fbi not a president

Oswald was at the Dallas city jail and being moved to the county jail when he was shot.

I have been watching these documentary since 2009 2010 on my little blackberry phone....

Fun fact about Traficante is his last name means what he actually was! In Spanish like in Italian (I'm Italian), it means (Drugs, weapons, etc) Trafficker. Ancient Romans would say "Nomen Omen", ominous name

No mention of Tony Soprano

Michael Franzese literally tells us this.

The CIA killed Kenedy😢

This stated that Al Capone was "america's first superstar gangster" yet that isn't quite right. He may have been America's first Italian superstar gangster, but I think the first superstar gangster would belong to John Dillinger or Jessie James.

Look at the limo footage, driver, and the floating tree...if you can find it

I wish they’d used old $100 bills instead of the 1996 design……

Kennedy's dad got his start as a bootlegger.

Lucky Luciano, was ahead of his time😎😎😎

Gangsters don't get old

60 yr 1963 2023 still lingers in us history !

Add the C.I.A.

Did anyone but me notice that the suitcase with the $150,000 was filled with today's money? Careless programming. And why did someone who made multi millions seemed to be so impressed with that 150k peanuts?.

That's quite the conspiracy theory that you tried to spin about the Kennedy killing but the one dot that you failed to connect in any way, shape or form was Oswald to any of them. Oswald acted alone. Ruby acted alone. Case closed.

*Excellent documentary very well done*

No mention of Big Jim Colosimo at all? Al worked for him first in Chicago.

" Celebrity Gangsters??!" I 🤔 John Gotti was the last of Celebrity Gangsters

Now just imagine Bugs Moran reaction when he hears how far Al Capone has fallen

Wow❤❤❤

According to Michael franzese, yes thats exactly what happened with jfk

Ever since Dewy We have seen it Know enough of it And here history being repeated again Just a different place 15:50

Public tuff guy number one

Accent is completely wrong and the actor playing Mr. Trafficante way too young. I grew up next door to Mr. Trafficante.

SVM was not botched. The targets were Moran's muscle and Albert Weinshank who was the last to arrive. When he got there he was told there was a phone call for him but when he picked up the phone the caller hung up. The killers made sure that he was there before they sent the hit squad. Later, when they found one of the cars used in the massacre they found Weinshank's address book in it. The car was found in Maywood near the home of Claude Maddox who was rumored to have planned the event. It was for control of the unions which the outfit needed to replace lost income upon repeal of prohibition.

Someone definitely tipped the cops to Appalachen. Probably someone who didn’t likee Viito Genovese

WHY did Jack Ruby LUNGE at Oswald AFTER he had already SHOT him??? But then claimed to police he doesn’t remember shooting Oswald??

New York loand Al Capone to Chicago

The commission trial followed by John gotti being too flashy is what brought the spotlight on the mob

I can't take a documentary seriously when they referred to Oswald as the lone shooter, and saying only three shots were fired .. 🤔🤔🕵🏻🕵🏻🔫🔫🧠🧠🧠

The shooter was in the motorcade. Make your pick 😂

traffic can't eh

Im not so sure but I believe the JFK Assasination was an American Coup. Id like to the names?

either one of those photos could pass for George Santos

He name explains it all 8:14

It took tou 60 years to figure that out!!!

Right

The winds of war episode 5 ❤

Wait is Trafficante Italian? Because I am quite confident he is. The actor that portrays him here sounds Russian. LOL, geez, I must break him!

The Prohibition showed that if you ban something people want,somebody is providing it. So,after 13 years ban on alcohol,they ban Marijuana,the agents have to have a job.......

They don't even say what the name of this tv show is. It is very good

It's very doubtful Johnson had a clue what was in the constitution or the bill of rights, and yet he took an oath to defend uphold and to secure the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Oh bs. We all knows what really happened
