Scarpa had one of the best deals ever in the history of the mafia here...A capo by day and a fed by night, with a greenlight to kill and make money with impunity..all at the feds behest. Wildman had a great run ...for a while..

Greg Scarpa, although an informant, was one of the most interesting mobsters to me. Widely feared, and was basically a diabolical genius who used the feds, and everyone else to his own benefit. Any other videos on Greg Scarpa would be really appreciated. Love all the content btw. No idea how the hell you get this stuff

@@sixmillion977 He didnt get his nickname the Grim Reaper for being a teddy bear. Just because mobsters need an okay to hit someone doesn't mean it wasn't done. Ive heard so many stories about him. He was accused a few times of being an informant, yet was never hit. U think they would hesitate to kill someone they even suspected of being a rat? Hell no. Read a book or two on the mob. He is written about in so many of them. Also, I didnt say he was feared by made men only. There were hundreds and thousands of associates, and citizens who knew about him very well.

Loads of gangsters have cosy relationships with feds/police/law enforcement generally. It is part of the game. The whole "snitches get stitches" line is BS to keep underlings in line and to put the fear into whoever is being extorted or whoever may happen to witness something. If you see a gangster who has been around for a long time, is known to have committed serious crimes and seems to walk around without a care in the world, they likely have friends in law enforcement and/or are informants. Organised crime even put their own people into police forces. People don't know how deep these connections go due to all the BS in the movie - most informants who get caught are low level guys and most successful guys will have some kind of relationship with law enforcement. A lot of people only think about the Italian-American mob, but look at Whitey Bulger - a "top echelon informant" for decades, as well as his partner. There are loads of Greg Scarpas out there - organised crime wouldn't be able to thrive as it does without collusion with state forces (from police right up to the CIA and Pentagon - a good example of this would be the collusion between the mob, the CIA and the Cuban far-right anti-Castro people that set up the Kennedy assassination) and the reason that this collusion and corruption exists it because there is too much money involved. After all, organised crime is merely the business of black market capitalism, which is incredibly lucrative. I'm not sure as to how Scarpa was revealed as an informant, whether it came out after his death or not, but loads of guys in OC will be informants and will pass on info to take out rivals, will pay for info, will blackmail cops and the like (one of the most successful things the Italian-American mob ever pulled off was blackmailing J. Edgar Hoover, via the blackmail operations of Roy Cohn, to the point that he denied that the mafia even existed and instead went after black power groups and "communists"). But the key thing is, don't fall for the traps. They will tell you "snitches get stitches" to make sure you take years for some dumb crime and ruin your life whilst they secretly have lunch with their fed handlers lol. The game is rigged and the movies have done a fine job feeding this notion that there was somehow something "honourable" about the mafia. Look at any other ethnic organised crime group - they are portrayed as barbaric in comparison, by and large, but the Italian-American had a decent PR machine with the silly movies (great movies, but silly and dishonest) and they are still at it with their podcasts and YT channels and all that. Gangsters are gangsters and there is no honour amongst thieves - never has been, never will be. Anyone who believes there to be any kind of nobility in "the life" is a fool who has seen too many movies.

I think the owner of the channel had a job that involved him having had to collect records pertaining to the war against organized crime back then. He had to be a media personnel, law enforcement or close to the organized crime families. Im betting my money on his connection with the media industry.

Here in the UK we had a few years in the late 1970s when we had "Supergrasses who basically ratted on everyone and everything that they possibly could only to find out a few years later that they were lying and nearly every conviction was annulled along with a change in the law where such procedures were stopped so I am fascinated with the situation over in America as they continue to swallow whatever these utterly discredited individuals spout.

@@nagone11 Thanks for reading. I write these long posts in the hope that some of the wannabe gangster types might get a clue as to how the whole thing really works. How many kids might lap up this kind of content and go out and try and become a gangster, only to end up in jail, r@ped in the a$$ over some debt or by some rivals who see a petty guy carrying weight and decide to rob and torture him or - if they are lucky when you know what "enforcers" really do when they get to enforcing - they might end up dead. I know of at least one story of a guy who killed himself after dealing with some enforcers, because he couldn't live with himself after the trauma he went through. I know of other people who ended up completely f*cked up due to similar scenarios but even one case of an "innocent" person who knocked on the wrong door. He was a crook, but he wasn't involved in anything terrible in my eyes, hence why I say "innocent" - he knocked on the wrong door and ended up being tortured by one man whilst the local big shot watched and laughed, and the guy watching was seen as one of those "Robin Hood" guys because people were stupid enough to believe that he helped his community, even though he was a monster. The big shot was gunned down a few years back, not long after this incident, after running that city for around 30 years and he wasn't easy to kill - even had links with MI5. Needless to say, the guy who knocked on the door and endured the torture - sliced with razors, with salt then being poured into the wounds - ended up completely f*cked too. The criminal underworld is full of psychological issues, with PTSD being high on the list. People need to know just how nasty the whole thing is - the movies glamourise it, even though they say that they don't, and the news only report the tip of the iceberg because the truth would have people either throwing up over their dinner or trying to overthrow the government for allowing this sh!t to happen.
