Capturing Bloodthirsty Mob Boss Nicky Scarfo: The Great Philly Mob War | The FBI Files | Retold 

His parents paid his tuition and he’s afraid to to tell them?

He got in one little fight and his mom got scared

Lmao

Yes, I believe that why he had to move.

Welcome to miami... bienvenidos a miami

Will almost got wacked

Dead/incapacitated people cannot pay you. So, it was self serving in the end. Granted, he did not have to extend him the courtesy, but it was not altruistic.

@@adrianchannelle8651 better than Chicago. Miss one payment, they beat you up. Miss 2 payments and you're dead

Yes harry potter 🤣🤣

and at only 2 points a week. What a stand up guy😂😂😂

Was killing him over 1,000 really worth the attention of law enforcement

So it was like ever major city that has gangs, mafia, immigrants, democrat ran(except Boston) strict gun laws, etc.

It's worse now. By a lot.

CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG. 😅 ❤

@Charlie Bravo 😂

He was 20 🤷‍♂️

​@WolfFang-pg2hx he lacks honor, Integrity, courage, respect, he is a weasel, and deserves life of looking over his shoulder

False

@@markwest1963 Scarfo wasn’t even the boss after Bruno buddy. Scarfo had nothing to do with the Bruno murder

@@BostonsF1nest it took a while

@@markwest1963 the chicken man was next

Out of all the people that flipped in that family and spilled the beans on what really happened not a single one has ever said scarfo killed Bruno do some research people 🤦‍♂️

Nicky Scarfo was not responsible for Bruno's death. But Scarfo and Bruno were feuding close to the Bruno hit. They were feuding over Atlantic City which was Scarfo territory. Bruno once apparently sent an American Irish thug to try and rough up or threaten Scarfo. Scarfo caught wind of this and thought the guy was out to kill him. He relayed a message to the thug threatening to carve up his body and send it to Bruno in several bin bags. He then told Bruno to his face that he'd sever his thug's arm off and deliver it to him. But there's not really much else suggesting that Scarfo was in on the hit let alone knew anything about it. It was known within the family that a lot of the guys were disgruntled with Bruno's ban on drug dealing. The issue was Bruno allowed dealing on his family's territory and kept all the money to himself.

@@PlanetNinetyTwo in

excellent!!! Scarfo was a killer. But he didn't break rules like killing a boss ? He was loyal to the mafia

😊😊ooo

Exactly

Still got to pay the money on tax payers dime 😂

None at all

None at all

Yes but he was drug dealing and that was against the rules and Bruno wasn't about that so scarfa had him killed.

Yea, that was Tony-I'm not very good with money-Gapinie.

Yep, the Mob doesn't kill people over a thousand dollars, if they kill the person they don't get the money and money is what they're after. This chump didn't mind taking the money when he was winning, and decided not to pay his debt and use the FBI to get out of paying that's a dick move for sure.

Do you have any idea how much a thousand dollars was worth back then? That's at least a thousand single dollar bills put together... In mob money? That's FIFTY, whole, entire $20 bills inside a briefcase

Id imagine that he probably had a gambling problem, sounds like he was in a bad way. You dont borrow money from the mafia unless youre desperate. And you dont rat on the mafia to the FBI unless youre really fucking desperate.

For a college kid that’s a lot of money

Scarfo may have been in jail, but he knew what was going on….

Writers? Tf you mean? It’s about presenting the facts. Not writing a story

Right like I said in my previous comment snitches end up in ditches, what a knucklehead get killed over a grand

Yeah, he's the scumbag...not these Mafia jabronis...

You right

Right know not to even whisper anything in his direction ...... that's what I like about a gangster a real trust gangster. They sit down lay_back and do that time like a man.... you know what's coming if you get caught......

​@@gingerpeachy3044 snitches end up with stitches in ditches outside the kitchens where they go missin for snitchin and dissin

not if the attorney is not involved in the conversations. You can bug anywhere, it would just be inadmissible in court. But they were using the office amongst themselves without the attorney present. Attorney cannot be implicated in criminal activity or he goes to jail....

Thinking the samething

If they can provide proof that the lawyer is involved in the illegal activity privilege is gone

@@grouchyoleguy they can manufacture that proof.

@@grouchyoleguy But to be permitted to bug them looking for that evidence shouldn’t be how they “prove” it.

@@mypronounsarehewhothinksfo7083 proof came from snitches with direct knowledge of the lawyers involvement

@@FuNFuN2581 what are you talking about, proof? John Gotti was true till the end.

He really didn't have anyone to rat on though? Since he was the boss, so the fbi prime target....

@@dcheng4248 well the government got what they wanted.

He's also the main reason the Philly Mafia family fell apart. he was a paranoid psychopath and turned his back and killed everyone, even his loyal soldiers.

you forgot the twins from the Demeo crew and they became made by casso after they did a hit on a crazy Russian. there doing life no parole. And Henry borelli never talked either

He drove Bruno’s car and was in on the hit

He was in on it 100%

He was Bruno's driver. He was complicit. The Commission knew it too. That is why he had a contract put on him, until friends of his in the Gambino family in NYC got it lifted.

@@adrianchannelle8651 and scarfo went to talk to John G about it and he told him to let stanfa go and if he came back to Philly he would whack him I know the story

U got it wrong...stanfa was 100% in on that Bruno hit..

pay up!! unless they were going to kill him? he could have fled town and mailed payments from another state? just live on the border of two states lol

It even said he won at first. He was quick to take his winnings. Be a man and pay your debts

Right...he's the problem, not these Mafia douche bags...

I agree w u bud.

A thousand dollars, no less. What a bum.

Who did you talk to? Mr Natale or Mr Luisi? Or were you on the Commission?

@@Annalovesferrets I read Phil Leonetti’s book and researched the truth after that.

Yeah it's bad right? Wtf? Scarfo killed Bruno? No! Tony bananas 🍌 did!! And chickie narducie

Yeah this is garbage

Yep, I noticed that too. Scarfo didn't kill Bruno for starters

Well, I guess (non-lawyer) the FBI would have to present evidence before a judge that the lawyer's office was being used as a mob meeting place, above and beyond the normal criminal law practice. I believe these were private meetings that did not involve the attorneys. I don't think it's illegal for the the attorney to leave his mob clients in a room alone.

@@ralphiewigs2208 Ok. That makes sense.

It does technically violate attorney client privilege and may not be admissible in court if these meetings were between the attorney and the client. Any evidence they gained from the wire taps could be ruled forbidden fruit and inadmissible as well unless the FBI could prove they had ample opportunities to gain the evidence without the wire tap in question. If the meetings were in an open public area (not within a private building/office) then there would be no expectation of privacy so overhearing couldn't violate attorney-client privilege. If there was also a third party in the meetings between attorney and client then there would also not be an expectation of privacy or privilege between attorney and client. If like Ralphie mentioned that these were mob meetings using the law offices but not official meetings between attorney and client then it would be extremely difficult to attach privilege to just the offices and the information gathered could be admissible at trial.

@@ixxieangel I thought there were places that couldn't be bugged. What if they had their meetings at a church? Could they bug there too?

Lawyers also have other clients not related to this. Were not they also eavesdropping on conversations they had no right to listen to?

You were even alive in 1976 🤣🤣🤣

They told him to "sort it out" but he taught sort it out ment was to do the hit,he was conned in a sly way

@@bruetenn666 🤣 Fonzi Tieri, "hope I spelled his name correctly.. What he did was cold and calculating...Imagine a 10 year old kid that's nothing but a fckn straight up havock problem child that's been kicked out of several public schools, and finally just expelled nationally 🤣 private tutors fckn make the sign of cross, and it's all bad for the kid, poor kid right? Well imagine handing over one of those fancy fckn torch lighters to a kid like that!Fonzi Tieri played him cold and ruthless!😂😂😂 And Tony Capanegro his "ANTENNAS" his fckn "SPIDEY SENSES" failed him at a moment when they should have been at their sharpest ✌🏼

Albert is a exactly right . All the fellas he mentioned and who they are and what happened is on point . Thanks You for it . Later Joey

Alberto, do you think Scarfo was sneaky /capable to really be the person behind the Testa bombing? His quick jaunt off to NYC after the bombing always felt like a power grab to me rather then a set-the-record-straight moment. He took control of Salvi and then used him like a weapon till ultimately having him whacked too. I know the documentaries I've seen never suggest he had anything to do with it, but I've always felt like behind the scenes he could have been pulling the strings on that one.

​@@ronniewoodinsteadofmt2615He saved me from having to type out something similar 😂

And that's saying something because Philly today is in shambles!

We're wondering the same about Ben Simmons....

Caponigro* Manna* Funzi* Salerno*

It is possible that Scarfo knew it was going to happen. A lot of people don't know or overlook the fact that Scarfo and Bruno were beefing towards the end of the Bruno reign. They feuding over Atlantic City which was under Scarfo's control. It went so far as to have Bruno sent some goons to Atlantic City in an attempt to rough up or threaten Scarfo. He apparently perceived this as an attempt on his life. So if he knew about the plot I can believe that he wouldn't have acted.

@@PlanetNinetyTwo Yep I heard all about those issues in stories from my uncles -- Uncle Angelo & Nicky had a love-hate relationship, & it was Uncle Angelo who more or less banished Nicky to AC as punishment for the Oregon Diner situation (among other things) -- but then they did time together in '71-'73 & kinda patched things up somewhat, but Scarfo continued to have trouble in AC...However as it turned out, once casino gambling was legalized in '79 & things in AC turned around, that led to a whole new set of problems & tensions between them...And it was know throughout Philly & South Jersey that there were a lot of rumblings that Uncle Angelo was too greedy, too old, etc....And the code is that Nicky couldn't have said anything even if he heard things

@@PlanetNinetyTwo I

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Except Phil turned after Nicky was already sentenced to life. He never took the stand against him

Way after this

@@markwest1963 Do you think Merlino’s officially retired?

@@puppetmaster706 The Feds used the regional jail in which I was an officer. I met both Scarfo and Merlino. Scarfo was violent ( but not tough) and rude and any of those young inmates could have beaten him to death. For this reason , he had to stay in protected custody. Joey Merlino was one of the most polite inmates and acted like a human being. In all the time I worked around famous gangsters only one was a real tough guy. That was Delecroach, he didn't need a weapon to hurt a guy. The feds will have a snitch housed with a target so that later he can lie in court and say "So and so told me ...." Delecroach tortured and fucked up the snitch. That is why Delecroach was later moved to my unit.

@@puppetmaster706 no. semi.

@@blakedannion9232 what jail is this

Which mobster isn't insane to at least a dangerous degree. How do you become a "made man" ? Not by bringing flowers to the Boss.

@@Retroscoopmost guys are regular guys that just do what they're told to do. Nicky actually enjoyed violence. He was a psychopath.....

@@Retroscoop All mobsters are SOCIOpaths, yes. Scarfo was beyond that. He was a twisted sadist.

when Angelo died period. He and Phil Testa were the last of the old school Don's.....
