Former FBI agent Joe Pistone, who infiltrated the Mafia for six years as Donnie Brasco, reveals how his undercover work led to more than 100 convictions - and resulted in the death of underworld figure Dominick `Sonny Black' Napolitano.
The mob look ! What is that .? Let's talk Colombian cartels pre rock .Cubans love Colombian s Mex. Vs Guat .so on and so on Carter and the boatlift brought Entertainment.
They literally didn't come back stronger. In fact, foreign mobsters have taken over. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Beyond that, knowing the exact structure and chain of command was invaluable. Virtually thr entire syndicate in New York is gone thanks to the work Pistone did.
@@Tank4Life Please look up Joseph Messino. He took over as Boss after the Pistons case. I’m not going to get into a back and forth with you; but you really need to do some research. Oh; did you know the the brother of Chin Gigante still gets paid six figures for doing a Longshoreman’s job that only exist on paper. Not bad for an organization with power.
@@craighewes1745Who says he’s in protective custody? I know for a FACT that he’s not hiding from anyone. He’s been back to NY for business and pleasure and doesn’t need any security team on him at all.
Donnie Brasco was my favorite movie for a long time! As a Girl, I was teased about my 2 favorite movies. The other movie was "Above The Law" Steven Seagal. These were 2 of the best movies ever!
@@jeffreyferris218 The Hunt for Red October was a great movie as well. I'm not a criminal or do I have any interest in that life but I think I've seen every Mafia movie since the late 70s. I said I'm not a criminal but I did just heist your play list of Bible movies. 😂 I've probably seen many of them but they're all worthy of endless viewings.
@averagejoe9642 you don't know what you're replying about. I've studied "la costa nostra" since I was a teen. My favorite gangster is/was Anthony 'gaspipe' Costellano. Of the Lucchesse crime family.
Moral of the story is..... you may think u big time in these streets they'll even let u get rich until the U.S. GOVERNMENT decides enough is enough yall doin too much it's time to go 😂
My father and uncle used to hang out with Sonny Blacks son. His name is Sammy Nap. He just came home from doing 25yrs. He killed someone in the motion lounge after his father died.
I’ve never seen the Movie, I knew of Donny Brasco as an under cover operative but no details. Glad I didn’t , this video is excellent. The whole atmosphere of Mafia life was alive in the narration and the testimonials . Good work gentlemen and ladies if applicable.
When you think about it, it's actually insane that this guy went undercover in a Mafia organisation. A time when they were at their peak and insanely ruthless. I wouldn't even want to make eye contact with one, let alone infiltrate them as an undercover cop. What they did to people who owed a little bit of dough was bad enough. Imagine them finding a cop. Palpitations just thinking about it.
I remember Ruggiero when I was 7 yrs old hanging out by Patsy Pizzeria in Mulberry st. I would see him 3x a week I didn't know that this would be this big of a deal
Why can't no-one pronounce his name right. They're all saying 'Ruggerio'. I read the book, years ago, that's why I noticed they don't pronounce it correctly.
The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.
Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.
He also has to make sure he doesn’t say any law that he broke. And we all know he definitely committed crime, how you running with mobsters for 6 years and never broke a law
In the book he was hanging out with the Jilly crew pretty long after the incident and he hit both Frankie and Patsy, Jilly was the only made guy in the crew.
Why not subtitle in Romanian or in all dialects all your posts ?! It's a shame, you have interesting and good posts ,and you could have many more subscribers and visitors !!!
I feel like in order to be an undercover agent in that lifestyle. Back then you had to break a lot of rules, if not actually be involved in crime personally and committing crimes right alongside these people in order for them to trust you
Wow that undercover agent has to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder with a mafia bounty of $500k on his head. Some dangerous work with some dangerous unforgiving scumbags!
In the movie Donnie Brasco,they depicted it like Santo broke up the club in cahoots with Sonny Red.This is why you must do your research on this movies.
No when you step into the place Joe Pistone.went. two you are that person. For Life. This is a Fact.Yes you can go back to your true self but. You can never forget who you where.
For six years he worked undercover and became close to Sunny. And all he cared about was the case he could've save Sunny knowing the out come but chose the case instead of friendship. I know this people where breaking the law but still officer has responsibility to save life's first
Someone answer me one thing. How did they make sure Pistone never had jewellery that a mobster would recognise? What if he was showing jewellery that was taken from a mobster and he recognised it?
I could never be undercover and rat out the mob especially if I hung out with them for six years, I couldn’t do that job I would say fire me before I do that job.
@knucklegame5050. There always has to be some knuckle head who thinks they're a wise arse who can outdo the the FBI and the mafia.They are usually the first to be knocked off. This was a long time ago. Many people dressed like that then.
I am no criminal mastermind but if I were, would never engage anyone. This tactic in place as a rule, would make it very hard to infiltrate any organization, since it forces them to make the first move... Once they did make an overt attempt you could know to be very careful in what you say or reveal since they made first move... Like Chess I play as white, but I like Black because you know a move ahead that every move you make must first be to look for a way to defend or parry his move and also hide your motive. This is very effective since the White only alerts when any move Black makes is attacking since White expects defensive moves. If the mob did have this tactic to never engage anyone in certain topics. This forces the informant, rats, or any who wish to infiltrate. If anyone outside the org were to ask certain things or imply you would then be able to know we need to force this person to commit a crime or place them in certain position a gov officer or LEA cannot engage in that would taint or make the case void. This would keep any attempts from infiltrating contained to the lowest level to move up will require them to do something that only a real criminal can do, and anyone in that lowest level can now know, and pass on to every level up to the top to add to a list this person... a simple spreadsheet with these to keep aware who is where in the org no one can infiltrate a move up unless they do xyz that way anyone person who is not who they claim has no way to enter without having done a crime that a LEA cannot be part in. Plenty of crimes they cannot be party in harm no one and simple to setup that would have made the old Mob org intact today. Today the Mob still exist but they now are more using a leverage or blackmail to make money and this is just a chain of power with the top levels making all the money and since this leverage or blackmail might be known to or in others keep. Murdering to move up or a war like old school was the main reason all the violence and murder was about. Now it is what you know and who did something very few know at first but once it is in play it gets around in that circle.. Most industry systems are built in this manner. Someone with power fucks up and someone in the system leverage that to exploit it to enrich or help the rest. Most real crimes like murder are coverups and the ones that are able to cover it up are corrupt local gov who then pass this on to the real industry and they then have a leverage over the local gov who make a small change in the official record that the crime is unsolvable or covered up as something else. You can read between the lines and if you pay attention can see the ways they signal in public content to keep everyone in line. I see this a lot.. and most all power and fame is not without some under the surface thing that each level must pass to gain access to their circles... and its not a one clear system its real power thou is one single circle that hold the absolute power that make all the money and make the rules. If this system were described by labels, I would say it is named Greed, Vanity, Gluttony, Hate, Envy, lust... lol
