Government Informant Vs NonInformant With Larry Mazza & Frank DiMatteo Both Colombo Family Members 

Larry and Frank are both class acts . you allow your guests to talk which is a great technique

You did a great job letting them speak. To many people interviewing guests think it’s about them. Not you. I just subscribed. This was an excellent interview.

Superb video…. The Colombo Family is the most fascinating of the 5 families.

Franks one of my favorite mafia guys to listen to, Ty for the video

You did a good job hosting these guys… lot of stories between them. Letting them talk was a good move.

Larry’s story needs to be a movie ASAP

The concept in this interview and the way you handled it was excellent bro.

Larry testified against a corrupt FBI agent who worked for Scarpa (who had already died) He didn’t rat on his friends.

Both your guests are awesome. Good job

Yo man I just wanted to say I really like your stuff and your whole vibe. You let your guests talk and u seem like a real cool guy.

Good idea and great interview

Frank my family and myself come fromPresident Street,back in 60s. Moved to Howard Beach mid 70s.Ironic ,became close friends with Joes sister Carmela’s son Gary who unfortunately passed a few years back.Know the family for years.Good people.Frank,the real estate in that area is insane.Ferdinandos on union is still there ,went there when a kid ,vasteda,Manhattan special. Have a good year.

Excellent show, well done on getting these two together

Nice job to get the real testimony from these two all stars. This video says more than all the rest combined. Great job. Historical gem.

"Omerta my left fucking ball" haha, that was good😂

I really enjoyed your show it was so Great that YOU let Frank and Larry talk. These are two Gentlemen. Thank you for such an interesting show.

Another Gem Champ 🏆 Mentioning Gems with these guys is great. Randazzos was the spot for the raw clams, Harbor View lmao well i wont go there 4 hour stay, Golden Gate another hotel. The list goes on and one thanks for the memories on this one needed this. A lot of memories were not all bad growing up in the Old Neighborhood. People from out of state really would not understand.

Great interview. Both of them are great guests.

@18:01 did he say he sat with Frank Costello..!! Hahaha 🤣😂 yeah okay

Allie and carmine did not know about Greg, they just couldn’t admit that they were blind to it and didn’t know, they would never admit a mistake

I love the Old school Brooklyn stories!!! Fantastic!!

Yo Larry can you talk about heavy weight and persico loyalist TOMMY SHOTS GIOELI?

Larrys thinking on becoming informant is normal, but the problem is he doesnt just get to rat on people who did him wrong. He has to rat on those who did nothing to him & detail all his crimes. Criminals being unloyal is nothing new

Just subscribe, great job! You let them just talked which was excellent!

Great interview need a part 2 very interesting guys💯🇮🇹

That's actually an interesting conversation and quite truthful

These guys are absolutely right, everyone is a tough guy till they get slapped!! Then they do nothing

I don't blame you Larry I would have turned evidence to after finding out Greg was an informant all those years

Excellent interview

This was a great watch

This is huge

Larry became a cooperator not an informant...there is a difference but at the end of the day...they've both told.....a Cooperator/Informant....I'm commenting in General here...not saying this about Frank Dimatteo💯

Buddy is Barney

I could listen to Frank all day, what a great storyteller

Frank is a legend. Never ratted He has no immunity because he didn’t rat

It's Liberace!! 🤣

frank is gerrisan beach guy wore a earing for years now its cool todo pod cast lolol come on

I hope Frank hits the mobtube circuit doing more interviews

Frank you have nothing to prove to key board gangsters. Also assume everyone a cooperator now a days. Larry thank god you got out alive. Thanks fellas for the content.

Frank dimatteo a legend

I wonder if "buddy" is sonny franzese

I ain't saying Larry's reason's not the truth but almost every snitch I've heard say why is because there were getting betrayed? not 1 of them says they did it to push back on the sentence?

No pozazz where’s Sammy?

I do understand Larry's point and I was never in that situation but the oath is about the entity not the individuals it's bigger then that

Most guys just like hearing themselves call someone a 🐀 rat!

Dude I really like the books he wrote. Frank D

When you actually know Larry’s story, I actually don’t blame him at all. For one, I was not there, and neither was anyone else that comments and calls these guys names, none of us were in that life, but he was put in a position where he found out That everyone down the totem pole and up the totem pole from him had already flipped. People he had went out of his way to defend, had already turned on him. At that point who is he staying loyalty to? There was an even anyone left at that point to even point the finger at him because they had already flipped

Who was Larry talking about in jail? “Buddy” was he talking about Barney bellomo?

The Colombos really were red-headed stepchildren of the Five Families! Well, them AND the Bonannos. And on the flip... The Chin was the single most powerful wiseguy in America!💯

I enjoyed this one intakes me like Mazza a little more I always liked frank

I understand what your saying about bad mouthing a guy for ratting.i don't agree with guys like Sammy bull he makes a ton of $$.he did all those murders and makes money he should live a quiet life

You got to be able to see everyone’s motive, who is using who for what. True loyalty does exist but it’s few and far between, and I wouldn’t count on it, when the smoke clears it will be you and you only and that’s 100% reality no BS. Play it like this, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU

I don’t believe Larry.Carmine done too much time to know about Greg. What gain he got knowing about Greg not like it kept him out jail

Bro how you getting both of these guys at the same time

It's a personal decision some can live with it and some can't

Amazing content. Best I’ve seen and I sub to 20 channels. You let them talk. 🙌🏽

Who was this guy's father frank

Idk frank like that but lets be honest he was in the life before they were goving out basket numbers to ppl. also before rico and when the mob basically ran rhe county. Mazza fell into it unfortunately it was with greg scarpa who was basically a Fed himself. I bet he woulda been a stand-up guy if Greg never was who he was which is an informant.

I always have liked Larry. He seems like a good guy. Yes he turned informant, but with reason. Not like Sammy the Bull who didn't just turn on John Gotti, but 32-34 other people. Sammy went out of his way to rat on people. Larry only turned on those who turned on him. Call it what you will, I can respect that alot more then just snitching to snitch ! Now people make fake friends these days, just to have someone to throw to the lions of they need to. I have a very small circle of close friends, and those that don't probably never realize just how vulnerable they are until one of their friends gets in a jackpot, and starts talking. When you are on the street, it is always a constant battle for power, respect, money. If you really think about it, the best way to stay one up on your opponents is to have something that you can use against them. Call it what you want, but this has been a tactic used since the earliest of mankind originated. To thin this mindset doesn't exist in your circle or organization is to simply be naïve !

Mazza was definitely in a unique situation🤷‍♂️.

Frankie is the real deal. I like Frank a lot. Wish him all the best.

what a way to live. No Thanks

I dunno next to Larry this guy dont seem so authentic anymore certain things he sed make me think he was never part of anything.

It seems that peoppe who cooperate have a complex about it so they constantly try to justify it by brining up examples of other people who cooperate, especially to a higher degree, because they think the comparison will make them look better. It doesn’t. At the end of the day if you did a crime with consequences and you gave up information about other people in order to weasel out of those consequences you are a rat. If you do a crime why shouldn’t you do the time? It’s your decisions and actions. Unless you are being forced to do something or are framed you should never implicate anybody else. If you can’t handle it you shouldn’t be committing crimes. It doesn’t matter that other people cooperated. It doesn’t justify you cooperating. Also talking tough to people who make comments doesn’t make reality go away. How does beating someone up change what you did? And you say those people couldn’t face the time. Well that’s why they don’t commit crimes in the first place. You consciously commit crimes and then weasel yourself out. Think about it

There’s a lot of misuse of the word “informant”… an informant is someone working secretly with law enforcement and providing information about the people around him/her. Someone like Mazza, was a witness for the government and agreed to testify about crimes he was involved in and provide testimony about the other people involved. This is usually done in conjunction with a plea agreement and to avoid long or life prison sentences. Your title should say “Government Witness”… shows you don’t have a clue and I can skip your video.

The way I look at that life is I can't say to much I have never been a Mon guy but I have been snitched on for growing pot and the cops tried to get me to turn and I said no way But I can't hate on someone that was screwed over by the guys that can and would have killed them for snitching so what I'm getting at is people should not throw stones until they know the whole story of why some of these guys did what they did but then there's also some guys that snitched that does deserve a beating anyway my point is don't judge somebody until you've walked a mile in their shoes

JoeJoe (Monte) sent me to learn up.

I THINK IF GREG WASNT BAD...LARRY WOULDNT OF TURNED..I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF HE MEANT GOTTI SR OR JR BY HE WASNT NO ROLE MODEL?? Sr took his time like a man..and Jr did the best legal distraction of the century while giving them noone...not 1 person took time for what JR gave...not saying it waa right but cant say 1 person did time bc JR

Might as well just say Barney…everyone knows.

I would love to know who all new about scarpa cause if u ask me who ever new is almost as bad as greg

Half the people you find in the comments, bc there’s always a couple of them, who talk shit about these guys ratting would rat for a lot less. Theyd rat to get out of a shop lifting charge. I sorta understand why some do it for instance they do it bc the boss or someone else is going to lay that case at the persons feet even though they were just following orders in the first place. However the ones I can’t stand are the ones who rat bc they feel like it. I used to like him but not anymore, however Red Wimette followed that path. Decided to flip just bc he wanted to and wanted to get Outfit guys off the street. He acts like he’s the foremost authority on Chicago outfit. Plus he always talked shit about Frank Cullotta when Frank was alive. More than once. But now that he’s dead Red snuck his way onto Franks old channel cuz his own channel was getting barely any views. I don’t like that.

The worst host on the internet, where are your questions ??? ... you're not controlling the interview!!! Watch how Michael Franzeese does it ....!!!!!

I like larry but this episode was a lay up,come on u guys new how frank felt about his cooperation before the episode.a little push back would make great content that's what everyone wants to see ya know a little devils advocate would be fire someone respectfully though

You guys just talk over each other. PITIFUL!!

These guys crack me up trying to portray the mob as some prep school,lol. You could follow all the rules and still get whacked cause someone wanted your book. I know who they are but maybe some introduction for those that don't would be helpful. I've heard people say that Larry was barely an associate

Frankie has no clue what he talking about seems like a nice guy but he is double talking he makes no sense seems like he just trying to jump on the band wagon of this genre and he talking and incriminating himself about stuff he did that he could go away for the rest of life. His mouth is like direa.

Please Try to get Anthony Ramandi ! He also has a story and I actually believe him a lot of people call him fake but he said his cousin’s name was McIntosh I heard these people mention that name in this interview and also all three of them have the Colombo connection They sound like they have similar stories I actually believe Anthony I don’t care if you think I’m crazy or not I have no reason not to believe him he kept the story the same every interview I seen him do Good show!👏👏👏
