Inside the Chicago Outfit - Episode 1: Sam “Momo” Giancana: A legend is born 

Sir, I agree that some visuals would help. Keep watching. Season two is on the way!

Forget NY…. They are soooo played out. I’d recommend The Detroit Patnership or the Tocco-Zerilli Crime Family. Then The Bruno-Scarfo Family.

@@josephsierzengaIV amen,Only 1 made member testifying since the beginning is pretty impressive.

@@fuzzybutkus8970 💯 The only LCN Commission Family that can say that…

Thank you Tom! Episodes 2-4 are up now, with the rest of Season 1 to follow.

We would love to hear from you!

There was 5 families in NY because New York is much bigger than Chicago so the New York mob was much bigger than the Chicago's mob.

More Episodes coming in the next few days. Thanks. :)

@@vpodtv644 keep,em coming

Humphreys is mentioned plenty throughout our discussions.

Great info, Del. Glasgow has always been a hell of a tough town. We can do some digging.

@@r.c.r.7413 Thanks man the coralation between the razor gangs and the deportees is a fact. Second generation some born in US got sent packing with parents. 150 people. Scottish papers got it here im sure it has to be in America there. I just forget the Scottish guy who was Als bodyguard and trusted by hims name. Please do. Wise Guys the hustle never ends. My Grandfather before WW2 at 17 was bookies runner for dad and after war muscle. My parents narco trafficante and i done some jail too. My son first one in 4 gen not to do Barlinnie Prison.. Chain broke now.

@@delstrain8590, thanks for the historical info, I knew none of that. 👍

@@brewcity2317 Pleasure man, i learned it around two years ago. My friend Paul Ferris a well known Glasgow face confirmed it too. Saluti amici.

Well said sir.

Look up Joseph barbera Appalachian house, it’s not a tiny place. There’s what appears to be multiple buildings. There’s the main house which isn’t tiny, a multi car garage, what appears to be a barn and multiple other buildings, The property itself is massive

We definitely need to do Humphreys. We talk about him throughout the season and tell several great stories. He was a pivotal figure.

LMAO!!

My Grandpa made beer and wine in his basement. He did it during prohibition but I don't believe he sold it to anyone. Not sure how it tasted because he quit doing it by the time I was old enough to know anything.

My grandfather used to make tub wine and did so up to about 5 or 6 years ago and it was horrible. Same recipe he used for nearly 60 decades. Makes me gag just thinking about it

Sounds good. I like feet

I think the "persecuted businessmen" line was tongue-in-cheek.

People from Texas, Brooklyn, and Chicago are so proud of where the come from.

Very well said.

Well said. Maywood,IL although close to Chicago is still a suburb away from Chicago. The town of Cicero is probably what you're thinking of, it's been mobbed up from Capone's time till today despite becoming predominantly Mexican today.

1957 was very long time and Chicago outfit not really intelligent rather very aggressive killings, lucky Luciano from NY was very intelligent than any mob in the USA!!

@@Fano316, Luciano was a small, thin, very intelligent man. Or that is my distant impression of him with the superficial knowledge I have of him. Nonetheless, I wouldn't describe Accardo (Chicago product) and Paul Ricca (a product of Southern Italy, Camorra, New York City, and Chicago Outfit) as unintelligent men. Luck Luciano has brand name like Nike sneakers or Taco Bell. And people flood to sneakers by Nike and food by Taco Bell. I wear New Balance sneakers, and prefer the MANY Mexican owned food trucks on the South Side of Milwaukee. Chicagoans, New Yorkers, and people from San Francisco and Los Angeles will understand that. The many people outside those city propers in the "suburban counties" surrounding them typing away online? Not so much. I'll have to read from the like that x city has more Starbucks than say Milwaukee and thus de facto in their mind no good cup of coffee could be purchased anywhere in Milwaukee LOL. And not to knock the Starbucks product, they are good at what they do, seems evident. But so is Taco Bell and McDonald's. And by the way... to you foreigners... in the City of Milwaukee McDonald's in NO WAY is considered to have top quality burgers. I you're in Italy or some suburban part of Illinois you might not know that. (Taco Bell is not authentic Mexican food either, Mexican influenced maybe, in a very Americanized and large corporate way). The late and eldest son (Joseph) of the former Milwaukee crime boss was an intelligent man. His younger brother claims he was a genius. True or not I do know from excerpts of Joseph's prose that he had a better command of the English language than myself and most Americans, his vocabulary was far broader than mine and the vast majority of Americans. If that excerpt I read was any indication of how he normally spoke in the courtroom--both he and his brother were once practicing lawyers, and assumed Made Men in the Milwaukee mafia--then Joseph was something of a bard in the courtroom. He spoke with 3 great elements writer should hope to achieve with the written word, him the spoken word, grace, rhythm and impact. So, was Joseph intelligent? His name was NOT a marketable brand outside the City of Milwaukee, and one outside of Wisconsin might not expect to encounter a figure like him in Wisconsin. He also taught a COLLEGE course on campus in art history AFTER his father died I believe. Did Lucky Luciano ever teach a college course? If not that does NOT mean Luciano was unintelligent or incapable of do so. But the use of the statistical concept of statistical "outliers" is helpful in critical thinking. Though I have no data in it I would wager Joseph if true he was a Mad Man in the Mafia then he was a statistical outlier in the mafia by teaching at least 1 semester a college course in art history. Wearing Nikes will not make you run any faster than if your opponent wearing New Balance sneakers. The best infantryman online (RU-vid) I have seen in pistol and rifle firing skills is not a Marine, or Navy SEAL, nor an Army Green Beret. He is in the Air Force. So, far as I know he has NOT come out and publicly stated he is Air Force special operations commando. I know he stated in one video to his viewers, "some of you have figured out what I do" (job in Air Force). My point here is the name brand "Marine" or SEAL or Lucky Luciano leads many of us to ASSUME that brand name is the best in every given scenario. We might be defeated by the guy with no brand name who we vastly underestimate and dismiss. Then comes a Mike Tyson knocked out in an upset by a Buster Douglas. There might be a New York City mobster who was or is a genius BUT few of us civilians have ever heard his name.

Respectfully, wiretaps and Confidential Sources prove otherwise. Accardo and Ricca held ultimate power even during 1957-1966

He and Giancana did attend, and did escape the police.

Yes, in the late 70s Sam Carlisi started using the making ceremony.

@@PaulWhitcombe Was Sam Carlisi the boss in the 70s? I thought It was Joey Aiuppa. In Calabrese's testimony, he said It was Aiuppa at the head of the table with all of the Capo's. I found it odd that Tony Accardo wasn't there.

@@EM-ve9bh Sam wasn't the boss until 1986. Prior to that he was Auippa's driver and appointment secretary.

@@PaulWhitcombe Man the leadership of the Chicago Outfit gets so confusing haha. How would sam carlisi start using the making ceremony if he were a Capo, wouldn't the boss do the ceremony? Or did he influence Aiuppa to start it again? Wiki says that Joe Ferriola was the boss from 86' to his death in 89', which Carlisi took over until HIS death in 97'. Which I guess would make sense since Frank Culotta said that Ferriola was the one who ordered the hit on Spilotro in 86'

@@EM-ve9bh Wiki and Culotta were wrong. Evidence is now, years later, very clear, that Carlisi took over for Auippa in 1986. Ferriola was never Boss, but it served the Outfit's purpose for the G to believe that he was. Carlisi had the juice to instate the making ceremony with Auippa's blessing. Remember, Carlisi is from Buffalo, NY and his brother Roy was a Capo there. He was heavily influenced by traditional Cosa Nostra.
