John Alite responded to me directly after I reached out to him following his daughters passing. My son died in 2019 from fentanyl. The man offered nothing but encouragement and hope at a time he was broken. We messaged back and forth several times. He had no reason to take time out of his day to say two words to me, I’m a nobody from the Midwest. But he did. Say what you want about his past, if he embellished, whatever…in my book, the man’s character is 100. I pray for the soul of Chelsea Alite and I pray for John and his family.

Never really seen a video about Alite without Alite. Good stuff

Alite reminds me of one of those guys who joins the Navy, does 2 years as a cook, gets thrown out or goes awol and then years later claims he was a top secret SEAL with a classified dd214 that only the President can access because he was such a dangerous killer that he could literally walk thru walls and shoot u as u slept.

Sorry to hear about Alites daughter. No matter what your feelings are about Alite that’s a very difficult situation for a parent to go through. No parent should ever have to bury their children,it’s supposed to be the other way around. I’m sorry for your loss John. My condolences to you and your family. I lost my beautiful wife in 2014,she had just turned 31 years old a few months before. We were together for a decade and that really really hurt. It’s been almost a decade since she had passed away and I still think about her multiple times a day and it really sucks. I know that she was not my daughter so I can’t even imagine what that must be like. I’m sorry for your loss brother. RIP to her!!!

Hell yeah, I'm pumped for this one man!! You put the best mob content out there.

What I like about Jeff and OC shortz. They just give facts. No filler. No fiction. Just straight shit. Thanks jeff

All I can say is, very well done Jeff that was a very balanced breakdown and stuck to the facts. Really well done. Condolences to John Alite and his family on the loss of his child, that's hard on any family.

I'll be honest this is the best and fairest piece I've seen on John alite. Good job Jeff👍

Thanks Jeff! You never fail to deliver!

I have been a proud subscriber from central Ky for almost a year now….I am far from being a “genre professional” but I can pretty confidently say that I’m well-versed in the organized crime genre overall….I have been aiming to leave a comment for quite some time and for whatever reason never have….However….todays show absolutely motivated me to comment. The show gets better and better with each and every episode. Todays topic of conversation was something that I’ve been wanting to hear for quite some time….from the subject matter, to the presentation and on down the line from start to finish, Jeff, you knocked it out of the damn ballpark today. Keep doing what you’re doing brother….you’re content is phenomenal, it isn’t pretentious, it’s presented in a factual, no b.s. kinda way and I just become a bigger fan each day. Thank you for being you and not needing to try desperately to present yourself as something/someone you aren’t like so many other amateur shows! If you aren’t subscribed and following Jeff and this show, what the HELL are you doing?!?! Great program as always my friend! Keep up the great, hard work…any fan of the genre worth their salt will tell ya, this is great content teamed with great presentation! Thanks Jeff!!!

I got the notification on my phone and literally got off my ass and walked across the room to my computer to watch it because I knew it was going to be good.

This may be the best documentary I've ever seen on John Alite, thanks Jeff great episode as always.

Interesting one Jeff, I think most people watching will agree with this video. Even IF they were to sitdown together, as fascinating as that would be, we all still wouldn't find out much more. I very much doubt it would happen anyway. Man's worst enemy is his own ego! Great video again brother 👍👍👍

Great video. You know it's good when my attention span is 5 minutes yet I watched the whole video

Yo dude You seem like a real good dude you got a professional touch on there and you give a lot of good information man it's interesting keep up the good work

Excellent program. You were well prepared for this podcast. Thank you Sir.

When can we get a show on Phil Leonetti ? His book Mafia Prince is a classic .

Love the show brother!!! Keep up the fire 🔥

Great video..I personally think one of the best you have done..by just presenting the facts and letting the viewer decide for himself.....

Really been waiting for this Jeff. Putting out great content

You're absolutely right, because if word got out, it would mean death for the conspirators. Probably one of the best kept secrets in Gambino Family history.

Excellent delivery Jeff. Thanks.

Great video. You presented a balanced, sensible, view of John Alite.

Great video been waiting for a video like this about Alite and of course as always you’ve provided Grazia Jeff

Enjoyed Jeff ans like your mix up from the idolized bullies in track suits - but enjoy that too! Thanks for the prep and due diligence Jeff

great video Jeff. Lancaster represent!

What’s up buddy. Still watching from Toronto Canada

AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS JEFF! 💜💜💜

Best part of my week is when you release a new video….

You’re great and your efforts are deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Good overview Jeff. About what I would have guessed. He was very connected, but also exaggerates many of the specifics. RIP young Ms Alite.

Great stuff as usual keep up the great work ❤

Jeff your the man when it comes to this genre! Purely factual based content that you deliver day n day out. No biased opinions just strictly the facts which is hard to find these days Much love and support from VA!!

You have the greatest mob podcast out there. God bless keep up the good work.

Yes Jeff if you can get John Burke to talk to you, that would be a great show. IDK if he's still around this neighborhood or in jail. Has to be in his mid 50s if I'm not mistaken. My friend who I won't mention dated him. That's a name from the past. You just brought back memories.

Great show Jeff, you put that across very well

I think more people knew about the Castellano hit then people realize. In the book "Five Families" John has Ruggiero reach out to multiple people in other Families to take their temperature about whether they would have a problem with Big Paul getting whacked. The only family in the dark I believe was the Genevese Family because of Chin's relationship to Castellano. Gaspipe Casso claimed to know as well. I think many knew but few were loyal enough to Big Paulie to say anything or attempt to intercede

Jeff, with a "deep dive" video on Alite, I wish you would've brought up specific things he said and fact check them to determine what's a lie or not a lie... There's been multiple videos where Alite mentions all these people he shot and some that he killed.. he mentions names so it should be pretty easy to figure out based on evidence and police reports if any of that is true.. and when he said Tommy Karate sent a hit team to his house and he had a shoot out with them.. and all those other crazy specific stories that should be somewhat provable. Also, you didn't even bring up that John Alite website that debunks all his claims.. I'm left the same as I was before seeing your video. I was hoping you could either prove or debunk specific claims that he said.. I know a lot of it can't be proven or otherwise, but all those names he rattles off in some of his interviews that he's shot and some that he killed should be provable.. The only one you mentioned was that Gebbert guy.. Which you said he was locked up at the time... So, I appreciate that you were able to determine that one, cuz I've heard him say he actually shot and killed him so that's a lie.. and I'm sure if you go down the line, a lot of them are probably bs.. And you mentioned his charges, ...if he killed all these people, why was he only charged with 2 murders? And it seems he's taking credit for those John Burke hits.. Do they even know each other, you didn't cover their relationship.. And if he did everything he says, why did he only get 10 years? That sentence was before he cooperated, he got released after doing only one year because of his testimony and put on 5 years supervised release.. I just wish your deep dive was a little deeper.. otherwise, great video like always.

Could u do a show on John pennissi that be interesting

You’re good at breaking down a persons history abs presenting the facts

JEFF, Another Unbiased Video , A lot Off Facts , Like The Way You Stuck To The Time Line & And Stayed On Subject , GOOD JOB JEFF

I liked the way you used to say, "THE SITDOWN" right before you started your show. It was fun and kinda cool. 😎👍 I really enjoy your channel. 👏👏

Finally, ... Jeff drops the long awaited Alite video..

Good job. I was in the same unit with Charles when he went to trial. I think what really got John off was not being affiliated for 5 years and a certain tape of Sonny helped in that story

Anthony Ruggiano has spoken about him and was interviewed by Alite and Borello.

I think that Alite’s most interesting exploit was surviving 2 yrs in that 3rd world prison in Brazil under horrific conditions. I can respect that.

Good afternoon Jeff Looking forward to your show today!!

Jeff is a great interviewer i love listening to him.

LOVE THE PODCAST....The Sitdown.. ..

Jeff- I just subscribed!

That’s a cool shirt Jeff! Great show as always

Hey Jeff, great video!! Really enjoyed it. Forgive me if I'm asking you a question that you answered I'm the video. The things about Alite and Ronnie "One Arm" being in business together between Jersey and Tampa ... Could you/were you able to substantiate that they were in fact heavily involved with each other? Of course he isn't Gotti but Ronnie is definitely a serious guy and correct me if I'm wrong but also a Captain in the family. Not sure when he was made a captain so maybe not at the time him and Alite were close. But is there dealings in fact true?

Great episode Jeff

But jeff your my favorite channel by far thanks respect!

Another good one mate as usual

Tommy Dades was a detective during the 80s and 90s and was asked if he ever heard of John Alite and he stated he had never heard Alite mentioned in any investigations please remember Tommy knows more about the mafia than any of us you may want to get an interview with him if possible he could answer alot of questions about the mafia anyway enjoyed your video.

Have u seen the Junior Gotti videos about Alite? He says he’s a coward, a snitch and much of his life as Gambino enforce was a fabrication.

Great show Jeff....

Love your RU-vid channel ❤😊

Another great episode

John Pennisi said he had an incident with Jr and reached out to the Gambinos to see what his status was, they sent word back that “ nothing doing, so do what you want with him” if we are to believe that, (and I do) that says everything you need to know abt JR. Jr and Alite like you said are both Free and doing great so in the end it worked out for both of them!

Great content mate!!

Great job!

Good ol Alite it's crazy to think this is the first time doing a video on Alite!!

Once again an unbiased opinion of these two former friends, thanks Jeff for the precise and detailed history on this hot mob topic, would I buy a used car off of either john jr or john Alite absolutely not, but I would buy one off of you Jeff... ;) I still believe John Sr would have given his kid a pass even though you told me when I asked this question (on a live stream) that senior would have clipped him, I respect your opinion immensely but still think otherwise, great job son.

Great show!! Love the tic toc stuff also

This idea of breaching Mob protocol doesn’t hold up. Yes taking the oath is more serious, but all criminals aren’t supposed to talk to law enforcement or snitch on anyone. That’s just universal street code.

Thanks Jeff, brilliant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

That was awesome when Jeff got alite on the phone when Danny trio made up that story about him classic

He had street cred in the neighborhood...

Great video

Love the show

You're absolutely right !! He didn't know about the hit ! He was just an associate !!.. just a tool ! He didn't participate ! Thank you, Jeff ! Amazing Sit-down !! I learned many facts from you , keep it high ,Sir

Amazing show as always Jeff. Just closed on my first home and am ecstatic. No better way to enjoy the evening than with a great story told by you and nice glass of bourbon. Saluté to all.

Another fantastic broadcast. I think the term "faction" can be applied to John Alite. Facts with some fiction added. I will not say that he's an out and out liar, but I triple question everything that I hear. Shout out to Jeff "To The Left" Nadu.

I don’t think it’s wild to think John gotti sr at least knew of John Alite and smiled shook his hand when they were in close proximity

My God, I tuned into this to hear about John, White, not about the goddamn Fitbod but I know you need to make that bread Homie

Great show .Enjoyed.Alite interesting fellow.

Excellent video . Very interesting. Just one thing about the Paul Castalano hit ….. John Alite never said he had prior and/or independent knowledge about the hit . He said “ John Jr told him about it , because he liked to brag” FYI . Keep up the good work brother.

Supposedly the hitters didn't know about the hit till the night before but they are gonna tell a friend of lil Johns ?

John Gotti jr was only half Italian

I think you need to do more research on Alite there brotha. Fresh off the beginning saying Gotti Sr. not saying Alite is a shooter, why do you think he was always with Gotti Jr? There’s so much video evidence of Alite hanging with both Sr and Jr. Seems logical that Sr wanted Alite to look out for Jr because Jr clearly isn’t a killer. Alite by most accounts of legit street guys is a legit tough guy. People hate or try to call bs out of either jealousy, allegiance to his enemies, or simply just contrarians.

Getting good at those ads, Nadu. Felt pretty natural. Good job.

It's KNOWN Jr was involved with Coke. EVERYONE in those days who was looking to make money back then was.

Watching for the second time...his story was interesting to say the least... 😂

well done

Jeff how about one on Gus alex(Chicago)and mad dog Sullivan and his ny colosseum handler John Sullivan (genovese)

New subscriber 🎉

All the guys on the hit on big paul didnt even know who was being hit until the night it actually went down. They knew someone was getting hit but they didn't know who.

Alite was kind of 'associtated', but he was never as connected (esp to Senior) as he wants ppl to believe. He was a neighborhood guy and barring the Albanian ancestry thing, he reminded you a lot of Bevilacqua in the Sopranos. He wanted to play gangster WAY too much. He wasnt afraid to use his fists, or a bat and I've no doubt he'd prob. have whacked someone if any real wiseguy asked him to, but why would they? He was a street guy, but not in the sense he tells ppl he was. Hes been told to shut his mouth a LOT..for talking out of turn. Nm look at the Calandra story, of their being in jail. He praised him all over, hoping Jimmy would be as much a glorywhore as him and lie, but when he didnt, he said Calandra was lying. After Senior was sent away, there were a lot of younger guys like him who could never have gotten to John who hung around ppl Junior knew, and Junior himself, wanting to appear Mafia, but they simply were not.

On one of jhon alite podcast video he leterally show fbi surveillance footage of him bing around the higherarchy of the gambino crime family

Brazil is in South America and Cuba is in the Caribbean

You have too be tough to survive prison in Brazil. I lived there.

Great video and information, but I can’t listen to the word substantiate ever again lol

Great!🎉 GJ

So true: in the 80s I grew up in a mixed neighborhood with Crips. I hung out with them, drank with them, etc. Does that make me a Crip? Nope! They were just my friends. 😉

I truly believe that Jr. tried and failed to build Alite up as his Joe Watts.

You do work. You try and remain unbias. You don't talk bs. &Stop others from talking bs. You are about what you can confirm. Its a tough spot to be in. Good job.

This is the part of you tube and podcast that we should put aside and think about, whether you like or dislike john alite the man lost his child, John i am very sorry for your loss, may Chelsea rest in peace and i pray that you find peace as a father who lost his beautiful daughter Chelsea. and back to the video, John jr. was your best man your partner in crime [ as they say] in my opinion you two were very close and i believe people under estimate how much you really knew, those are my thoughts, once again I am very very sorry for your loss. Anthony from Boston!
