Good info Louie

John Pennisi mentions Barry in his podcast. He mentions a meeting with the west side in coney island.

You won’t get a better YouTube channel with first hand experiences of organised crime right now, he’s just dropped his memories on Roy demeo...

People were screaming out for this exact thing here for years - Sammy the Bull talking like this - it happens, and I can’t believe some people are now questioning either how good it is, or how can we prove what he’s saying etc etc....ffs, just enjoy it for what it is...true crime recollections from a guy that was there..

This isn’t physics we’re dealing with where it’s a binary yes/no answer to every story you’ve ever heard...the guy obviously isn’t a bullshitter.

I think we are lucky (as OC interested people) to have this information directly from him. It’s never happened before...

A lot of these stories are in Gravanos FBI 302s...

The Demeo story about the old people was in Gravano’s book. Other than that he didn’t mention anything we didn’t already know. Although I did laugh when he said Roy asked him to work out in the club while their captains were talking business

Loving his channel, realy enjoyable. Feels totally bullshit free as well. How sincere he sounded on how weary he was of Demeo.

If you had told me even a year ago this would be happening, I would’ve thought you were crazy...

People get used to good things very quickly, then start to disregard them...human nature

That story about Demeo and his crew picking random guys off the street to kill and dismember them just to "keep the crew sharp" really took me aback. What a scumbag

That was shocking

There was also a story in Albert Demeo’s book that the crew went on a hunting trip upstate and as they were driving just shot a bunch of cows so yeah they they seemed to enjoy killing anything

I think that was the twins with a full auto and roy had to pay off the farmer who owned the cows. One of the feds said that Castellano had nothing to worry about with Demeo ratting. They would never had made a deal with someone that sick. Fast forward six years and they give Gravano the deal of a lifetime. 20 vs 200 is still 20 more people that should be killed. The feds make up their own rules. The justice f system needs reform. Eye for an eye shit, public executions!

1 thing i caught in gravanos new demeo video was when him in demeo where in jimmy browns club talking about the weights sammy says jimmy brown was a serious capo a heavy guy thats a 180 from all the personal shit sammy was talking about him in his book he wrote in 1996. he was talking alot of shit about jimmy brown more then anyone else in that book. i found out threw reading in the last few years jimmy brown was full boat going to kill sammy whole crew after he flipped and only gooti sr, stopped him so im guessing that all got back to sammy from informants or agents so he talked all that shit in the book about him. jimmy brown also went to gotti and gotti sided with brown when sammy was trying to get into his garbage racket

Gravano didn't praise Jimmy Brown, he said he was a serious captain...which is the truth

I've read sammy's book, all his 302 and everything in between. So far his YT vids are just regurgitating old stories with maybe a few tidbits extra. He's not as bad as Franzese who only speaks in generalities. But he's not giving us those gold nuggets we crave. We need an experienced mob buff asking him questions.

He puts the Alite and Franzese to shame. They should pack up and go home. Franzese is critiquing mob movies and all his religious bs. Best bumper sticker ever. Born right the first time. And Alite the international gangster with his suits and cigars.

Sammy's definitely the best storyteller out of the three. Franzese is a good speaker, but he doesn't know how to craft an interesting story and he barely provides anything.
Alite is just painful and even if he used to be a legit street guy in his videos comes across as a local wannabe actor who wants to get roles in B-grade low budget gangster flicks. He provides even less than Franzese does and the fact that he cliqued up with a wife-beating junkie bum like Borrello tells you all you need to know.

Anyone know if he has discussed the details of how he lent the Bonannos usage of his club for the Three capo murders?

I haven’t listened to all of them yet and his topic for each video is vague

@ItalianIrishMix. No not yet that I’m aware of. Most of the stories have been from his book although he goes into a bit more detail on them.

I agree...Gravano is by far the best of them and the only one I subscribe too...Every video of his is intriguing...You almost know what Franzese is gonna say every video...He was the biggest money maker, he only got involved because of his father, his brother's a junkie, and of course, trying constantly to convince people he's not a rat, which a lot of suckers believe !!

Which one does he talks about the big Paul hit?

Yep, that's Franzese's content in a nutshell.

The DJ Vlad interviews with Franzese are the absolute worst though. That Vlad guy is so clueless, it's comical. Almost like he's doing it on purpose.
"So a captain is above a capo, right?" Lol gtfo

Lol...What a great job of doing research before an interview !!

Does anyone really believe that? These guys were evil enough without needing to make up stories like that.

I don't know if its true or not but that ex fbi agent, Ruffles said Demeo killed a lot of innocent people !!

Another good video from Gravano today...

Even though it can be argued that he wasn't made when that Westchester scam went down...Gambino was still alive then, no ?? Gravano wasn't made till Castelanno was boss, right ??

Anyway's, its probably 90% accurate and again, more intriguing and a different story every day then a Franzese..

Btw, even if Fratianno was a stool pigeon, he's one of the best interviews there was...Just like you are Sammy

Carlo died in October. Sammy was made after that in 76. Theater didn't go bankrupt until 77 so it's possible

The trial for the Westchester Premier Theater was in late 78. Fratianno only had a year run as acting Boss. It's possible.
