Remember those tapes I said I had in my attic? I found the mother load today while digging out my X-mas tree. The first one I popped in had 6 hours of A&E stuff, mostly Gambino. I popped in the second one and when I hit play, I saw Sawyers face. I can't believe I have had this all along and I had no idea. I'm converting it now and I'll upload it tonight. The first copy I'll put up is not that good. I have access to better equipment to convert it but for now I'm just using my Lap top and some mickey mouse software so the video is grainy and "bouncy" but the audio is clear. I'll eventually get a good copy up but for now I just want to get something for you guys to see. Should be sometime after dinner by the time I convert it, edit it into 15 min blocks and upload it.

same YT account name?

Here is the link to my youtube account

I will embed the video here in this post when I get it up.


Whats funny is that I'm watching it here as I convert it and none of it looks familiar
I don't think I've ever watched it before.

That video is not the one with Gravano with Sawyer. It's about something else.

That is just the link to my channel. I haven't finished uploading the video yet. It's processing. It'll be up in a few hours.

Part 1

Part 2

It's pretty blurry. Although, I did get most of it. Thanks Little Frankie Boy!

Yup, the copy I have has lived in a box in my dusty uninsulated attic eves for 15 years. I'm surprised it came out this good I might be able to clean it up later but not without a LOT of work so I figured this was better than nothing.

Just watched it again. I don't think mobsters or former mobsters should be talking to the government or talking to the news. They chose the life, so they should live it. Don't talk about it.

Dude,you are a fricking god.Many have been searching for this interview for years.Thanks alot.

cudos to you brother for posting this!

Thanks a bunch, Frankie.


By the way, the daughters of some of the guys Sammy killed still irritate the hell out of me. They sit there acting like they know what the heck was going on or like their fathers held some kind of moral high ground over Gravano. It's news to Dina Milito her dad was a murderer also? No shit. The wives and daughters are usually gonna be the last to know.

And don't get me started on those slimy defense lawyers.

Bowing to pay homage... thanks so much... this is beyond money...

Perfectly put, Ivy.

These women repulse me (and not just because they're so homely ).

Amen brother!

just watched the whole interview it was really good i enjoyed it

i know the govt must have been super pissed that sammy went back to a life of crime in Arizona and went back in the can, i know gaspipe said he saw him in jail and he looked like a dying aids patient or something like that i wonder if sammy has crossed paths with any other lcn guys

Nice job, Little Frankie. Thanks for the upload and welcome to the boards .

Man, I remember watching that back in '97 like it was yesterday. They were promoting "Underboss" like crazy at the time.

I, too, had it on a VHS tape somewhere, but it got lost in the shuffle somewhere. Not that I would have been able to convert it and upload it, anyway .

Well to be fair Ivy if it was your father killed by Gravano you would probably be pissed too and rightly so. Also Gravano not only got a sweet deal but he made money talking about the murders of their fatgers. Now i'm not defending milito,dibernardo,or debatt since they chose that life. but like Rosanne massa (Mike debatt's sister} said that they weren't altar boys but their lives still had meaning to their families

A friend of mine said he has a copy of this too on VHS. He has it on the same VHS tape the movie GOTTI and WITNESS TO THE MOB is on. It's about the same quality. Some VCR's won't even play it. That's cool it's up on YOUTUBE now. Thanks again Little Frankie Boy! Gravano had plastic surgery to disguise himself then he went and gave the interview for everyone to see. Not very Smart at all.

great upload, thanks a ton little frankie! Welcome aboard!

I thought the issue was his surgery wasn't to disguise himself in the first place.

I do side with the daughters in their objective of wanting to sue Gravano

LNM, It was part of the reason I think.

even with the surgery it just fixed his nose a little and a little tuck he still looks the same pretty much as before he got it if you look at the vids of him

Daps, yep, he didn't change all that much. He still looked like Sammy.

Them being personally angry at Gravano is understandable. However, if you've seen the interviews these women have given in the past - and not just this one, they act like their fathers were basically hard working, OK guys who maybe just knew some bad people, and then this big awful monster named Sammy Gravano came along and killed them.

But, as the FBI agent in the video says, these guys were all mob members and associates. They chose to be in the life, they knew the risks, and some of them were killers themselves. In fact, if I remember correctly, Milito was involved in one of Sammy's 19 murders. It was Milito, I believe, who stood over the guy and shot him in both eyes.

In short, they're pissed at Sammy for killing their fathers or brothers - even though their fathers and brothers were cut from the same cloth as the guy they're pissed at.
