Great video
@EliteBuildersOK Says:
John Gotti’s parents were certainly NOT Irish immigrants they were Italian immigrants. The Mafia has to be able to trace your roots back to the Old Country in order for you to attain membership. At the bare minimum on your father’s side.
The whole Gotti getting sunk by Gravano should never have happened. You let a guy go that confessed to 19 murders in order to convict another guy on two murders and a racketeering charge ? That would be like letting a dealer walk on a kilogram heroin charge by setting up a dealer on a couple of 8 balls of H. Straight BACKWARDS on charge severity. That’s how bad They wanted Gotti which was the actual cause of his life sentence. The government broke all protocols and every sensible rule of using informants to get convictions.
@Callmethebreeze902 Says:
You should research Carlos Marcello. He was linked to the JFK assignation ..for one Oswald’s uncle worked for him, Oswald was living in New Orleans at the time, he financed Ruby’s club, lots of little things like that. Rose Cheramie who worked for Ruby at his club was dumped in Eunice, LA frantic trying to warn people and was sent to a psych ward. He admitted it to a cell mate but he was old so nobody knew to take his word or not.
I don’t think if he did it he didn’t have help from other crime families but it’s an interesting deep dive.
@Callmethebreeze902 Says:
Didn’t they take Paul Castellano out to be the Don as he was leaving a restaurant because other members thought Gotti should be the leader.
He dressed fabulous in those Brioni custom suits. He was a little flashy and drew too much attention.

The Teflon don croaked in prison 😂
@chrisj2991 Says:
Get your facts RIGHT before making a video
@johnmassoud930 Says:

@user-mc8cm7ug2x Says:
It suppose too be a secret society well U don't go walking around NY with $2000 suit's on
@CaptainKirkDiggler Says:
1:34 Irish!? You have to be Italian. That's like saying Tutankamun was from Cleveland. This is what happens when you try to make a video every 2 days... "F". Try harder.
@karelvdstaar1183 Says:

@stevestarscream5182 Says:

@AC-te9dr Says:
This guy is full of bunk . Wrong information and simple minded
@henryscots6615 Says:
Irish immigrant?

@user-uw2hw5mc3z Says:
Gotti was Italian, not Irish… and Castelano was his brother in law, not his cousin.
@ConnorHolbrook419 Says:
Lewisburg was 100% a crime college back then, especially for Italians. That was the home base for Italians in the Federal system
@paulwilliams2024 Says:
Irish immigrants. Gotti is of Italian descent. How do you make a mistake like this
@matthu1978 Says:

@EricDahlstrom-zy8kp Says:
It's odd that he's the face of the mafia
@willmac6253 Says:
Gotti is not Irish!
@--enyo-- Says:
I first heard of him on ‘Empires of New York’. It was a really good look (especially for a non-US person) of the big personalities and general zeitgeist of New York in the 80’s.
@briandoss9232 Says:
Well they come for you eventually!
@mariellebussey9106 Says:
Every time I hear John Gotti, I think of that office episode. Forever lives in my head 😂
@jonathangraves7503 Says:
Please do one on Carlo Gambino please.... There's not much out there. But I know why 🤫
@ethankerr05 Says:
you missed the part when he went after mario and luigi for owing him 200k and a swimming pool
@shannonways Says:
His father was Italian and his mother was half Italian, half Russian. Where did the Irish come from? 😆
@maxlumens9085 Says:
Irish immigrants?
@hopoff9968 Says:
Going 3-0 against the FBI is a very impressive feat, had it not been for Sammy the Bull he might have gone 4-0.
@jamesdyble7468 Says:
Irish?!
@FrankieWilde2021 Says:
Gambino was in a coma when he died from being shot on orders from Joe Gallo
@uiu510 Says:
I guess from now on we all shall call him Irishman Gotti. 🤣
@dannymeades6474 Says:
Gotti was everything a real gangster hated let's be honest
@gerilagee6388 Says:
I think, you mean 2nd generation Italian !!!!! Not IRISH?‽
@jeremylee8844 Says:
His parents were Italian immigrants not Irish immigrants
