welcome to the future of youtube thanks to AI we will get this effortless content from some program... even a lot of thumbnails are AI... hopefully youtube stops this crap and force all this AI content out of here. Videos are so much better when the creator actually puts effort into them.

From David A. Wood: No offense to you all at TH-cam, because I really do love your various mini-documentaries and I want to see more of them, but I have to grudgingly agree with "@questlove514" in that when you mispronounce the names of the various subjects described within your otherwise informative video, you unintentionally undercut your own authority on your particular subject. For instance, the late New York City Mob Family Boss Gaetano "Thomas" or "Tommy Brown" Lucchese's name was/is actually pronounced "Loo-kay-zee," not "Loo-chess-see." Other than that minor error, I enjoyed your video on the leadership history of New York City's "Five Families" very much! To the good folks at TH-cam, "Please do collectively keep up your good work!" That having been said, it is my earnest wish that you collectively do not see my intentionally helpful criticism as having been purposely mean-spirited at your expense! I most definitely did not intend my mild criticism to be construed as such, and therefore it is my genuine wish that you all at TH-cam have yourselves a really nice evening (Tuesday, July 25, 2023).
You are so horribly wrong, it's not funny. Try educating yourself on the subject before commenting on a video. Making yourself look like a complete idiot.😂😂😂😂
wrong, the mafia are sicillian not italian. the sicillians did italians a favour by bringing in italians during the castellamarese war because they needed muscle. the bone head italians met this criteria very well.
@@Rome274 it all depends who you talk to. a member of the italian gov't would rightly say sicily is part of italy. on the other hand if you talk to a sicillian they see themselves as sicillian not italian. in europe the italians look down their noses at sicillians calling them hillbillies and peasants. however in new york in the mafia sicillians look down their noses at italians. in the new york mafia if you are of sicillian descent you rise faster in the mafia family than if you were of italian descent. thats a fact.
Thats hilarious how they're describing all these real life people and their activities while showing specific scenes from all those movies as if they were who and what they were describing 😂😂😂😂😂
I work in construction contracting in New York City. The mob is still heavily involved with bid-rigging. They don’t run the garbage business, but they own a lot of the major players.
@@theindestructible. say a business needs it’s trash hauled. They’ll receive maybe 5 bids. The mob will own 3 of the companies, or all 5 if they can pull it off. They’ll drive up the price that way. They don’t bomb businesses anymore but fight extremely dirty against rival bidders and use connections to get their bids thrown out. I once had to research garbage companies for a hospital in the Bronx. The top three were all owned by the same old Italian guy in Massapequa.
I always hear about how the Gambino family was the most powerful but this is incorrect the Genovese crime family has always been the largest and most powerful crime family.
Gigante became unofficially "capo di tutti capi" after the arrest of Joe Massino, who for a few years in the 90s and early 2000s had build the Bonanos to become the most powerful among the families. Gotti's love of limelight weakened the Gambinos (and also the Genoveses to some extent)
Man nobody ever had the tittle of bosses of bosses after 1931, that was only a media thing calling the most known mobster of the time Capo de tutti capi, nobody was ever chairman of the commission.
Not sure what you're talking about but it's well-known that Vincent the chin the real power in New York after Paul castellano hit.. Never Joe M at any point.. At the time the bonanno were even kicked off the commission that's why they weren't part of the commission trial.. Family was looked at as a bunch of cowboys and jokes.. While Joe did build the family up he was never a top off of anything at all.. All the power in New York was held by chin since 1985 until his death in 2012..
Luciano RETIRED to Italy; in WW2 he made a deal with Gen. Wm. Donovan, chief of the OSS, to ensure Italian military co-operation. Part of the deal was him retiring to Italy post-war. Hoover and the U.S. A-G had a major fit over it, Donovan (also a powerful Wall Street lawyer) stuck to his guns and the deal.
a capo in italian means boss. a capo is boss of a crew or group of soldiers in a mafia family. one mafia family is made up of a number of crews or groups each headed up by a capo. some capos are refered to as lieutenants.
Anyone notice 8:43 when the video talks about bookmaking operations the background footage is literally someone manufacturing a book. Was this video made by bad AI?
@@DaveSCameron there are rules in cosa nostra ie the american mafia. one of them is that no made guy must have a mustache. this rule originated from lucky luciano as he resented the old timers in the mafia and they usually had long handlebar mustaches. mustache pete is meant to be derogatory to the old time mafia guys. i will give you some home work to do look at all the made mafia guys after say 1960. not one has a mustache. now go and do your home work and check it out.
As an Italian who's name has a lot of vowels that anglos can't quite handle, I respect how well the A.I. voice-over bot did with some of the Sicilian and Italian surnames.
Is there a reason that you have a picture of Albert Anastasia with the words "Still Active" on top of him? You do realize that he died some 70 years ago huh?

Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Class A research project!!! Special thanks to veteran mobsters/law enforcement officers/informants/civilians. Sharing personal information/criminal experiences. Making this documentary more authentic and possible. Fighting/perishing/surviving knowing certain death/debilitating wounds were often possible. Yet still advanced forward regardless of the consequences. Protecting their territories/gaining more territories/engaging in old/new criminal activities. Not a dangerous/treacherous criminal life styles. For the faint of hearted. All 5 families El Dorato was prohibition.
Amuso and Casso are the two biggest mistakes the Lucchese family have ever made. They have totally destroyed that family and I’m sure the Feds are very happy about it all - as are all the other families. Casso, especially, was always a psycho.
oh i forgot its not called mafia its called cosa nostra. i guess you are right there is nothing called mafia but there is something called cosa nostra.
I wish Cosa Nostra was never taken down by the feds. I know they are still around but not at the same level they used to exist at. Why would I want them around? Because they protected their communities rather than destroy them like gangs you see today. They did have killings but those men were part of a life that has rules and they broke those rules.
What about the guy that just got out the Feds that’s about to take over Las Vegas they said it’s a new guy that was in the Feds that got connect Darrick Leon gray I heard he has hits
The U.S. has some sort of infatuation with idolizing Caucasian gangsters while totally portraying the African American and Hispanic gangster lifestyle as terroristic, and incarcerating as many minorities as possible. As interesting and entertaining as this part of history appears to be, it's unfathomable how any of these families can still be involved in organized crime in 2023. Great video.
It’s literally because of the way the different ethnic gangs portray themselves. Most Black and Hispanic gang members are “stereotypical” minorities and do what most consider to be “blue collar crime” meanwhile the white criminals usually wear suits and do “white collar crime” (which is why the RICO statutes came about). It’s really just racism lmao
If they'd stop committing so many crimes there wouldn't be the big percentage of them in prison. Simple. More importantly, there are a lot of great movies about the black gangster lifestyle. If you cared at all you would know that. Mexican gang life media is basically dedicated to prison docs with nortenos, surenos, NF, and the Mexican mafia but that's because nobody, not even the millions of Americans with Mexican heritage in this country and many many more illegal Mexicans here have made anything good in the sense of TV or movie. Probably because they don't even like that life.
Who is “infatuated” with criminals? And how many BLACK RAPPERS Have songs about selling drugs and killing rivals and how many guns they have…. LOL it’s the same old thing the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK…..
Also, maybe TODAY somehow these Italians and Sicilians get categorized as “white” or “Caucasian” but back in the early 1900’s they were NOT WHITE and faced much discrimination in America, especially in the American South were the KKK did not welcome them and tried to drive them out… in the south especially in Louisiana the KKK routinely lynched and killed Sicilian people…
Why even do a video if you don’t know how to pronounce the names correctly? There’s a million videos that you can watch a listen to how the names are pronounced, but you still get them wrong.
You're** Sicily belongs to Italy so it's fine. The original mafia is from Sicily Italy. Many more mafias have come since them from all different countries.
This was supposed be about leaders in 2023. Instead it is a history lesson on old school mafia .
