About Stephen “The Devil” French
Drug dealers beware. The Devil is coming to get you.
Stephen French invented the perfect crime: robbing drug barons of their huge fortunes. In SAS-style swoops, The Devil raided their fortified mansions and tortured them with horrifying violence until they paid up. Through “taxing” the richest and most powerful crime-lords in the UK, he netted over £20 million.
The Devil was no ordinary criminal. He was a world-champion fighter, who studied psychology at university to master mind-control techniques, and he used the teachings of Machiavelli and samurai warriors to outwit his enemies. He also had a complex relationship with Curtis Warren, the wealthiest criminal in British history. The two were childhood pals, then partners and finally bitter enemies.
Stephen is now an author, public speaker and activist.

Stephen french used to extort money out of people by going round for his tea and staying all night telling them stories 😂
@@jayrorschach2247 hahahaha
So true I was thinking that after 30 minutes in I could see Shaun sighing looking as if he was giving up the will to live 🤣
😂😂
If you can watch this interview start to finish, you pass SAS selection.
The best interviews are when the host shuts up and let's the interviewee talk and tell their stories. In this one Shaun nailed it.
Yeah yeah
stephen french looking like christmas wrapping paper.
Hahahahahaha
That was very funny ! You made my day.
@Ian Concannon look on the bright side brother, remember al capone from the 1920's? its when america cancelled / banned alcohol, you had a thing called speak easy, secret bars for secret members, the same thing will happen again in the 2020's but only this time in the form of Christmas celebration or birthday parties or any parties.
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, Yeah...Yeah, Yeah Right....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Right, Right, Right, Right.....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Right...
Whole interview summed up🤣🤣🤣
@Paula M Who took the jam out of your donut? Can't take a little joke...
@Paula M Jesus Christ take a joke...bet your the type of person that writes to ofcom when theres a bit of cleavage on TV. I wasn't poking fun at him because he has a speech impediment, i was merely making a joke (you know as comedians do, to try and have a laugh). Stop being a Karen, the world is shit enough as it is.
@Paula M grow up
@Paula M right keyboard warrior arent you haha
Wonder what would happen if Shaun screamed "NO!!!!" right after Frenchy said "yeah, yeah right?"
HAAAAAAAHAAAA HILARIOUS
Funny that!
He'd most probably get his face burst open
Steven I was in risley with you and you were always up for a chat I walked the yard with you talking and I heard you with my own ear trying to encourage the young lads to turn their backs on crime 💯 I'm Douglas good listening to you again 😎 keep one step ahead of the the system and they can't crush your dreams
You know It is Britain when you hear that a gangster goes to court to sort their legal issues with other gangsters.
Shaun my man do yourself a favour and invest in a more comfortable chair those 3 hours must have been a real stretch in the thing you're sitting on. Mad respect my dude 👍
Nearly 4 fucking hours ffs😩
French was real. My old man lived in Toxteth in the late 80s. He saw Frenchy go into a gaff on Lime St and beat a known dealer outside his stash house
First ever suit made of 100% kitkat wrappers 😂😂
"Me, Curtis Wareen and.....Yasser Arafat" Haha was not expecting that name to be thrown in there 🤣
What's the time stamp
Purple Aki's bestie
pair of wrongun ,, took him to task ,, joker
Ye ye right
All personas of Various power ARE..!!!
@@shogun...... good luck with that you keyboard warrior 💯🤡
“I always wear a suit Shawn “
Yeah, yeah right?
Apparently Mr. French here was a bit of a bully when he was imprisoned in Albany, he tried to steal the commissary from an Irish man who just entered the prison only to get smashed up by the Irish man who used a tin of peaches to rearrange his face, he stopped his bullying after that life lesson.
hahah
Just hope the Irishman never got charged with breach of the peach 🍑. 😁
Would love to of seen that
Never mate him but can’t stand him
I love tin peach but Frenchy not so much
Why would anyone waste ta energy on that lad, fucking bs
Drinking game:- you take a shot everytime he says yeh yeh right
Yeah, right!!!
Im hammered 3 minutes in 🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Alcohol poisoning after 2 minutes.
ossified after 4 minutes.
after a ten year run addicted to crack, I'm only a week into sobriety, and as I listen to your episodes while I struggle to sleep, I often find myself dreaming that I'm in jail and these stories are being told to me by my cellmate. it's a fuckin trip, sometimes it's nightmarish, sometimes the stories are being told to me by crazy fucks from my own past; on this particular day, I dreamt I was in a posh cell, fully furnished , a total fantasy vision of prison...the funniest part is when these stories are told and the person I see in my dream is a person, a criminal friend, from my own past. It really is a trip. I'm 41 now, goin on 50, a criminal-outlaw since the age of 4 or 5, believe it or not...and although, I've earned a Master's degree, I have talent, skills, here I am at rock bottom..alone, in debt, struggling to figure out how all this gets put back together. Do I have story to tell, would anyone listen...who the fuck knows, who the fuck would care anyway HA! Here's to you Shaun. Thank you for helping me get through the night.
How you getting on brother?
So you’ve got out of prison and you fantasise about being back in prison 😂 come on now
Go on man respect just happens to be watching this now and ya comment stood out speak ya mind say it how it is no worries with that brother cheers
I am trying to beat crack too keep going we will both get there good luck mate respect
I would listen
🇦🇺 🇦🇺
You know what. I’ve slagged him off I felt he had a bad showing on James English. However, he gets my support on the missing kids, political cover ups and sick elite agendas.
Looks in better frame of mind here.
@Scott Fraser he did say that now he does not want talk about his past, that is what he said before saying he has already answered all that can be answered and he states he wants to focus on turning things into positive things. A lot of people though do like to listen about the darker days and he said he done it this time just so the american side of the audience knew but wants the future to focused on
even a broken clock is right twice a day
@@shogun...... Not really :) A clock that has stopped will be correct at least twice a day, a broken clock can be one that is an hour behind or that has its movement speed in balanced :) understand what you mean though
"Guess who was Leonidas? That would be me! Yeah, yeah, right!" XD
Nobody in Liverpool had even heard of him till a few years ago he just came out of nowhere and he's supposed to be a legend?
Synopsis: Sociopath interviews himself
agreed
Yep yeah yeah yeah right!
@@kinny369 ok yeah right OK yeah OK right🤦♂️
Listen erm. Right listen erm
Amongst the most honest reply on TH-cam this year
Eat a fun size Snickers every time he says "yeah" and drink a quarter can of beer every "right"
I think I’d be in a coffin at the end
When you haven't had much sleep, and you're chilling watching this. And an ad kicks in. Arrrggg
It's a hard life lol
Governor Sherwood retired bout 18mth ago
I thoroughly enjoyed that, the time flew by. Like your style Shaun of letting the guest get his say without interrupting but if it gets laboured you interject and get it back on track, not necessarily this one just in general.
Shaun is skilled and doing that.
The time flew by for you? What were you in a time machine?
No matter how many times you have to reupload Shaun I’ll still listen all ye way through
You deserve a medal, I couldn’t get past 3mins of this waffle
i know like torture in it,, ermm righ right ermm rught right ermm ermm ermm liten right right erm
Yeah, yeah right.
Yeah yeah that's a great interview yeah, yeah I really enjoyed it yeah ❤
Saw this guy on Danny Dyer talking about reform. Few months later he went to jail. Does he think he’s impressing people or something? Talks so much bollocks half of the time
Amen there is nothing wrong with being a soldier for the most high
The " yeah, yeah right " Devil
I love Shauns laid back interview style. No rush. He lets ppl talk. Keep up the good work!
Met him in person, we spoke for 3hrs.
What a guy.
is that how long it took you to give him the slip
I love the way Shaun allows the intervieee to express themselves by being totally focused on that individual You can see they trust him
Yeah right
He had no choice on this one 😅
express themselves? this muddyfunster never stops lad
@@daveywhyte6254😂😂😂
The guys got a speech impediment, take that away from the podcast and he actually has a good tale to tell.
Yeah? Oh yeah yeah yeah!
Keep coming back to this when you need reminding that there's people with bigger issues out there.
Imagine without his notes, that's off the net. He's is trying not to laugh 🤣🤣🤣
The Gypsy on the pier who spoke to Stephen, if it was North pier, was my Grandma, she read palms etc for 90yrs on the pier n in the Winter Gardens.
she read my palm and somethings came true not all but some
Wouldn’t fancy asking him for directions if I was lost.
This was a great podcast. The best podcasts/interviews are the ones where you let the guy speak instead of constantly interrupting them. I feel like Shawn does that really well and therefore gets the best out of whoever he is interviewing. Stephen French is a very intelligent man, and I'm glad he is mentally stable in his life and is wanting to do good.
He’s a pensioner with a bad cocaine habit.
Thank you. Watching and Listening from Alaska.
Even though I am from US, it's interesting that I can actually follow this story.
When a person is street wise you understand.
Shaun brought out the best in SF, this interview is INFINITELY better than the Scottish guy's interview "yeah, yeah yeah, right!".
Shaun let the man get a word in will ya yeah yeah yeah yeah right right . Wow man you got the patience of a saint . At least all us lot can get up and do things . Bless ya tho mate love your channel and your activism keep the fight going my man .
I wasn't keen on Stephen when i first watched him around five years back. For some reason I decided to watch this a few months ago n actually enjoyed listening to his stories. Now Im back again watching him. Hes an interesting man. I wish him all the best in his endeavours.
Yeah right
yeah yeah , right
Erm Frenchie wanted another 3 hours to tell his story,,yes right, Right yes yes right erm yes right yes
Im 66 this summer never thought id get to that age bloody amazin when i sit and think
i’m glad to see you are both awake to how the government works 👌

Cheers for the re re upload, just watching it now. And thank you Frenchy for sharing your story fascinating story.
I kept turning right now I'm lost in the middle of nowhere

I’ll build a roundabout for you. 😂
Shaun massive respect to you, your book and shows. Seriously this man is a tool. Full of nonsense.
It’s great to hear you are turning your life around ! Congrats ! God Bless you!
Really good interview . thank you for sharing 😊
yeh yeh errr right, i was going to turn this off but i was addicted to the "yeah" like a crack head to the pipe. Always waiting for the next "YEAH"
“Yeah yeah right” 😂 sorry I couldn’t help myself. Please don’t disappear me 😂
Watched this both times you uploaded mate 👍 Keep up the good work Shaun 👌
How did you manage to get through it
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi yeah yeah right right yeah yeah
Shaun got patience
Good luck Mr French.. On your charity for men. We need it.. Pal.. Been there falsely.. Accused.... Its hell... Especially when it's all a stitch up.
This guy has an interesting story as most of these 1%ers do, and I like his take on (lives matter) that's the way I see it as well!
He must of said yea right bout 1000 times in 3 hours
Stephen the scrapyard story ties in with Paul Grimes first encounter with Curtis Warren
@ his scrapyard
As mentioned in his book Powder Wars ......................................................
brilliant interview. no reason for Frenchy to be telling fibs. he’s been through a ton and is now in his 60s!
60's really? He looks great for 60
He speaks in riddles

Europe's left-wing Globalist leaders are spending billions every year to increase Africa and Asia's population and spending nothing for the white minority population.
"Today, Africa's population is around 1.3 billion; by 2100 it’s projected to more than triple to 4.3 billion.....
Europe is the only region where population is expected to fall - today its population stands at around 747 million; by 2100 this is projected to fall to 630 million."
Asia has experienced rapid population growth. Today its population stands at around 4.6 billion. By 2050 it’s expected to rise to 5.3 billion"

The hours have flew by while watching this, great video shaun
Coz you fell asleep?
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi HAHA :D nah Never grow bored of listening to stories regarding the pool
@@friarbishme thats all they are.. stories.. guys a pathological liar mate
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi Like he has said himself most of what he claims can be confirmed online on way or another, and i know that he is being honest about his early life in the pool as my family came from the exact same area of the pool, also he is correct on the only way to beat the system and get justice is by learning in depth the way the system operates and the vague guidelines they do it in, also not only useful for actions against police, politicians and the likes but helped me doing the same when my daughter faced being punished and removed from college for reasons which are down to her ADHD (poor concentration and being restless which would at times irritate the teacher), only through researching both the symptoms of the illness and equal rights had i learnt that to be told off and punished is discrimination (which is pretty obvious) but also that their had been failings in providing the adequate support required, even after telling them at a meeting i was told it was not true that it is discrimination, they had to accept it when i gave them official documents as proof. i know its different than taking officials to higher courts but the main principle of researching things in depth and do not rely on others to protect your rights. All the best :)
@@friarbishme my co d's are from tok, I'm from l4. I spent time inside with people who worked with him and friends of his. His stories are fabricated.. as told by real Liverpool gangsters
Sounds like he’s been on the pipe for two weeks straight
He has a stammer. Ye ye ye right ok
Yea with lugar in hand
Imagine being on an armed blag with him?! Ggggggg g g get y y y yer fer fer fer fer fuckin ands up yer yer yer right.
stephen " yea yea right" french
I just wanna say one thing.... Yea yea yea yea right?
take a drink every time he says yea yea
Fk no. I'd have alcohol poisoning in the first 2 minutes
I'm suffering with early stages of dementia I think Steven needs love were all fucked but he was a proper gentleman to my mother
I got to 6:17 yeah yeah right. How would the people inside the club know that happened when you was locking it up? Putting chains on the door!?
"well ard" in a Hale and Pace voice
😆
😂skid marks an no marks 😅 love it 😂😂
That interview was great. It's a pity that Stephen wasn't still doing a bit of charlie. This would have been 3 times longer. 😂😂🤣. Good luck to the guy in all he aims for 👍🏽✌🏽🍻
Love it where he says he in seg and he starts to recite that poem, then he reads the whole poem out, then says well I got a few words in and bang!
After watching many of these interviews, I'm starting to think that these criminals might be stretching the truth just a tiny bit.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah right?
Only they are not.
Yeah yeah right. Apart from him chasing 300 guys down the street yeah yeah yeah I've chased 999 people down the street before
@@No1Melody I can guarantee you wud he shocked the majority are deluded an created a false self image cus they are unable to accept there own mundane existence.
@@phuckewe5876 l🤣🤣
@@phuckewe5876 the Grafton haven't heard that in ages omg
And when Stephen French says he chased Tommy Gilday down west Darby road he's chatting sh*t it was Tommy who chased him and then he knocked Stephen French clean out Tommy was the hardest guy in Liverpool before he died ye ye ye right !
Grow up lad
Alberto Owens told a less than flattering story about him in his book.Plus he’s a well known racist.
Alberto You believe him about what?
No one gives a shit about Liverpool gansters except people from Liverpool. They're irrelevent.
No1 is the hardest in any town. People get dropped down a peg everyday so to say he was lien is not fair. It could of well happened . We're you there like gangster
Shaun said about 5 words haha
He raised some valid points
i was locked up in hmp preston in 2013....stephen french is a good guy i spoke to him a few times and he is a good judge of character....i saw no arrogance or attitude in him he was polite and respectful and knows about other cultures and values/traditions......i was very suprised.....although known as the devil i only saw a good trying to redeem himself
When he sais 'yeah right' it sounds like someome else saying it lol
Dude.....wtf.....that is some funny shit. As soon as I read your comment I just see a cracked out Craig Charles hiding just out of cam range saying......YEAH! YEAH! RIGHT.... Good shit mate!!!
Yeah that whistle you heard was probably Andrew. I know some close minded people will label you crazy. But When my Granda died, granny went soon after. She wasn't that old, just died of a broken heart really. Anyway, she came back after she had died. She spoke to her sons wife just as she rose out of bed in the morning. I know of 4-5 similar stories just from my wider family. That sort of thing can happen. Probably your pal allowed one last chance to say don't worry, I love yah.
That wistle is every tight mates call lol
Yawn, this one went over my head. I prefer a two way conversation .
This fellas a complete helmet
@huawei thirteenmegapixel no man in a red suit is wearing me you tool
Thanks Shaun. Always interesting.
2:09:30 the juice of the podcast
Just like Shaun, i have read a lot of books, here amongst police & agents books, and being in the game myself, and a former 1% biker, i have witnessed a lot of things, i have absolutely no idea of what really is going on with him and the child case, but over the years, i have begun to see a parten, amongst the toughest guys i know of, and it always happens when they actually starts to slow down, it is hard to explain, so i will tell it as I see it, or what i believe is going on with these high up guys...
I literally think that the police is behind it All...
They know how are close to you, they know who is weak, they have all the information they need, and what Talks better than Money, especially to a person whom despises you, it's like those bastards are just like ;
- We Hate Him So Much
- Now He's Gonna Get It
- And Get He Will
I don't know if this is true, but i've seen it so many times, of course in different ways...
- Stay Blessed -
- Peace -
🙏❤✌
Your contributions to the philosophy regarding how we can believe and convince ourselves sadly to be em em em bear with me , no lost were I was going em em yeh yehh yeahh,find the local college loads of information you can pull and use, fiction books have a50% discount.😂😂😂
His inner Ego keeps agreeing with him self. But hats of he has found away to control his impediment.
Amazing interview Stephen and Shaun. Love to hear one between Stephen and Darren. Great things can happen here 🙏🏼
He's a legend - top man
I think personally there needs to be people who really went from nothing to something from doing something they enjoyed apart from being in the streets. In the UK the knife crime scene is at it highest since 2011! Nearly everyday someone is getting stabbed! I think everyone needs to try and spread a message about trying to lower rates? I know it will never stop it will be a never ending argument. But I think people like Shaun and James English who have a very wide audience need to try and get Top Athletes such as AJ, Fury, Darren Till! there’s a lot of People I can name! Our future is not going to be as productive or safe. There is a lot of extremely good young talent everywhere! But they all get dragged into the streets. AJ he’s been brought up around the streets of London. With a incident he went through he was guided through a boxing gym, he kept himself to his self and not getting involved with the streets, later on in life he’s now a world champion! I think people like AJ , Fury, Till would be good people to try and spread the message of putting down a knife as they are very good role models. Meanwhile Darren Gee has a lot of haters and a lot of supporters but nobody can fault him for trying to spread the message of putting down a knife. People like UK Rap Artists need to try and spread a lot of knife crime awareness. It’s getting out of hand. Where I live in a small town up north even kids that are about 12-13 are carrying knifes around!
I’m passionate about trying to spread the message of knife crime I just don’t know where to go with it!
New drinking game take a shot every time Stephen say's 'Yeah Yeah Right''
