At least he spent his last days out of jail and a Free Man! RIP Salvatore Lucania🗽
-
great video! Its crazy that we've never heard a recording of Lucky's voice! The govt. has hours of it that is locked away!
-
This was awesome… thank you! Most of us agree Lucky was numero uno, but if I could live as any of them, it would have to be Frank Costello…
-
This is fckn gold!!!! Lucky is a Legend!. He seems very introspective here, like a man with regrets of how notorious he became. . Glad he at least got some good things done, charities make you feel good, and it makes you feel like you're doing something for your fellow man/woman. 😊
-
This was great. Thank you!!
-
This was so informative. It's good to hear his final interview in his own words. Every other video I've seen about him on Youtube has been the same unverified stories being regurgitated. Thank you for posting this.
-
I've always admired and respected Charlie and Meyer. Thank you 💛 💛 for posting !!!
-
Quite a amazing story , very interesting and well put together !
-
Much respect . He did what he had to do. Although some I'll gotten he did what they said couldn't be done. Can't blame him for his peers.
-
Everybody knows Charlie was NEVER “boss of bosses”. The whole point was to put an end to that by getting rid of Masseria and Maranzano.

There is a story about Luciano that has been buried since WW2, but when the U.S. was thinking about invading Sicily they approached Charley and asked if he could put them in touch with the Italian Mafia and ask for help in pinpointing German positions, troop strengths and weapons locations and depots. Charlie agreed, and asked if, in return they would agree to let him out of a New York prison. They said "no" but did agree to move him from upstate New Yorn boondocks to the closest prison to New York City. He agreed, and then sent out the message via some Mafia couriers to the Sicilian counterparts... "Mr Luciano would consider it a personal favor if you would meet with U.S. Navy special agents and give them such assistance as they might ask for." Thereafter, the Sicilian Mafia gave valuable data about everything about the German military in their country, and so the invasion of Sicily was made immeasurably easier than otherwise might have been the case. Then, after WW2 the U.S. Navy intervened and negotiated his early release from prison, with the provision that he retire to Italy, in spite of having been born in the U.S.

Excellent...I've always said the press exaggerate the wealth and power of these gangsters... now I believe it's true
-
Luciano was a gentleman gangster, no doubt.... A gangster to the end though....
-
Luciano was a pimp in his early days, let us no forget that.
-
I wish this man was my grandfather no disrespect to my owngrandfather but who would turn down to sit with your grandfather expecting a bedtime story but before you know it it’s prohibition erea I would be first to bed and last up
-
Which game is it showing scenes from?
-
Regardless how I feel about lucky as far as the snitching, you still did a great job. Great visuals as well. Idk where you found those diggers. Hopefully you can dive deeper into that Masonic talk. That was interesting he admitted that.
-
😮 @ The mason connection... EDIT: I actually believe this interview to be credible, or at least with real info to say the least.. It is true, there is a huge masonic connection in not only Sicily but all of Italy itself. You would never believe the famous mafiosi who were also masons as well. If you follow the whole Sicilian Cosa Nostra and the infamous second war with Toto Riina, then you might recognize the names of Stefano Bontade, Salvatore Inzerillo, the Greco family (all masons).. According to infamous turncoat, Tommaso Buscetta, the current Cosa Nostra was secretly known as "La Carboneria" --- A clear reference to the "Carboni" an ultra-secret clandestine society of high-raking masons throughout Italy..

The story is interesting, but the video montage is all over the friggin place

Did Charles serve them decaf coffee ?
