Great show I do a lot of research myself Jeff all I believe is facts was he around and connected yes he was is he a rat yes he is but I still don't believe a ton of his stories
John Alite responded to me directly after I reached out to him following his daughters passing. My son died in 2019 from fentanyl. The man offered nothing but encouragement and hope at a time he was broken. We messaged back and forth several times. He had no reason to take time out of his day to say two words to me, I’m a nobody from the Midwest. But he did. Say what you want about his past, if he embellished, whatever…in my book, the man’s character is 100. I pray for the soul of Chelsea Alite and I pray for John and his family.
I kinda like John Alite. I don't really think he is just trying to make RUclips money with some big stories. He's a good story teller and he actually knows some of the old guys that are still around and has them on his podcast. And I'm sure that he could kick ass too back then. Just the prison stories are a bit weird, all these guys were in the same prison? Sounds like a bad idea.
Amen ! ... most don't want to see that men like Alite or Cicali maybe one more are actually trying to turn their lives around helping others.... Hope for the children's sake it's genuine and they make a difference
Sorry to hear about Alites daughter. No matter what your feelings are about Alite that’s a very difficult situation for a parent to go through. No parent should ever have to bury their children,it’s supposed to be the other way around. I’m sorry for your loss John. My condolences to you and your family. I lost my beautiful wife in 2014,she had just turned 31 years old a few months before. We were together for a decade and that really really hurt. It’s been almost a decade since she had passed away and I still think about her multiple times a day and it really sucks. I know that she was not my daughter so I can’t even imagine what that must be like. I’m sorry for your loss brother. RIP to her!!!
@@knowsmebynamethe apple doesn't role far from the tree this dude always talking about helping "kids and blablabla" but can't even handle his own son? What a fine dad.Damn!!🤣 LMAO!!
Imagine the victims family that he allegedly murdered. I feel sorry for them, but not one inkling for Alite! He reaped what he sewed! It's life! At least his daughter wasn't beat and brutally murdered.
Alite reminds me of one of those guys who joins the Navy, does 2 years as a cook, gets thrown out or goes awol and then years later claims he was a top secret SEAL with a classified dd214 that only the President can access because he was such a dangerous killer that he could literally walk thru walls and shoot u as u slept.
Idk how you can say he gives facts when he repeated a bullshit claim about getting a scholarship for baseball to Tampa when a 2min google search on their website will prove that claim to be bullshit… A second baseman getting Tommy John surgery at 18yrs old? Wtf There’s no record of him even being a stand out high school player let alone good enough to get a scholarship to Tampa. Every high school league has a record of their previous awards teams like in Nassau county they have records of all the “all county” or “all conference teams” or in city you’d have list of “all city” or “ all League” teams. No one is getting a scholarship to University of Tampa without being a HS player with verifiable accolades. University of Tampa also on their website has a list of all their scholarship players and baseball rosters and Alite name is no where on there. There is also a list of scholarship players from year Alite supposedly had a scholarship proving he couldn’t of had a scholarship as they have limited number of scholarships available each year and a injury in offseason like Alite claims to have suffered wouldn’t cost someone their scholarship. The odds of a second basemen needing Tommy John surgery at 18-19 is so minuscule I doubt highly that ever happened but Even if it did his scholarship couldn’t/wouldn’t be pulled for a year and he’d have been redshirted! The guys full of shit and I had to stop watching 10min in as this guy Jeff giving himself a pat on his back for all his research yet he couldn’t do 2min of research needed to dismiss this bullshit claim so why would I Believe he researched anything else. Dudes full of more shit than a backed up toilet
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu you should have fact checked the baseball claims it’s complete bullshit. Google search and search of universal of Tampa Florida webpage would disprove that nonsense’s. There isn’t even any evidence he was a high level high school player! No awards no Accolades nothing
All I can say is, very well done Jeff that was a very balanced breakdown and stuck to the facts. Really well done. Condolences to John Alite and his family on the loss of his child, that's hard on any family.
I have been a proud subscriber from central Ky for almost a year now….I am far from being a “genre professional” but I can pretty confidently say that I’m well-versed in the organized crime genre overall….I have been aiming to leave a comment for quite some time and for whatever reason never have….However….todays show absolutely motivated me to comment. The show gets better and better with each and every episode. Todays topic of conversation was something that I’ve been wanting to hear for quite some time….from the subject matter, to the presentation and on down the line from start to finish, Jeff, you knocked it out of the damn ballpark today. Keep doing what you’re doing brother….you’re content is phenomenal, it isn’t pretentious, it’s presented in a factual, no b.s. kinda way and I just become a bigger fan each day. Thank you for being you and not needing to try desperately to present yourself as something/someone you aren’t like so many other amateur shows! If you aren’t subscribed and following Jeff and this show, what the HELL are you doing?!?! Great program as always my friend! Keep up the great, hard work…any fan of the genre worth their salt will tell ya, this is great content teamed with great presentation! Thanks Jeff!!!
You’re so incredibly welcome! Huge fan here in the bluegrass state and I know I speak for the rest of we subscribers in saying that I cannot wait to see what lies ahead! Awesome work!
I got the notification on my phone and literally got off my ass and walked across the room to my computer to watch it because I knew it was going to be good.
You're absolutely right, because if word got out, it would mean death for the conspirators. Probably one of the best kept secrets in Gambino Family history.
Interesting one Jeff, I think most people watching will agree with this video. Even IF they were to sitdown together, as fascinating as that would be, we all still wouldn't find out much more. I very much doubt it would happen anyway. Man's worst enemy is his own ego! Great video again brother 👍👍👍
Probably never. We will see Sammy Bull next, is my guest... he built his platform on RUclips, and is using that to lobby support in Hollywood. Only way Mafia Prince is adapted would be if Leonetti started marketing himself, but he doesn't really have a personality like Sammy or Franzese... sad fact, I'd love a Mafia Prince mini series or movie
Yo dude You seem like a real good dude you got a professional touch on there and you give a lot of good information man it's interesting keep up the good work
Jeff your the man when it comes to this genre! Purely factual based content that you deliver day n day out. No biased opinions just strictly the facts which is hard to find these days Much love and support from VA!!
Good job. I was in the same unit with Charles when he went to trial. I think what really got John off was not being affiliated for 5 years and a certain tape of Sonny helped in that story
@@Le42975 : if u believe his Felix Levine interview about his Brazilian prison experiences on RUclips he was hardly in a “luxury suite”. I’m not going to go into the hardships he stated he experienced. Listen to the interview for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
I think more people knew about the Castellano hit then people realize. In the book "Five Families" John has Ruggiero reach out to multiple people in other Families to take their temperature about whether they would have a problem with Big Paul getting whacked. The only family in the dark I believe was the Genevese Family because of Chin's relationship to Castellano. Gaspipe Casso claimed to know as well. I think many knew but few were loyal enough to Big Paulie to say anything or attempt to intercede
@ponzo1967 how many associates does anyone know of? Meyer Lansky, Jimmy the Gentleman Burke? Sal Polosi, Henry Hill. The list is short. And most of those are from television or movies.
Yes Jeff if you can get John Burke to talk to you, that would be a great show. IDK if he's still around this neighborhood or in jail. Has to be in his mid 50s if I'm not mistaken. My friend who I won't mention dated him. That's a name from the past. You just brought back memories.
Jeff, with a "deep dive" video on Alite, I wish you would've brought up specific things he said and fact check them to determine what's a lie or not a lie... There's been multiple videos where Alite mentions all these people he shot and some that he killed.. he mentions names so it should be pretty easy to figure out based on evidence and police reports if any of that is true.. and when he said Tommy Karate sent a hit team to his house and he had a shoot out with them.. and all those other crazy specific stories that should be somewhat provable. Also, you didn't even bring up that John Alite website that debunks all his claims.. I'm left the same as I was before seeing your video. I was hoping you could either prove or debunk specific claims that he said.. I know a lot of it can't be proven or otherwise, but all those names he rattles off in some of his interviews that he's shot and some that he killed should be provable.. The only one you mentioned was that Gebbert guy.. Which you said he was locked up at the time... So, I appreciate that you were able to determine that one, cuz I've heard him say he actually shot and killed him so that's a lie.. and I'm sure if you go down the line, a lot of them are probably bs.. And you mentioned his charges, ...if he killed all these people, why was he only charged with 2 murders? And it seems he's taking credit for those John Burke hits.. Do they even know each other, you didn't cover their relationship.. And if he did everything he says, why did he only get 10 years? That sentence was before he cooperated, he got released after doing only one year because of his testimony and put on 5 years supervised release.. I just wish your deep dive was a little deeper.. otherwise, great video like always.
No I mention Grosso who is the only known person he actually killed. You selective listened. But leave it to youtube to complain. i can't win, so I just do what I do
The bottom line is this . When Alight started cooperating, he proffered to the government that he shot and killed one person . When he proffered to the government, he had to admit all the crimes he committed if he didn't do so. The government could go back and try him for the crimes committed . When Alight started cooperating, he was most like told by his attorney to tell them them being the feds every crime you committed because if you don't the feds can come back and try you for the crimes you didn't admit to . Now that Alight is out of prison he says he killed 5 10 15 20 guys and played a big part of the Gambino crime family lol lol
Hey Jeff, great video!! Really enjoyed it. Forgive me if I'm asking you a question that you answered I'm the video. The things about Alite and Ronnie "One Arm" being in business together between Jersey and Tampa ... Could you/were you able to substantiate that they were in fact heavily involved with each other? Of course he isn't Gotti but Ronnie is definitely a serious guy and correct me if I'm wrong but also a Captain in the family. Not sure when he was made a captain so maybe not at the time him and Alite were close. But is there dealings in fact true?
Once again an unbiased opinion of these two former friends, thanks Jeff for the precise and detailed history on this hot mob topic, would I buy a used car off of either john jr or john Alite absolutely not, but I would buy one off of you Jeff... ;) I still believe John Sr would have given his kid a pass even though you told me when I asked this question (on a live stream) that senior would have clipped him, I respect your opinion immensely but still think otherwise, great job son.
John Pennisi said he had an incident with Jr and reached out to the Gambinos to see what his status was, they sent word back that “ nothing doing, so do what you want with him” if we are to believe that, (and I do) that says everything you need to know abt JR. Jr and Alite like you said are both Free and doing great so in the end it worked out for both of them!
You're absolutely right !! He didn't know about the hit ! He was just an associate !!.. just a tool ! He didn't participate ! Thank you, Jeff ! Amazing Sit-down !! I learned many facts from you , keep it high ,Sir
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu How many other people have pictures of themselves with Gotti,his family,his gangster associates,or around other such gangsters and their associates whether in clubs or in family get togethers and yet are not consideredpart of it at any level?
Excellent video . Very interesting. Just one thing about the Paul Castalano hit ….. John Alite never said he had prior and/or independent knowledge about the hit . He said “ John Jr told him about it , because he liked to brag” FYI . Keep up the good work brother.
Amazing show as always Jeff. Just closed on my first home and am ecstatic. No better way to enjoy the evening than with a great story told by you and nice glass of bourbon. Saluté to all.
Tommy Dades was a detective during the 80s and 90s and was asked if he ever heard of John Alite and he stated he had never heard Alite mentioned in any investigations please remember Tommy knows more about the mafia than any of us you may want to get an interview with him if possible he could answer alot of questions about the mafia anyway enjoyed your video.
This idea of breaching Mob protocol doesn’t hold up. Yes taking the oath is more serious, but all criminals aren’t supposed to talk to law enforcement or snitch on anyone. That’s just universal street code.
Whatever you want to think about Alite, he did go on the run instead of ratting. The man could have immediately became an informate and never spent a day in jail. So imo he has more integrity than most made men.
All the guys on the hit on big paul didnt even know who was being hit until the night it actually went down. They knew someone was getting hit but they didn't know who.
Alite was kind of 'associtated', but he was never as connected (esp to Senior) as he wants ppl to believe. He was a neighborhood guy and barring the Albanian ancestry thing, he reminded you a lot of Bevilacqua in the Sopranos. He wanted to play gangster WAY too much. He wasnt afraid to use his fists, or a bat and I've no doubt he'd prob. have whacked someone if any real wiseguy asked him to, but why would they? He was a street guy, but not in the sense he tells ppl he was. Hes been told to shut his mouth a LOT..for talking out of turn. Nm look at the Calandra story, of their being in jail. He praised him all over, hoping Jimmy would be as much a glorywhore as him and lie, but when he didnt, he said Calandra was lying. After Senior was sent away, there were a lot of younger guys like him who could never have gotten to John who hung around ppl Junior knew, and Junior himself, wanting to appear Mafia, but they simply were not.
the biggest thing about alite that I have is give a good explanation of all his stories. maybe those are on patron. but when you just list off all of these names there needs to be a story . the same with making money explain it so it makes sense .
So true: in the 80s I grew up in a mixed neighborhood with Crips. I hung out with them, drank with them, etc. Does that make me a Crip? Nope! They were just my friends. 😉
In the eyes of the government, had they ever dropped a sweeping RICO or you got pinched 🤌 you would have been considered "affiliated" or "associated" with the Crips in the eyes of Law Enforcement.
This is the part of you tube and podcast that we should put aside and think about, whether you like or dislike john alite the man lost his child, John i am very sorry for your loss, may Chelsea rest in peace and i pray that you find peace as a father who lost his beautiful daughter Chelsea. and back to the video, John jr. was your best man your partner in crime [ as they say] in my opinion you two were very close and i believe people under estimate how much you really knew, those are my thoughts, once again I am very very sorry for your loss. Anthony from Boston!
Another fantastic broadcast. I think the term "faction" can be applied to John Alite. Facts with some fiction added. I will not say that he's an out and out liar, but I triple question everything that I hear. Shout out to Jeff "To The Left" Nadu.
Wanted to add, that Tommy John at that time was a career killer. It wasn’t until recent years that people have continued to have baseball careers post TJ surgery.

So true!

And that's what probably gets on people's nerves
I'll be honest this is the best and fairest piece I've seen on John alite. Good job Jeff👍

Good overview Jeff. About what I would have guessed. He was very connected, but also exaggerates many of the specifics. RIP young Ms Alite.
AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS JEFF! 💜💜💜
I think that Alite’s most interesting exploit was surviving 2 yrs in that 3rd world prison in Brazil under horrific conditions. I can respect that.
Horrific conditions lol!! You buy yourself a nice prison suite if you got the money.

You’re good at breaking down a persons history abs presenting the facts

glad to hear... welcome. Hope you like all the content
Hey Jeff, great video!! Really enjoyed it. Forgive me if I'm asking you a question that you answered I'm the video. The things about Alite and Ronnie "One Arm" being in business together between Jersey and Tampa ... Could you/were you able to substantiate that they were in fact heavily involved with each other? Of course he isn't Gotti but Ronnie is definitely a serious guy and correct me if I'm wrong but also a Captain in the family. Not sure when he was made a captain so maybe not at the time him and Alite were close. But is there dealings in fact true?
federal prosecutors said they were partners in the trial of Ronnie. He also mentioned in testimony he was friends and worked with Alite
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Cool thanks
Enjoyed Jeff ans like your mix up from the idolized bullies in track suits - but enjoy that too! Thanks for the prep and due diligence Jeff
Glad you enjoyed it
Great show Jeff, you put that across very well
Jeff is a great interviewer i love listening to him.
LOVE THE PODCAST....The Sitdown..
..
Once again an unbiased opinion of these two former friends, thanks Jeff for the precise and detailed history on this hot mob topic, would I buy a used car off of either john jr or john Alite absolutely not, but I would buy one off of you Jeff... ;) I still believe John Sr would have given his kid a pass even though you told me when I asked this question (on a live stream) that senior would have clipped him, I respect your opinion immensely but still think otherwise, great job son.
thanks for watching Kevin
Good afternoon Jeff Looking forward to your show today!!
thanks for watching
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Your very welcome Jeff!
Could u do a show on John pennissi that be interesting
That’s a cool shirt Jeff! Great show as always
Thanks for watching
Good ol Alite it's crazy to think this is the first time doing a video on Alite!!
thanks for checking out the video
Have u seen the Junior Gotti videos about Alite? He says he’s a coward, a snitch and much of his life as Gambino enforce was a fabrication.
John Pennisi said he had an incident with Jr and reached out to the Gambinos to see what his status was, they sent word back that “ nothing doing, so do what you want with him” if we are to believe that, (and I do) that says everything you need to know abt JR. Jr and Alite like you said are both Free and doing great so in the end it worked out for both of them!
Love your RUclips channel ❤😊
The saying the truth is somewhere in the middle is so true for John Alite and his history with the Gottis.
I don’t think it’s wild to think John gotti sr at least knew of John Alite and smiled shook his hand when they were in close proximity
You're absolutely right !! He didn't know about the hit ! He was just an associate !!.. just a tool ! He didn't participate ! Thank you, Jeff ! Amazing Sit-down !! I learned many facts from you , keep it high ,Sir
thanks for watching
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu How many other people have pictures of themselves with Gotti,his family,his gangster associates,or around other such gangsters and their associates whether in clubs or in family get togethers and yet are not consideredpart of it at any level?
Excellent video .
Very interesting.
Just one thing about the Paul Castalano hit …..
John Alite never said he had prior and/or independent knowledge about the hit . He said “ John Jr told him about it , because he liked to brag” FYI .
Keep up the good work brother.

Great episode Jeff
But jeff your my favorite channel by far thanks respect!
Another good one mate as usual
Appreciate it
Great show Jeff....
Amazing show as always Jeff. Just closed on my first home and am ecstatic. No better way to enjoy the evening than with a great story told by you and nice glass of bourbon. Saluté to all.
thanks for watching... enjoy
Tommy Dades was a detective during the 80s and 90s and was asked if he ever heard of John Alite and he stated he had never heard Alite mentioned in any investigations please remember Tommy knows more about the mafia than any of us you may want to get an interview with him if possible he could answer alot of questions about the mafia anyway enjoyed your video.
This idea of breaching Mob protocol doesn’t hold up.
Yes taking the oath is more serious, but all criminals aren’t supposed to talk to law enforcement or snitch on anyone. That’s just universal street code.
exactly
Great content mate!!
Thanks for watching
Great show!! Love the tic toc stuff also
thanks for watching Rick.
Getting good at those ads, Nadu. Felt pretty natural. Good job.
thanks for watching
Another great episode
Thanks for watching
He had street cred in the neighborhood...
Great job!
Whatever you want to think about Alite, he did go on the run instead of ratting. The man could have immediately became an informate and never spent a day in jail. So imo he has more integrity than most made men.
John Gotti jr was only half Italian
All the guys on the hit on big paul didnt even know who was being hit until the night it actually went down. They knew someone was getting hit but they didn't know who.
Alite was kind of 'associtated', but he was never as connected (esp to Senior) as he wants ppl to believe. He was a neighborhood guy and barring the Albanian ancestry thing, he reminded you a lot of Bevilacqua in the Sopranos. He wanted to play gangster WAY too much. He wasnt afraid to use his fists, or a bat and I've no doubt he'd prob. have whacked someone if any real wiseguy asked him to, but why would they? He was a street guy, but not in the sense he tells ppl he was. Hes been told to shut his mouth a LOT..for talking out of turn. Nm look at the Calandra story, of their being in jail. He praised him all over, hoping Jimmy would be as much a glorywhore as him and lie, but when he didnt, he said Calandra was lying. After Senior was sent away, there were a lot of younger guys like him who could never have gotten to John who hung around ppl Junior knew, and Junior himself, wanting to appear Mafia, but they simply were not.
My God, I tuned into this to hear about John, White, not about the goddamn Fitbod but I know you need to make that bread Homie
Great video
Is this patton oswalt interviewing mobsters?! 😂
That was awesome when Jeff got alite on the phone when Danny trio made up that story about him classic
Thanks Jeff, brilliant 🏴🇬🇧
thanks for watching
John Jr called Snaggle tooth 🦷 so he called him Erkle
Alite kept the inside floors and side walks clean as a whistle .😂
Supposedly the hitters didn't know about the hit till the night before but they are gonna tell a friend of lil Johns ?
the biggest thing about alite that I have is give a good explanation of all his stories. maybe those are on patron. but when you just list off all of these names there needs to be a story . the same with making money explain it so it makes sense .
Love the show
Thanks for watching
I truly believe that Jr. tried and failed to build Alite up as his Joe Watts.
Brazil is in South America and Cuba is in the Caribbean
It's KNOWN Jr was involved with Coke. EVERYONE in those days who was looking to make money back then was.
New subscriber 🎉
welcome
Watching for the second time...his story was interesting to say the least... 😂
You have too be tough to survive prison in Brazil. I lived there.
Great show .Enjoyed.Alite interesting fellow.
So true: in the 80s I grew up in a mixed neighborhood with Crips. I hung out with them, drank with them, etc. Does that make me a Crip? Nope! They were just my friends. 😉
thanks for watching
In the eyes of the government, had they ever dropped a sweeping RICO or you got pinched 🤌 you would have been considered "affiliated" or "associated" with the Crips in the eyes of Law Enforcement.
This is the part of you tube and podcast that we should put aside and think about, whether you like or dislike john alite the man lost his child, John i am very sorry for your loss, may Chelsea rest in peace and i pray that you find peace as a father who lost his beautiful daughter Chelsea. and back to the video, John jr. was your best man your partner in crime [ as they say] in my opinion you two were very close and i believe people under estimate how much you really knew, those are my thoughts, once again I am very very sorry for your loss. Anthony from Boston!
Another fantastic broadcast. I think the term "faction" can be applied to John Alite. Facts with some fiction added. I will not say that he's an out and out liar, but I triple question everything that I hear. Shout out to Jeff "To The Left" Nadu.
thanks for watching!
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu You always keep it straight no chaser !
Wanted to add, that Tommy John at that time was a career killer. It wasn’t until recent years that people have continued to have baseball careers post TJ surgery.
