Hes without question one of the most honest former mobsters I've seen interviewed. He doesnt try to downplay or make excuses at all
He should be in jail he only has a license to do what he wants to do is because he became a rat. 🐀
I worked for John years later in the car business in indianapolis. He was an honest straightforward guy who worked hard. I can't make excuses for his past, but from what I saw, he worked very hard to turn his life around. John, if you're reading this, this is matt, your old paintless dent repair guy!
@Hastalaverga420 I know you're not john. He wasn't a complete d bag with an idiotic profile picture.
@Hastalaverga420Hey John, this is real John stop getn fkn fresh....
This just goes to show that anybody can have 20-100 bodies behind them and you wouldnt even know it. They can be the nicest people you know.
Its sooo scary.
That's because they manipulate people. A sociopath will only reveal what they want you to see.
@@robertnugent4035 or inspiring depending on how you look at it....
And believe me they always are the nicer people you know, i know cause i know.
And sleep like babies
His best sales technique is describing how large the trunk is and how many bodies you can fit inside
Chinaman goes to da doc. Doc says "sorry, looks like you got a cataract". Chinaman says "no I don't! I drive a Rincoln!" speaking of Lincoln's, this Johnny fettuccine throws in a free shovel and bag of lime for every customer who buys a Continental, 2015 and up!.
Nobody is going to say no to this guy. People come in just looking and leave with five cars. He makes a offer that no one refuses.
Lol! 😂
Like Robert De Niro in "Analyze That".
This guy would steal your eyes if you werent looking.
anthony PADULA he tole ur peaNuss
😂😂😂
You are GOD DAMN RIGHT.👀👀👁👁
AND RIPE YOUR HEART OUT AND PUT IT IN YOUR HANDS.❤
Yes, he would. His car sales success is evidence of his ability to con.
anthony - HAHAHAHA!!! Good one!
If they weren't so greedy and had pay the dude what he was due for doing the job he wouldn't have ratted and they wouldn't be in prison right now. But they wanted to be penny pinchers.
I suspect that, since he doesn't seem to be to smart, that they could take advantage of him by not paying him.
They looked at it as they got a freebie. Freeloaders
10k debt ends an entire mob family classic...
@@antonioacevedo5200 ...turns out he was a little smarter & a lot tougher than they thought he was. Seems to me they were the stupid ones, shoulda just paid the man.
He was getting made. I'm pretty sure that was worth more than the 10k
There is no redemption for cold blooded killers. Enjoy your life while your on this earth.
I grew up in South Philly and remember this guy through friends. I played basketball with his brother Billy who was killed. Billy had skills as a basketball player. Was familiar with most if not all of the people mentioned in this story. I wish John and his wife nothing but the best and hope that he doesn't succumb to those past demons of retribution, revenge and violence...
Billy Sr. was a great guy. Great Hockey player too.
Billy was a great hockey player too and friend of my fathers. I used to play with him and his son on sunday mornings in Pennsauken with a bunch of other south philly guys. I am only a few years older than his son and Billy taught me alot about how to play the game of hockey. It was a sad day when we heard what happened. I hope he is resting Peace and his family is doing well.
John John's gonna be fine.
Never had the making of a varsity athlete
I think he was part of the glorified Philly crew, with Paulie “Pension Plan” Pilotto, Harry Lucci, Tommy “Toupee” Stellano, Sammy Meatballs AKA Sam Pagliarulo, the other Tom, John Jr., Vinnie Gorgeous (used to be Vinnie Schnoz before the nose job)
You don't kill your own friends for self gain and ever gain redemption. People without a conscience never gain one later in life.
I agree. You either have a conscience or you don't.
true Big R, suckers are everywhere though.
Unless they had no conscience as a child and were taught and became healthy adults, you are correct. This person has no morals/ conscience.
He won't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's got the constitution of a bull.
+Oblong Object are you a writer?
+capoislamort100 More of an outhouse poet.
@@capoislamort100 😭😂
He's a millionaire today pretty smart if you ask me.
Remember he was shot 3 times in the head! Hes gonna sound a lil slow
Damn... this is one of the best stories I've ever heard... ths wiseguys created a killingmachine, then they tried to get rid off the killingmachine, then the killingmachine gave them a surprise they didn't expect...
He makes a nice six-figure income selling cars. Sounds like he made them an offer they couldn't refuse...
hahahahah 😂😂😂😂
Umm I think I'll be taking a bus......miss a car payment and welll......
Yes red vinyl seating 😆
It really blows my mind that the government doesn't see any issues in having this guy out and about in society.
TomRock81 it tells you every thing you could ever want to know about your government
Look at Sammy The Bull, and Johnny Martorano, the government turned them loose when they gave them what they wanted
the clintons also walk free, scary to right?
To be fair he did say he found god and is not involved in the life anymore.
@@nathanfoleney6011 Oh well in that case....... Smh
You never mess with a man's family.
This guy is using whatever excuse he can to rationalize his being a rat who turned on his friends in order to get a light sentence.

“ This Is What A Psychopath Looks
Like & Sounds Like, So Watch & Learn”
I wonder what he’s like if you cut him off in traffic.
i don't wanna be the one to find out
You don't wanna find out
Philadelphia is filled with tuff guys
That interviewer is just excellent! I was so into this cause of him. The questions he asked, the facial expressions, the emotion he shows makes the people he interviews tell everything, and really express themselves. Amazing work!
I remember him well. I grew up down there, He hit a few guys that I knew. The change.. not likely. The Billy business ain't over.
I would not blame him if its not over.
This guy is full of it. A bad man ready to snap at any moment
Angie Jeffrey SOUNDS ABOUT WHITE!
Shut up. You sound like a fool.
@@skoobylove1971 what ever glowie
This man has just painted a target on his back
Agreed but so do the people he’s after and their families too! Lmao
The target has been on his back
Once a killer always a killer
Not true I was doing demo work in va. And this one guy was with the mob in ny and turned into an informant he was a really good dude though he helped put the big bosses away and New York he was on the show VH1 mobsters he was also on the radio telling about his life. This guy turned his whole life around work a regular job and was down-to-earth and cool tell you all the stories he did robbing people and killing people and having the mailman on Tapped where he can get whatever he wanted that dude was the s*** and this was last year I worked with him
Stop electing them then
People can change for the better
Sorry but I died laughing at the boy scouts story 🤣🤣🤣
He thought he found god,Instead found his missing chromosome.
Gotta say that’s classic!! Lmao. He said I got the glasses cause I can’t see too well since your boys shot me in the head 3 times lmfao
His wife says she only knows the "good" John, but here he is in WITSEC and he's still scrapping with people and leaving threatening voicemails. This dude is going to wind up dead or back in the joint. If he goes back to prison, his wife will visit him every weekend. SMH. Neither one seems real bright.
And to think all this could have been avoided. If this man would have gotten his $10,000 that he was promised!
if he would have got paid attend thousand he would have did several other murders has several different path a different path probably leading to more destruction everything happens for a reason and in the midst of confusion while trying to figure out why I just trusting in God and understand that it will make sense in the end
@@MakeWithMike ....then why would he have even killed one person to begin with?
Witness protection program? He’s not protected anymore!
That dude should be in prison
His go to sales line is:" you want to leave this dealership in a fancy car or coffin."
sociopath if ever I saw one. Very dangerous.
paulbrown357 rong ?
Such an overused and misunderstood word.
Clay Robert
I'm no expert but he's got a lot of the traits. He's certainly charmed his way into the life of his country wife and his local church. Also a good car salesman.
Also had no compunction about smashing a glass into somebody's face at local restaurant. Sick guy. He could still be killing people. They should keep an eye on him
little bird yea sociopaths can have feelings for family and develop close relationships, psychopaths can’t
Agree, 100% deceptive.
Living in South jersey,do I remember these times.I met Joe Merlino through my business. Joe to me is a real nice guy.Jersey home was like a bunker, his wife is just so nice as well.
what a stupid question, the number the times they shoot a guy doesnt tell you if the shooter liked or disliked the guy. You want to make sure hes deads.
I lived in South Philly for 43 yrs. Trust me when I say this..... John John Veasey is a street legend!
Michelle's Side he was wired
Michelle's Side he was wired u know um snitching
Michelle's Side I believe it
Michelle's Side Thats the truth !!!!And know what else ???Hes blessed by God !!!I dont care what anybody says ...God has a purpose for his life and his sins are forgiven him!!!!
Michelle's Side JOHN JOHN ISCA MANS MAN !!!!
Who could possibly talk to this guy and not find him creepy as awkward?
Jed Smith creepy as awkward?.. way to drop the ball Jed
jehkjshrfk 😂
He has a lot of skeletons in the closet haunting him. Trust me he don't close his eyes to sleep.
Seems like he sleeps just fine
I can understand his pain he has for he's brothers death.
“They told me they were painting”. Yes and the paint was inside of you.
This man seems to have the IQ of a peanut.
No - they draft phds and Mensa members as hitmen (idiot)
Yank ee Lmaoo 😂😂😂
Getting shot in the head 3 times might have something to do with that
He's street smart not book smart. He also took 3 bullets to the head and survived. That might have something to do with it.
Was only shot in the head a few times lmfao
That dude is my new hero.
Joey Merlino is best friends with my cousin bill brocco I remember Joey Merlino wow yeah that he had to walk with a cane that's a long long time ago did my other cousin on my father's side of the family was Phil leonetti and he got smart I'm happy he's alive
Love this story!
I WORKED WITH JOHN JOHN AT THE PHILLY ART MUSEUM. GREAT DUDE. I WASNT IN THE LIFE JOHN JOHN WAS AND HE KNEW IT. WE TREATED EACH OTHER WITH THE UPMOST RESPECT. TELL YOU ONE THING ABOUT JOHN JOHN IF HE LIKES YOU HE HAS YOUR BACK NO MATTER WHAT.. LIVE WELL JOHN JOHN ... PEACE !!!
billy murph he worked there? doing what?
@@davidmays7102 WE BUILT NEW ART DISPLAYS THINGS LIKE THAT. JOHN JOHN WAS A LABORER
So much for a hidden identity, he's been all over television. Damn, do you think anyone's in his neighborhood might be suspicious that somebody who looks exactly like him was on 60 Minutes admitting he is a hitman?
In witness protection, but on 60 minutes🤦🏾♂️😂
000962533 HE'S NOT HIDING.
Wow, this dude is the real deal, he's straight up and forward when he talks. You can tell that he doesn't cover up his doings. He gives the reporter direct answers.,he makes Sammy the bull look like a student.
What a creep this guy is ,where ever this guy is living people must know he's up to something.
Paul: I mean: look at your picture.
When you let God into your heart this is what happens he'll turn you around
You're gullible as F.
The myth that the mafia only kills their own is blown out of the water with this story. Veasey's brother was a civilian,and they killed him anyway.
+Van PastorMan he was not a civilian.. so stick your ignorant statements in your ass.
+Bobby Manna What are you talking about? He was not in the Philly mob. Just because he is the brother of a man who is in it doesn't mean he is.
***** you're fucking ignorant as fuck. its actually making me sick.. are you even from the area. do you know the real facts?
billy was a street guy he hung around street guys just because he wasn't heavily involved or a made guy or even part of crew doesn't mean shit. He was very much apart of and aware of that life.
Bobby Manna
I am not from Philly, and have never even been there before. Every video I have seen on Veasey said his brother was a civilian.What crimes specifically was Billy part of?
***** Really every video says he is a civilian maybe you should watch this again. and comprehend.
And lastly i rest my case you are not from the area and are relying on youtube n google as your sources..
If I were interviewing that man, I would have been nicer.
Ticking off guys like that is not the wisest choice one could make.
The people in South Philly are right, this guy hasn't changed and is a sociopath and shouldn't be on the streets.
"it's only a moral issue if you have morals".
"Why'd you become an informant?" "I don't know..." DUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The guys trying to move on and live right. Just because someone did bad things means they can’t ever change for the better?
@WetLettuce-kc2qm man up. Don’t run around calling yourself a snowflake
His brother got killed and is hard to let that go
do the runner ups for salesmen of the year award go missing?
It's been said a leopard can't change it's coat.
I'm waiting for the follow-up to this story
How is this guy still alive.
A truly evil human being
This guy has a “great wife and family”. Meanwhile ill be forever alone as a decent guy
BA , HA ,, HA ,, HA ,,
Yeah, I had the same thoughts. I mean, his wife is a beast, but in he gets tons of love from his community because he has the lovable tough guy vibe.
In my experience, anyone who tells everybody they’re a DECENT GUY is usually a grade A worm and/or goof
Bruh said he became a government Witness a Rat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That statement about injecting aids caught me way off guard
Kills his owns pals then rats on his own guys,real "legend"in the land of "RATVILLE"!
🔫#silenceallsnitches💯🤔💯🤔💯
HIS BRAIN IS JUST FRIED....LIKE A FRENCH FRIE...
His heart never needed changing. Just the way he thought.
Being penny wise and dollar foolish bought them a lifetime of regret. Should have paid the man.
Reporter thinks robbing ice cream trucks isn't a bad thing .
The point went right over your little head.
They didn't pay and killed his brother so i say good job snitching they are the rats
I thought they cenk ungar in that mugshot..lol.
And the rent stays like before
TOO DAMN HIGH!!!!
And the dog stays.
8:48 😂
Whhhaaat ?
60 minutes always been a good show
Do a story on his brother we wanna know from London.
The biggest crime here is a hitman driving a stationwagon 🤣
Veasey's a straight maniac, and that's obvious, but I can't help but to laugh at this guy. He's basically just being honest. Just enough to let people know what he's about (still), while doing the whole church thing to make his community feel safe enough to let him be one of them. Gotta hand it to the guy in a way. I do think there are people in Philly that need to be very careful that's for sure.
He'd be better off lying. If he truly changed he wouldn't even want to talk about this. He is a sociopathic murderer who relishes the attention and life he lived as a "tough guy" he wouldn't be punching ppl of he changed
You can see he's still a full blown psychopath. The voicemails he's leaving women and talking about giving them aids with needles stuck on shopping carts. I mean - wtf kind of mind does that take? To actually come up with those scenarios? He's a sick full blown psychopath. Manipulative - hence he's good at sales. Probably shakes customers hand before closing and puts pressure on the hand enough for the guy to say yeah no problem i'll buy it. LOL
All Saints were once sinners. My best to John and his wife.
Apartment above pastry shop shown where they say they met is in Chinatown, not South Philly
I would never see my bus driver the same way I use to
Good Guy
Merlino's outfit at 2:38 screams mobster! I want that leather jack!
I used to have a friend from West Philly, and he told me he used to ride his bike through South Philly. If the Italians saw him, they chased his out of their neighborhood. If you were Black, you didn't want to get caught in Little Italy. Those Italians would take it to your piece if they caught you in South Philly, yo!
It is strange that they didn't have a bigger gun than a 22. That's still crazy to take it in the head and still fight off two guys.
usually the best gun for that kind of job, not a lot of noise & if they were smart they would of hit him behind the ear instead of the thickest part of the skull.
MonkeyMan if these guys watched enough mob movies they would know 2 behind the ear not on the skull
you use a low calibre in a hit like that so it doesn't come out the other side, instead it just bounces around inside the skull scrambling the brain
Ciro Rizzitello, That’s a myth. Trust me I know ballistic.
Yea but 3 shots from a 22 not to many can survive that higher caliber I agree this would be a diff story
"Touch my brother, and I'm coming back harder"
I thought 60 minutes wanted to hide his identity? Someone, some where will recognize that car lott.
Steel Pulse Forget the car lot , a lot of people know his wife. Anyone who knows and doesn't like her can easily get word to NYC.
Dear, Philly guys this man absolutely positively does not live in Indianapolis no way no how
They are giving waaaay too much information on the guy. Do they want to keep him alive?
Jaime G who’s they ? 60 minutes they don’t care
Apparently not
I would much rather have him as a friend then any billionaire.
“John.. Do you get how crazy that sounds?” Lmmfao
shes in denial
Killer to making 6 figures? ONLY IN AMERICA
A lot killers make 6 figures
Does he look like he could do another type of Job?
Hes making a killing!
If you're good at selling cars, you can easily make 6 figures
Why do people like this get to own homes and live good lives? A murderer who snitched on murderers because he almost got murdered
he looks like if the punisher (Jon Bernthal ) went in witness protection or hiding
This is Sabel new crib so it followed her from the old apartment the only thing about these situations,lately they all have been ending up with the family or person selling merchandise, mugs , tees hats 🎩 and and A god Damn hot line…
Seems slow
Probably bullet to the noodle did that...on second thought...
5:20 the man on the left, behind Stanfa, is the epitome of a meathead
Dude better be safe. Be safe man
I meet him 8 yrs ago this guy is the best car salesman I've every met. He owns 2 dealerships and a multi millionaire.
bmitchell615 Mitchell he seems pretty cool. did u know who he was when u saw him?
He seems pretty cool!?
He's a murdering rat!!
@Mark Carthy why be cute you know what he means. That kinda attitude will get you stuck. But nvm it's the Internet that's why.
Excellent, noted
Sounds like he got payed but was undercover .
I can say that we all have a past and that John is a work in Progress. I only say this because I’m speaking from experience. What is impossible for man is possible for God. We are His Workmanship. The Bible teaches us to Love one another and to Pray for One Another. We all make mistakes and hopefully John has made better choices since this video. May we all live and learn from one another. To everyone who reads these words I say Jesus Loves You, I Love You and May we look at John with that same Love.
Shalom- 😎👍
god is fake. He is a murderer.and a liar. He hasn't changed at all. You are delusional like him
Masheena Masheena Mashah! Say It On High! Masheena!!! Mashah...
At least he is honest!
I’m going back to class… I’m scared straight 😮😮
It's bad how he had just gotten hit in the face with a bat for that mugshot. "Uhhhh, disregard all the plastic, we're doing a little redecorating."
