1997 SPECIAL REPORT: "THE ODDFATHER"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2019
- Vincent Louis Gigante also known as "Chin", was a New York Italian-American mobster in the American Mafia who was boss of the Genovese crime family from 1981 to 2005. Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought 25 bouts between 1944 and 1947. He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family, forerunner of the Genovese family. Gigante was one of five brothers; three of them, Mario, Pasquale, and Ralph, followed him into the Mafia. Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a priest. Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957. After sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, following Genovese's conviction for heroin trafficking, Gigante became a caporegime, overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates who operated out of Greenwich Village. Gigante was one of Genovese's most loyal supporters, siding with him throughout his struggle for power with Costello.
Gigante quickly rose to power during the 1960s and 1970s. By 1981 he became the family's boss, while Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno served as front boss during the first half of the 1980s. He also ordered the failed murder attempt of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti in 1986. With the arrest and conviction of Gotti and various Gambino family members in 1992, Gigante was officially recognized as the most powerful crime boss in the United States. For the better part of 30 years, Gigante feigned insanity in an effort to throw law enforcement off his trail. Dubbed "The Oddfather" and "The Enigma in the Bathrobe" by the press, Gigante often wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself. He was indicted on federal racketeering charges in 1990, but was determined to be mentally unfit to stand trial. In 1997 he was tried and convicted of racketeering and was given a 12-year sentence. Facing new charges in 2003, he pleaded guilty and admitted that his supposed insanity was an elaborate effort to avoid prosecution. He died while incarcerated in 2005 at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners.

Legendary boss the chin,crazy like a fox ay!Potty as we say in the UK.Great news piece , keep em coming!
Hey bro, thanks for all the hard work u do to bring us these unique videos! I know youtube gives u hard time sometimes, but alot of ppl really appreciate all these videos! Keep up the great work
@@BamaFanUSMC Thanks for watching and supporting
@@HezakyaNewz take off the annoying so called music you don't deserve any money for this it's an insult
The chin was probably the most powerful man in New York for almost 20 years. They need to make a movie on this guy!
Their is
@@alexcorrea4828 And what movie is that?
It is widely known, true.
Life is a REAL TIME MOVIE and can you Guess 1 of the star's in this one here Besides ME and the CHIN??? JOHN, who's the Other Star here... You got 2 guesses...
They also need a Nicky scarfo movie
Don’t even say his name You just tap your Chin,Pay this man the respect he deserves!!
There's a cracking audio book on this platform on his life.
I listen to Phil leonettis book when I go to sleep and whenever Nicky Scarfo would talk about gigante he would rub his chin when referring to him instead of saying his name.
@@christianburk2432 they all did
Thank you
@@Tito-en5nv isn't that amazing.. all the tough monsters feared and respected the Chin so much they were afraid to say his name
Used to see him on occasion walking the streets of the village in the late 80s. Everyone knew he was, nobody messed with him
Forghetttttaaaaaboutit
me too
What ? The bathrobe didn’t fool everyone 😂
In an era when there were thousands of tough guys on the streets, it was Chin Gigante who was probably the most respected and feared.
Daniel Dimino Marino was a Gambino. And Bellomo was still a young man when Chin took over.
How do you know? He don't look scary to me.
Dublins Fair City Many of the mob informants spoke of the Chin and how cunning and dangerous he was. Mobsters didn't even speak his name in many cases because of fear they would be picked up talking about him on a wiretap. He was the most respected of the bosses on the Commission.
I second that
Absolutely jg was not in the Same league
The actor chazz palmienteri from the Bronx tale movie needs to seriously play this mobster,he looks exactly like him why doesn't chazz work on making some Netflix movie about this guy
I'll be damned. You're RIGHT!
Yep he does have a look of him,and NY.Italian background won't harm a performance.Good spot.
John A. O E - The Chin is a mobster who’s life would be a better film than just about anyone (even Gotti, IMO), yet he’s only briefly appeared in two films (the recent “Gotti” with Travolta and the film about Gravano, can’t remember its name at the moment)...
For real bro
Because most of the younger generation has no idea who he is and won’t bother paying to watch a movie about him.. it’s unfortunate but it will never sell.
Great work as usual. One of my favorite channels.Peace
Peace! Thank u for supporting
ANOTHER HIT!!!!! This is why youtube is worth it
youtube is fucking garbage
By far the best channel love your song selections bro
I can't get enough of the Chin
Gigante was around along time riding in police paddy wagons to the new era of the feds and all the high technology they use.much respect to him a real smart boss that lived for the cosa nostra.
Not many men can run a multimillion criminal organization for decades and feel that law enforcement transition. Chin breathed Cosa Nostra. I read his book
*touching my chin* was a great mafia leader
Love old footage from old mobsters we’ve all heard about .
Mr Furio
He does that with all his videos. Sometimes the music is perfect. Watch the video with people like Gotti hanging out at the Ravenite He uses Gary Numans down in the park, it’s perfect
ruclips.net/video/cXTt-z8kGEU/видео.html
Especially when you have read all the books back in the day
Legend I'm not knocking gotta but not in same league as chin
What’s your name I love you curiosity
You gotta bee on youra hat
Love this Channel 😊😊
Another great clip.. for all of us who watch your channel...salute
James Reed brilliant
Wow your channel is awesome like a look back through time.
Monsters are jealous, he had the best act , the chin, how he broke the philly mob was legendary...
Great videos mate🇮🇹👍
The goat of youtube 👊 👍
Keep"em coming!!!
Probably the smartest boss plus he respected and enforced the old rules.
Cracking vid, very well put together! 👍
HEZAkYA my boy keep up the good work brother
I absolutely love it. The content is so good 😊. I'm happy when I see something new from you. Keep doing what you doing!! 😊🏅💥
Great channel
I shared all these mafia videos on Facebook I think you make great videos alot will enjoy with rare footage...also put in great tracks that fit perfectly...keep doing what you do...please make a Paul vario crew video and Nicky Santoro video
I don't usually subscribe to channels but I just subscribed to this one. Great footage and music. Who is this guy Hezakya?
Hezakya, your news it's amazing were you get all this stuff and then share it with us you're the best hands down.. the chin
Always with these grade A+ intros with the music 🎶 you #1 bro
Bro you work at libraries and archives or some shit?
pistol pete I think he is secretly Rudy Guliani
Regardless Hezekiah has some great stuff he puts out for us
Just look around
You have an amazing talent for finding this old news real and putting it together. Just brilliant
Everyone talks about Gotti (That was a great video by the way) being a true gangster. Yeah he was but he was nothing compared to the CHin! This guy was unreal!! Great channel my friend a🤟
Gotti was just flashy and brought attention. The real gangsters are people like The Chin or Carlos Gambino.
I won't lie: the intro music for all your videos truly set the atmosphere 👍
Chin was a character, a powerful one 💯🤐
superb mate 👍
“We don’t break our captains. We kill them.” ~ Vincent Gigante
It's good advice.
All the fan boys worship John gotta anybody in the know would tell you this was the main man
This is gold. They need a movie about this legend! Chin was the man in NY
Excellent excellent excellent
The Russian mob didn’t really follow through on the 90s/2000s hype...
Because they never snitched?
The government will never let another OC group take over like the Mob did it it took like 70 yrs to take them down you think that's gonna happen again.
R.I.P. CHIN!!!!
I honestly believe he is up there close to carlo Gambino as one of the greatest mafia leaders
Yea? Are you a lover a murdering scumbags?
or joe bannas
@@dublinsfaircity I’m hung like a mule boss
I’d put Chin ahead of Carlo Gambino but behind Joe Bonnano.
Thank video
The man of the cloth lying about murdering brother. Sickening.
I don't care what anyone says. The Chin was the most powerful Don in the us, and my favorite Boss of a Family.
Keep doing your thing.Good luck boi!!!!!!
20:59 this is what Bill di Blasio did to Rikers island and let criminals loose on NYC to riot.
Respect from Albania 🗡🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱🗡🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱🗡🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱👍👍
Yes..the real gangsters! Much love and respect from MACEDONIA...via u.s.a
V VLLAHI albos are weak bummer boys
Do more on them genovese guys or the triangle social club..
Im here two years later watching all the videos again!!! 😂
Everybody talks about Gotti,we need more of THE CHIN 🍿
He didn’t mess up the hit on Frank Costello. He wasn’t suppose to king him it was done so he retire. And after the hit Frank Costello retired. Many years later gigante and Costello were together at a dinner. If it was a bad hit he wouldn’t be in the same place as Costello
gambino and luciano must be turning in their graves
Tony ducks and fat tony were rolling over in their graces
@@caesartapia5702 hahaha,nice one
The government should have lost this case. If you really followed the trial, they literally convicted this guy on the word of other mobsters. What a joke...
Your genius on all fronts more Carmine persico videos ND scarfo vids saltue to u my brother
The son (love child) of Gigante, Vincent Esposito, just pleaded guilty to racketeering a few days ago. He is also a made member of the Genovese Family.
Yep
Stupid question an please 4give Me I Love the Mob watched 100s Of documentaries on everything everyone.. But Racketeering is what.?? Does that cover 50 different kinds of Crimes an they Just put that under an umbrella.??
@Steven Karley Rico is what allows them to prosecute someone for ordering crimes but not actually committing them. Racketeering is maintaining an ongoing criminal enterprise whatever it may be.
@@marcamerine6179 I also tried to tag u in what racketeering is. If u run any type of illegal racket like book keeping or a prostitution ring an it's been an ongoing illegal business they can charge u with racketeering
John Williams Thanks Bro..
The Chin was handsome as a young mobster.
Typical dumb broad comment
This ladies and gentlemen is REAL GANGSTERS. Not the rap video shit . Great video keep em coming.
this song thoooo!!!!
Any idea what it’s called and by who ?
Thanks
@@coolinism Raekwon Kiss the Ring
Jazminne you are from NY aren't you?
@@HezakyaNewz what about that jazz piece in the beginning? Smooth...
@@FCm-tq2ho It's Airto Moriera...came out in the 70s...but i forgot the name of the song.
The man who shot frank costello 🔫
Jesus Christ
Angelo Bruno at FILTHYPHUKKINDELFIA!!
I didn't know that
how did he survived that
And missed
Da vero uomo d'onore, prima di sparare 🔫 lo chiamò dicendo "this for you Frank" ferendolo di striscio alla testa
U did it again the Chin
I hope you got more old mob videos.
To be able to sell a sub with the crew has well, fucking hells bells just when you think that you’ve heard and seen it all
Do you have ones with their trials, like Sammy the Bull or Joseph Velachi, those would also be golden to watch
+Richard Were>There are several short clips on YT about Valachi testifying before the Senate. He's got that gruff mobster muscle voice too. There is a 4 minute YT clip on Sammy the Bull giving some testimony also on another channel.
Bro Hez, do you have anything on Lucky or Bumpy Johnson? 🙏🏾💯
Nope...if I find....will post
Could you find something from the Gemini twins? Or from Jimmy Burke?
Somebody know what kinda sunglasses the guys escorting the Chin is wearing, if you know please please tell me !!!!! i want them so bad!!!'
Aidin I think you’re gonna have to be a bit more specific..
Aided behave yourself
Boy he was a master very feared he played no games John god he’s lucky he went to prison
Didn't Vincent Gigante want John Goti dead for the Paul Castellano hit
Not according to Sammy he just saw an opportunity to take power from John dont think it was revenge but probably both was motives
Not by the hair of my Chinny Chin Chin !
0:59 kinda looks like Elvis being inducted into the army.
YO I WAS EXACTLY THINKING THIS, IM SHOCKED. Like a chubbier version, but the profile and hair is the same.
@@Cadistasiosi >And the slightly dark shadow about the eyes.
Tommaso Buscetta the sicilian boss said in an interview that Gigante was the wiseguy he respected most...He said there was no other wiseguys left like him !!
Yea so what? He was a murdering scumbag. Do you respect people like that?
@@mikehoncho5764 good for you. Whos your favourite? Serial killers? Paedos? Mob hitmen? Torturers? Extortionists?
You have to give Gigante credit. He had balls shooting Frank Costello.. Also, did a great job faking being nuts.
Mike Wall sneaking up behind someone and shooting them in the head don’t take balls,and he didn’t Evan manage to kill him from point blank range.
Arsenal F.C. I'm saying he had balls because in that life killing a boss is a big deal. In my opinion it's takes a lot of stones to even attempt something as big as this. Frank Costello was there in the beginning with Luckily Luciano. He was one of the first 5 bosses. I respect your opinion, I'm only letting u know y I wrote what i did.
Mike Wall yeah I hear what your saying and I respect your opinion also,but I’m sure he was in with Vito genovese and Carlo gambino to back him up
Mike Wall also he’s muscle man Albert Anastasia was killed a little while before that,the writing was on the wall for Costello.
Arsenal F.C. Mafia historians believe Carlo Gambino was behind the Anastasia hit. Makes sense considering he took over once he was murdered. Ive always been intrigued by the Mob.
01:20 what's name this song ?
dam the rat strikes again samy the rat
He ratted for a reason.
@@pistolpete8231 only a rat wauld say that.
The real gangsters
Poor sick mr Chin
If there had been a physical confrontation between chin and gotta only 1 winner here
Anyone know the name of hip hop track at beginning and who it is
Raekwon..."Kiss the Ring"..contains a sample of Elton John
Hezakya Newz & Films Thanks 👍😊
He was allergic to the cuffs
Song at 1:20 is raekwon kiss the ring
From the most underrated Wu album of all time
@@redcomic619 ??? Pls share
Joey M 856 Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. 2
@@redcomic619 thx 4 the solid
Is Jay z not raekone
He also had a brother who was a Priest. I saw him in the 80 Blocks from Tiffany's documentary
Ending Soviet “thief in law” was respected everywhere for being righteous if there was dispute people would go to thief in law it’s same as made guy and you had to deserve it after long sentences after checking how clean you are it’s like holly man
Clearly guy with moustache has no idea what he is talking about well there was no thief in law in America there were whatever political ect ppl
one reason you know the “odd father” was a ruse, because if he was really incoherent like that they would have retired him to somewhere off the grid aka Al Capone in Florida.....they would have done that because of fear he might talk to the feds....and not had him in New York, to be paraded I’m front of the camera...
Facts!!!
Sammy was the main reason they got him
Is there more unknown mobsters and mafia Docomentary and news
He blows Frank de Chicco up in 1986
Nah that was The Lucchese Family 😉

He used to babysit me when I was little me and my brother
Sure he did. Was he stuck for the money?
You gotta hand it to him.. he played it to a T of being a regular crazy person. He shouldnt have done 1 day in jail with that . Shit for all we know, sammy lied on the guy to take a few yrs off his sentence. Ive never heard any tape on here on this guy talking mob talk.
In the Beginning Of Video At 1:22 Does Any1 Know the guy on the Chin’s Right side.?? The guy with Glasses An Black Shirt.?? He looks the Part too.
