New York is full of crazy people. It was in the past and it is now. But among the hundreds of headline-grabbing lunatics, there was one who deserves special attention. He hit the streets of the Big Apple in the early 1970s. Unshaven, unwashed and dressed in a housecoat, he walked the sidewalks of Manhattan, mumbling incoherently to himself. If you saw him for the first time, you would probably just walk on by without even realizing who this man named Vincent Gigante really was.
Meanwhile, this psycho was actually one of the most powerful mob bosses of his generation, who managed to pretend to be insane for almost 30 years and avoided jail while the state turned on Cosa Nostra.
While everyone around him was getting prison sentences, he fooled one psychiatrist after another and stayed on the outside to run the strongest Mafia family controlling a large part of New York City's construction, ports, and criminal life on the streets. While every newspaper wrote and every TV station talked about John Gotti, it was Gigante who was the real power of the American Mafia.
And if you're interested in hearing the story of the mob boss who managed to stay in the shadows better than anyone in history without losing his power, then meet Vincent "Chin" Gigante, on the other side of the law.
I would consider a 21-4 record a successful career. Might not have been a champ but he was no journey man either
Very impressive record people expect everyone to be 50-0
@@mgl-77 exactly that’s a great record and most of the undefeated boxers these days fight cans and pad their record just so they look better than they really are.
Boxing has weird expectations with records. You're expected to be undefeated before a title shot then there's usually more wiggle room after
Great video!
I can't help but appreciate the fact he managed to successfully troll the FBI for almost 30 years
Well, he was keeping himself out of jail and it worked for a long time. He wasn't keeping up the act for decades to troll the authorities lol.

Saradnik Džon Is not
Suspended the sentence he went free that very day, I stood in the courtroom like a fool.
Fooled one psychiatrist after another? You mean they did want they were asked to do.
Chin was Smart and a great boss everyone thought fat Tony was boss no no no
Fat Tony was still one of the biggest heavyweights on the street and treated as a boss regardless. That's why even when he took 100 years during the Commission Trial and the feds established he wasn't the boss, it did nothing to change his sentence as he was still guilty of racketeering a hundred times over and running a faction of the family.
Chin was the GOAT
As the kids say
Mafia bosses do not live “ an interesting life”, as someone said. They are horrible people who beat people up, keep people scared, and conduct unfair and totally illegal business practices. No matter how romantic the movies make them, they are lowdown, in the gutter people.
As individuals, they may be fascinating, but they’re far from good people.
I loved The Bronx Tale. Sonny, as played by Chaz Palminteri, was fascinating and I love that movie. I don’t know maybe these guys have literally two personalities - one who is psychotic, murdering people like striking a match, the people thrown away like a match sticks, and crushed under their shoe. On the other hand, their families are sacrosanct, they help other Italians like older ladies to pay bills. They can be very philanthropic and loving. One personality is turned off and the other on very easily. 👹/😈
The Chin Lived a Fascinating Life.😎
Michael franzese said this guy was the most feared mob guy in NY. Basically a Joey Aiuppa equivalent in the New York mob.
Avoiding arrest and sentencing, that title goes to Tony Accardo. Not even Gambino could avoid jail/prison time. But Tony did.
Does anyone think maybe he wasn’t acting too much because he was a boxer at one point and we didn’t really know the affects of a concussion until football players started acting schizophrenic because of concussions from playing football and getting hit in the head 🤔
Like Michael franzese said he had to have been at least a little crazy to keep up the act
Which football players have had schizophrenia from concussions?
He does have a big chin
0:15 second guy from the right is straight up tony saprano.
No. It was through funzi that Chin became buddies wid Phil Lombardo, not Genovese

your timing of content is interesting. other channels have taken to dropping their KNOW on this same gigante dude.
I C the words from gigante's post 9/11/01 attacks (a phone call with his family) show he and his associates were not a Part of the very profitable HIT
the owner of the WTC scored $14billion in payouts no money from the loss of the Building # 7 though - it was not hit by a plane, but had to still be controlled blasted down
the wealth of the war money, food contracts too, to the members of the white house (dick) to the GHWBush (part owner of the Carlyle Group) is astounding massive amounts of trillions into lost cash flow out the door and the mob never got a peanut LOL // thanks for the upload Merry Christmas and in the Tradition of George Washington during the revolution/Nixon on Nam Merry Christmas Bombings too those german mercs never SAW the colonists coming on that Christmas Eve
Good information but way way too fast man. Maybe im slow but it felt hard to keep up
Most powerful mob guy by far!!!!
Police knew who he was all along though. He was a known mob guy b4 the crazy act. Absolutely ridiculous way to live and fooled Absolutely nobody. Waste of time.
That's not really true since the crazy act kept Chin out of jail for a long time. Only when the feds flipped Gravano and took Gotti off the street did they feel emboldened to pour everything into getting Chin as he was the most powerful figure on the street. Even then, he only admitted he wasn't crazy to derail his appeals when the feds threatened to indict his family members for obstruction and his son catching a serious case.
His brother was a priest that laundered money for😊 the mob. He only died a few years ago I think.
Was chin the inspiration for uncle junior in the sopranos? Lol
No, that’s damn near every old Italian mobster😂😂😂 the sopranos was loosely based on the decalvacante family out of new jersey
@@YaboiPerkyalso partially based on the new Jersey genovese crew, so it could be lol
Joey Aiuppa
@YaboiPerky wrong it was Boot Biardo and son.
What movie is playing in the background
godfather of Harlem
Didnt he bite Gotti's ear off?
I saw an interview of his daughter on "soft white underbelly" that was quite interesting.
Is he still alive
No his daughter is on RUclips though . The Chin was possibly the most powerful mobster in the 70’s/80’s. This is the guy Gotti and co feared the most.
