johnny sins truly has the worlds longest resume
lmfao you beat me to it
And the longest 🍆
@@DavidPackouz LOL you have a sense of humor
A man of many trades.
This is the best comment
Watching an interview with an Arms Dealer... and Soft White Underbelly has 5.56m subs... how poetic...
😂
@@-taylord2am-473 Arms Dealer & 5.56million subs.... 5.56 being a size of ammunition?... What are you trying to say?
Please dumb that down for me
5.56 is a size of ammunition
This comment is sooo grossly underrated lol 😂
"Everything was legal, until it wasn't." Priceless... lmao
We heard what he said
The real scandal of this entire story is how the US government could do such a pathetically poor audit of a company they're about to award a 300m USD contract. Insane!
Exactly lol you get what you pay for. Even in the movie they real realized when getting audited how much they lowballed the rest of the competition and were so pissed 😂
@@xbone4138the lowball moment is brought up in this interview as it did happen, albeit over the phone
And then go on to convict the people they were supposed to audit to begin with.
bro u look like chuckie fr
@@skata100 LMAO
The guy is amazingly articulate. There was almost no need to edit any of the video. He was able to tell the entire story in one shot. I’m not surprised he is as successful as he is.
🙏
@@DavidPackouz youre a legend in my book man!!!
@@DavidPackouz I learned so much from this interview, felt like a university course condensed into an interesting story - thank you!
Agreed. I think I'm as charismatic as this man, I'm nowhere near it.
Incontrovertible!
Second favorite interview since the divorce lawyer. This guy is a fascinating storyteller. His cadence is captivating.
check out Frenchie the escort & idk his name, but he was a brothel owner. Two other great interviews too. Oh and Michael something, the corrupt NYC cop, another great one too
man that lawyer was something else. Dropped some killer knowledge
@@frosty65233DOAC interview or this guy?
Ah frenchie, shes the greatest ❤@mannezmootseng9567 her and Johnny are some of the most captivating storytellers.are you referring to the kind of big Italian looking guy who was the brothel owner? Another good interview
@@frosty65233had to be my favorite!!
That was a great story. I can't remember the last time I listened to a guy talk about his life for an hour and enjoyed every minute of it.
🙏
Yep! He's brilliant and charismatic.
This story was absolutely GRIPPING. This guy can tell a bloody good story. I could listen to him for days. He took me into a world I had zero clue about. Fantastic. Really enjoyed it.
🙏
Please get Efraim Diveroli to tell his side for the LOVE OF GOD. That would be unbelievable.
This would be INSANE! PLEASE do this!
Yes I agree we need to hear his side too. We are invested now 😉
After watching this entire interview I have to say this guy is fucking brilliant ❤
Efraim doesn't do many interviews because he is a sociopath who ripped off his friends repeatedly
He sounds like every piece of shit corporate guy I've ever worked with who don't give two shits how much you've helped them make their money fuck you anyway. I don't need to hear his side because it's going to be 100% bullshit.
Its no wonder he’s been so successful. Very charismatic. Transitions a story into a sales pitch 3/4 of the way through and doesn’t make it sound boring!
Thank you! 🙏
😂
Very good speaker!
3/4 way? Shit, sounded like one from the start. I could cook dinner while he answered the first question.
@@DavidPackouz can’t wait to try floss buddy!
This guy is one smooth operator.
These comments are unreal. He's just some random guy who said absolutely nothing
@themodfather9382 Efraim? Is it you? 😂
Yup..
Lol!
@@themodfather9382put some 💩 in your pie hole.
Wow. Just wow. I had this interview saved in my "watch later" since the day it went live and after reaching over it for two weeks I finally put it on, and I honestly cant remember being so engrossed by a youtube video.
Such a great story and such a talented story-teller. Not only that, but in my appraisal a good RUclips video will both entertain and produce a spark in the mind, a little moment that a new idea is introduced that beckons the viewer to investigate further, and my god this video lit off a firestorm for me.
Fascinating, elucidating, entertaining, bravo bravo!
🙏
WTF!!! i watched WAR DOGS this past weekend on netflix, and the man himself is on youtube on moday morning. thank you mark from SWU
I just watched it this morning. I guest that was a true story.
@@beyuwallaceWho is Herbert Marcus and what is programming ?
Dude same 🤣 watched it like a week ago
I came to the comments a few minutes in thinking I had some kind of deja vu.
Not on my netflix😢
Nothing good ever starts with "I'm gonna fly to Albania and negotiate with the Albanians." Especially if it's about firearms.
Beautifully said 😅❤
Except stories lol
There were a lot of things that didn't start good in this story!
Who on earth this k it's a good idea to hide the fact that it's from another country than it originally is.
Change the packaging and stuff.
We're not talking about milk or chocolate here, and we're not talking about 10 k deals.
Then cutting out the pne person who was in between.
Just insanity the whole thing.
Never in a million years would I dear to trick people in that setting.
It's like trying to trick the mob.
What are you, Greek?
But yet the American guy is the one who fkd it all up … albania side didn’t
The way this channel honestly connects every single human that watches these videos in such a unique way is just beyond words. The audience, the guests, the stories, the education in everything for everyone. Amazing. Mark doing unbelievable powerful work in the channelling x x
Thanks, Mark! That was as entertaining, actually even more so than the War Dogs movie! Loved it!
This is exactly what I picture an arms dealer to look like 😂
He’s also the dude from the Hitman game.

So that’s what happened to Sonny from iRobot 😮
Exactly, bald Jessie Pinkman
Being in and around Federal contracting for decades, his description of the related pre-award (e.g., auditing financial systems, site visits, etc.) and post-award processes are completely accurate. He's authentic. I started watching this interview fully expecting to click-away, but not so. He is super intelligent, and super interesting…. It was interesting to hear from the private sector side of contracting versus the Federal, which is where my experience has been... Great interview.
I agree!
Thank you 🙏
No he's wrong.
@@9395gb about what?
@@9395gb how is he wrong?
My favorite interview yet, truly amazing to hear the story from the man himself. Thank you SWU!
Great interview. Thank you for bringing him to us.
Holy crap, started watching an interview with an arms dealer only to learn that I use his musical invention in my guitar studio. Mind blown.
🎶🙌🎶
I was even more mind blown to learn that my country Turkmenistan is part of his story. Absolutely true about not giving fly permits unless getting paid😂
@@Rusty1202004 your country? how are you on internet? wtf
@@chronokoks yeah the blocking is crazy, even vpn not helping at times. But fortunately i moved abroad
@@Rusty1202004 how? how are you able to move abroad from that prison? I have never met a turkmen person only of the older diaspora.. heh

As a practicing attorney it will never cease to amaze me the tons of people expecting free representation...sorry guys attoneys have bills to pay....cant afford the attorney.....theres the public defender office ready to take your case...life realities.
@@Edwin-fb7myDo public defenders even try that hard if they’re taking the bottom of the barrel clients?(clients who cant afford a lawyer)
The change in David's demeanour as the interview progresses is very astounding. Great story. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I used to play bass in a house band for an open mic in downtown Miami from 2009 to 2010. David would come thru often and perform his songs with us. A few years later, I read about him in the news, and they even made a movie about him. Wild stuff
This is one of those dream interviews where you ask one question and the person fills up an hour plus of an engrossing story. Hopefully Mark interviews Efraim Diveroli, for a book end. The longer I watch it, I'd encourage Mark to interview David's replacements.
He's an idiot.
Agreed. This is the most intensely I've listened to one of his interviews and I've listened to plenty beginning to end. This guy David is a smart dude.
Thank you @@rubyvids8857
@fireuptheblades1875 If you enjoyed this, watch Davids interview with Mathew Cox (Who has also been on this channel). Mathew wrote Efrin Devoroli's memoir while they were in prison together. If you liked this interview, you will LOVE that podcast.
Matthew was successful in suing Warner Bros over this film. Also, there is no chance Devoroli does an interview. He wants to sperate himself as far as he can from this. Devoroli's memoir, written by Cox is, "Once a Gun Runner."
I'm a massage therapist. Maybe I could be an arms dealer too!
Well, you need to do legs and back too!! 😉

Very interesting interview. Expected to watch this over two parts. David just made his story totally engrossing to watch. Hour flew by. Well done Mark and David
🙏
Incredible interview. Thank you very much.
That title didn’t sound interesting to me, but then I started listening and WOW!! This guy is super intelligent and talked very articulately and I watched the whole damn thing!!
Thanks! 🙏
Interview with an arms dealer didn’t sound interesting? 🤡
@@Hugh_Mongus_Chode I’m a woman so guns don’t interest me. Haha. But yet I started watching it because you never know what anyone’s gonna say.
yay you watching upgrading from books with lots of pictures
A chode calling people clowns 😂😂 dear god
Interesting guy and story, although im familiar with the style and reasoning of this channel for years now, interviews like the divorce lawyer or this one right here are very much appreciated
Loved this !!! Spot on !!!!
Very few and far between. After this you have 2 or 3 more videos of brain rot basically
Totally agree! That divorce lawyer was a really interesting and likeable guy.
100% agree. I wouldn't mind the channel switching to this style to be honest
I think Mark is obsessed with hearing and seeing peoples’ trauma. I don’t use the term “obsessed” lightly.
Man, this guy I would have loved to have as a business partner. He is smart, level-headed, and seems to see the bigger picture.
🙏
The guy who admitted to fraud? That’s who you want as your business partner? lol
@@savedbythespellthis channel consistently shows how people are completely duped by charisma and articulation over and over again.
A religious jew with no ethics motivated by blood money - what a shocker !

To anyone interested, this is the real life dude portraited in the movie "War Dogs" David Packouz.
Was looking for this comment. Right after I heard the massage therapist detail, I was like wait is him?? 😂
He sounds more like the guy from "lord of war" especially with the religion part of it.
I was about to ask that! Thx
@@nicklockwood3792the lord of war guy is Viktor Bout. We exchanged him for that female basketball player that was locked up in Russia.
He has a cameo in the movie too. He sings at the beginning.
This was incredible. One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Amazing work as always. Thank you!
Two things jumped out at me: 1. I worked in the arms industry myself for about 13 years, and when it comes to ammunition, every single case that comes out of a state arsenal, and pretty much everything made privately has a headstamp or factory stamp on it. The information these stamps give varies, but usually its going to be factory of origin and year of production. Chinese and indeed, all combloc ammunition had a headstamp scheme that was well understood by western intelligence throughout the cold war. Not to mention that Chinese ammo that was sold commercially in the US was made at state arsenals so the factory stamps would be no secret. So when he describes simply changing the boxes to conceal the origin of the ammo, I immediately knew they were going to be caught because there was simply no way that the ammo would not be inspected on arrival and the headstamps cross referenced. The military authorities probably knew from the day it arrived where it was from and simply didn't care. 2. The New York times always shows their journalistic integrity.
You're right, that's the government , as long as there's no media scandal , they don't care.
I bet they're more strict now
He literally said the ARMY knew all along and even shielded them because they deemed the ammo essential to the Afghan government. They figured as soon as Obama came in he’d pull troops and the afghans would be screwed. Justice dep told them we’d not charge y’all were it not for the article that blew up.
the NYT has integrity? 😂
@@jp2135744 Sarcasm bro haha
As a viewer with a Federal Firearms License which includes full auto manufacturing. I can tell ya everything he is saying is correct. It's not that easy anymore, they added some changes to the bid process now. Because of these guys. Now I have never bid on a government contract because I have no way to fill it. But because of these guys. Now the US government inspects even the manufacturing lines to ensure you have the capability to make the product you are saying you can. Love this interview.
Yea I'm sure it's way more strict now after this shit.
I feel like I really learned something tonight, listened to this whole thing. The guy tells it very well too. I'm sure he will continue to do well in life.
Thank you 🙏
EXCELLENT interview Mark. Absolutely excellent. You always have something new!
That's very interesting, thank you so much for doing this interview.
Thought I would watch for a few minutes and save for tonight ……ended up watching it in one sitting. Excellent guest.
This is my favorite interview by far
This is one of my favorite interviews. Seems to get better and better by the day! Thanks Mark of SWU.
Close second to Gummo The Hacker.
Watch Repeat
This was so amazing!!!!! Thanks, Mark, for inviting him 😊
This is one of your best interviews ever. Very intelligent man with a great story and an amazing ending. 👏🏾
🙏
looks like he's a sucker for a compliment
Best interview ever, thanks!
Dude this was the best interview you’ve ever done, thank you Mark for always delivering!
I could listen to this guy's stories all day! LOVED this interview! 👏

this is - by far - the BEST interview on the SWU IMO and also, in general. This is just... pure gold.

How good was this interview! Wow! So well spoken as well!

One of the best interviews!! Absolutely enjoyed it.
What an amazing episode. Thank you!
I am so grateful I got to watch this! Fascinating!!!!!!
What an interesting interview. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed the format of this interview, no distracting graphics or music. A well spoken interviewee and respectful interviewer telling a fascinating story! Subbed!
As a former Army contracting officer in Afghanistan, Iraq and other armpits of the world, I found this very interesting, entertaining and not surprising.
so you're a killer?
They made a movie.

Amazing story! Thank you to the both of you! Can’t wait to watch the movie!

Great interview. I went straight back to watch the movie again and realised that David features in the movie playing the guitar and singing. So cool!
Great guest! Thanks!
Wow- this video was truly "Not" what I had expected.
Kudos 2u- my brother for being so well spoken & informative.
I totally saved this vid & my intentions are to share it w/ those that are special 2me- while I personally look into some kinda Mechanical Engineering degree myself.

Thank You Sincerely...

This is the most interesting, satisfying and cool thing I have watched in months. Thanks for telling us about this guy!
This is an amazing interview!!! Brilliant!!!
This chap is remarkably knowledgable about the background and history and I love that he explains it in such an interesting way
This is the movie wardogs.
what an incredible story!! thank you so much for sharing. this has truly inspired me, at 41, to take a different direction in life. so much gratitude for this. thank you again.
This video is probably in the top 5 best videos on this channel, if not top 3.
🙏
What are the others you recommend?
@@MrOloh Some of the Whittaker videos are good, the older ones. I can’t watch too many videos of hookers and heroin addicts , but the videos about Rebecca are pretty eye opening, and show a side of Mark that are interesting. There are also some interviews with Prison wardens.. those are good.
thanks for documenting his story.
thanks david for sharing
This was a great listen. Thanks for sharing. !!!!!
honestly the best, most unexpected interview.
This was a very good one Mark. Watched this from beginning to end and was fully engaged the whole time. David is a heck of a speaker.
🙏
Really interesting interview
Thanks for that

Great Interview!
Another great one Mark !
Really fascinating story One of the best you've ever had on your channel
By far the best interview video of yours I have listened to.. I was disappointed when it came to an end!
🙏
I started listening to this guy out of curiosity but I ended up listening to the whole interview even though I don't really care about arms dealing. This guy is so charming and well spoken even though he was a criminal, I have to admit that if everything is true, he's a great businessman! And I hate business and politics. Great interview! Very relatable
David, you're a great storyteller! So great that you turned everything around & hopefully it inspires others to do similarly.💜
Thank you 🙏
@@DavidPackouz Holy crap! 😂TY so much for the TY! I watched War Dogs. Your cameo - Yay! Also, the Instafloss looks amazing! Well done, you!💜
@@DavidPackouz helping the families of the kids that got killed in the Gerdec factory would also be a way to pay back. Their parents are still to this day fighting for their rights.
