Culotta was very intelligent. It’s too bad he passed away during the Covid pandemic. He maintained friendships with his fbi handlers and the same law enforcement, cops who used to chase him. Although his best friend, Tough Tony turned his back on him, Frank felt compassion when he found out about the horrific manner in which Tony and his smart ass brother were brutally killed.
I’ve seen this interview a number of times. Great job Mob Museum and Mr Schumacher. I appreciate the interview is in chronological order, and keeps to the most interesting parts of Frank Cullotta. Thanks for the wonderful work and adding something special to the historical record for us all to enjoy.
The Audio sucks and they’re lucky Frank didn’t get up and walk out due to their amateur hour lighting blinding him the whole time. He needed the money is the only reason he sat through it. Great job mob museum duh ughhrr gooooo smack me in the face wit it Mr. Schumacher pwetty pweeeese!!!
I think Frank Cullotta was right. Tony did a lot of wrong and there's no way he was gonna be made capo. Wouldn't make sense since bosses were going to prison and he fucked up so much you would have to be a fool to believe a promotion would occur. Also, he didn't have a crew to be capo of since everyone from Hole in the wall was going to jail. If he had his crew, he wouldn't have went. But since Cullotta and gang were done, he went hoping to be in good graces because he couldn't start a war with no soldiers.

Seems to me Tony S was a life long friend to Frank, but when Tony tried to blame his Las Vegas problems on Frank to the Chicago bosses I lost all regard to the Ant. In the end Tony and his brother paid for their mistakes with their lives.
The boys escape the room through a window out onto the fire escape ledger. They are spotted by their fellow gang members through the big telescope, and they rush to the rescue. A chase ensues, where Moran and his goons go after the boys to retrieve the coin and stop them from telling the police. Again the boys manage to escape the gangsters' clutches, and eventually knock out the gangsters.
Spilotro was his boss. He was very careful around him, because he knew he was a “2 headed snake”, who could bite from the front or the back. When dealing with a hair-triggered psychopath like Tony Spilotro, you choose you words carefully. Because any meeting with him was potentially your last. I know about psychos. I used to work in a VA Psychiatric Hospital.
Were you a doctor at the psychiatric hospital? The Chicago outfit did not put psychopaths in positions of responsibility. Obviously Tony Spilotro was an egomaniac but he was a street kid at the time when Chicago's Criminal syndicate was in its prime. Anytime you talk to anybody in the mob you have to be very careful what you say
@@charlesandrews2360: We’ll, that’s one thing we agree on. You have to choose your words carefully when dealing with Mafia types, or even folks in street gangs. No. I’m not a doctor, however, you get “a feel” for these types of people by observing their behavior over time. I’m not trying to treat them, just protect myself from them.
No, I was asking about the one across from the main gate because Frankie mentioned owning one in the 70's and a family member of mine bought one that I worked at, from someone in the Chicago crew.. Best beef in Chi? Thats easy. I make my own from scratch..
@@TheHardTruth315 I was just kidding taking the opportunity to plug my favorite not homemade Italian beef. I would like to know where that beef stand by Wrigley was also. And what was the name of it?

This was really good; But I wish the audio was better.
Yea that audio is pure gahbidge
i had to put both headphones in and i still can’t hear
we need the FBI lip readers to figure out what hes saying
Killing me over here!!
If the sound on this was evidence it would be inadmissible.
Sounds like maybe that table is bugged

Good point
Great video...i attend the Family Sectrets and will never forget it!
Good interview just a pity you can bearly hear it!
Frank was the man! RIP… wish the audio was better. Couldn’t make out some parts…
Why does it sound like they’re using FBI recording equipment for the audio?
The audio on this is driving me crazy
I miss Frank. The last of a dying breed.
He was a house burglar and a killer are you kidding me
@@brianohara5696 nope dead serious Lame

Amazing but audio is like it’s happening over a zoom call.

Thanks for the post .
I guess work is work . These guys put a lot of effort in to stealing .
Like a master class in being a criminal in the 50- 70
Subtitles helped a lot

Mobsters are the most fantastic story tellers.
The frigg’n audio sucks! Can barely hear Frank. What a waste.
What a crew
Bad sound
R.I.P FRANK
Frank has the best ever accent
Frank is a riot lol 😂😂
You guys gotta work on your audio.
Love the part when Frank pulls his own gun out and says I’m here to help you then !
RIP Frank ⚘

Did you ever meet Tony or is this your opinion from what you herd or read?@@davidbutler4113
Jesus loves sinners
Facts he knows the heart
I wish Jesus loved me, I feel alone
how about rats
Rip to big frank man was a real street legend busted a ton of heads back in his day it runs in the family
where was that beef stand by Wrigley Field?
You don't need to know that. Just go to Al's on Taylor Street. Still by far, the best Italian beef in Chicago area.
No, I was asking about the one across from the main gate because Frankie mentioned owning one in the 70's and a family member of mine bought one that I worked at, from someone in the Chicago crew..

I make my own from scratch..

South east corner Clark and Addison it’s now a sporting good store

My old man worked with Vince.
Wrong. Paul Rica was a waiter at the Palmer House when he was young . That’s where he got the nickname
The deaf can't hear what's being said
Rip
RIP Frank
now get your shine box
The sound rubbish
Rip to a good one even tho he's a rat
P
Eh Frank was never a wiseguy
he was never made but he was a connected wiseguy.
Who cares he is or was a hell of a story teller.
Yes, he was, he got promoted to a made man after Tony got promoted. It happened during Las Vegas.
@@TwinkieCakey are you sure ? Im pretty sure he never was made . He Said it himself if im not mistaken in a intervjue
He was made
Foggett bout it
