      If your dad had been involved in prostitution in Moscow in the 90s, he would have even more "mafia stories".
      Interestingly, if your dad had been involved in gambling or prostitution in the US .... guess what kind of stories he would have?
      (hint: "MAFIA STORIES")
      Also in China.
      France.
      Australia.
      Cuba.
      How about everywhere?

      Chris Hansen he wasn’t saying that it was 100% confirmed that his story was true he was just mentioning that’s it was possible at that time and place. Whereas you seem to not even give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Yeah He’s a comedian and probably made the thing up. Stand ups having been doing it for years making up an interesting story to get a laugh this guy just so happened to strike gold with this story real or not because it’s a funny routine. If he really is a one trick pony he’ll die out in popularity pretty quick just let the guy have his fifteen minutes of fame and stop telling everyone the story that the story is fake and to bring you evidence because other than proving that he did wear a fanny pack they can’t prove it was real
      Now if you had actual verifiable proof that He is lying feel free to tell, it would mean absolutely nothing because the story is still funny but at least you’d be happy being right but the fact is I can’t prove it’s real & most probably you can’t prove it’s not

    • @legozeke246

      Chris Hansen
      “You first sentence is wrong.”
      (He did stating reasoning or make an argument at all so I’ll assume this is a child and respond in language.)
      Oh yeah You face is WRONG
      Anyway jokes aside
      Yeah fill free to call my statements wrong but be warned until you actually explain why it’s wrong your statement will be just truthful as calling yourself a Star Destroyer
      again you’re assuming.
      I said if you have evidence feel free to state that but however you haven’t given evidence as to what makes the story fake except sounding sounding kinda fake. You’ve just been saying it’s fake telling everyone else to give you evidence instead of presenting your own
      And yes I’m Bert... (muhaha) obviously RUclips commenters as we all know are the most important and unbiased critics on the planet and I have come to stop anyone trying to stop my rise to power.
      No sadly the real reason I’m here is not nearly that funny
      The reason I’m is that I was scrolling through the comments and I got tired of people who forget evidence is a two way bridge in this scenario and ask for evidence and never back up their arguments with fact. People like you who hide behind logic and reason but never put any on display.

    • @legozeke246
      @legozeke246 6 лет назад +4

      Chris Hansen ok so since you are ignoring my requests for reason. Also your statement contradicts itself, why are you telling people it’s fake if everyone knows it. Anyway lack of evidence is not evidence btw. Anyway enough of this
      The story was funny.
      It was probably fake.
      Bert will no doubt fade into obscurity because this is literally the one funny story/joke he has.
      I’m done.
      Cya.

      so let me get this right?! Russia Mafia 'Gangstas' liked this guy so much......bring him into their crew....have such a good time with him that they decide to bring him along on a heist. Then upon realizing he's been dry snitching on their activities on national tv; they decide that rather than get angry about it....it maybe more enjoyable for them to befriend all his classmates......and use this as an opportunity not only to gain social media exposure but also put a face to the past crimes they have omitted, so that this clown's stories are more relatable
      LOLLLLLLLLL
      ...and you have verified the story.....as there are pictures posted on Facebook of Russians with tattoos clearly tagged as 'Gangsters' so that they are easily distinguishable from this clown's classmates.
      ----Sorry
      I know you are probably like 15 and the above scenario seems not only plausible but undeniable, as ur favorite rappers openly claim gang affiliation lol
      Rather continue to be condescending, although it is rather enjoyable. I will leave you with this...
      ---Organized crime is different from street gangs
      ---Organized crime in Russia is really different from any other country
      ---Why? Cause Its predominately made up of ex-soldiers and ex-KGB officers, who found themselves out of a job after the sudden end of the cold war. With their skills and network they don't engage in petty theft.
      1/ They sell military grade munitions and equipment, from AK47s to old cold war diesel submarines with or without missiles
      2/ They work as enforcers for the Kremlin i.e. government.
      -----its not a secret, they are the main reason a lot of these guerrilla movements in 3rd world countries can access munitions.

      Chris Hansen Why are you so angry? Who hurt you?

      Chris Hansen I do think it's funny. It's funny because it's unexpected and outrageous and very entertaining. Again I ask who hurt you?

      This guy MUST have some kind of disorder. Look how many posts he has just arguing with people who DO find this story funny. Just because HE doesn't find it funny/thinks it's untrue, he MUST comment to everyone who DOES enjoy it. Feel kinda sorry for him, must be a pretty depressing life.

      Well, do you OFTEN dwell on things you find unfunny or unappealing for a prolonged period? Often going back to videos you don't like, just to make sure other people know your opinion of the material? Then yes, you might have some kind of disorder. Especially if you think both of those are normal.
