You need to have Sammy on a lot more! I sit back and close my eyes and he paints such a vivid picture, that it's almost like I was there when it happened. I'm very glad that you got saved, Sammy! Love you brother.
@TopG-lu1hq I have heard him tell this story before, basically identical, he is not lying, this is not the sort of thing you make up, and I have never spotted any lies in what he says. Watch his chats with OC Short too
None haunt him. He’s a compulsive lying sociopath, also killed a 16 year old kid. Think that one would be the one that “haunts” him but he blamed the kid and then blatantly lies saying he talked to the family and they forgave him which they came out and said they’ve never heard a peep from him once and would never forgive him lol
@@Maximus1883 I think we just yearn for the old days of RUclips and for RUclips to be what it was supposed to be before Zionist multi national cartels took it over and made it all about ad revenue not to mention the actual creators, except for a chosen few are paid a pittance when they’re the ones making all the content and these same trillionaire cartels are just getting richer and richer…. Not to mention they censor anything that doesn’t agree with their lying political agendas. We yearn for the freedom RUclips offered in 08-2010.You seem to be the kind of sheep they love the most.
Yes, Sammy was right. To do this on BEHALF of Scarfo was bad business. Scarfo was terrible. The modern Cosa Nostra is literally a product of the fallout from the reigns of Scarfo and Gotti. I am no student of current events but the bosses of the 5 families today are very shadowy figures, some families it's not known with certainty who the boss is. Had Keys been the boss at least, the Philly mob would have remained in place without the chaos.
there was an old time regime of OGs generation and when they were gone it wasnt really cosa nostra anymore, it was greed that killed some of them, old age got others, and RICO got the rest, johhny keyes, "chin" gigante, Jo Bananas, Fat Tony, Carlo Gambino, Todo, Mr Niel delecroce, lucky Luciano, Sonny Frances, the 3 jews Meyer Lansky, Sam Levine, and Ben Siegel ETC. These guys were old school with a code they made cuz the saw the chaos of constantly fighting and fucking each other Because they came up during prohibition with the even older immigrant mafia black hand guys from italy that never stopped warring and fighting for power. And with them constantly going to war their soldiers died for the profits they werent making because of the constant sabotage. So when these guys formed the commission and killed the old guard off, they did it for business and power. Cosa Nostra form of then mafia was a corporation for profit, and profit was king. You run your family the way you see fit, your guys make money we'll collaborate so that we dont step on each others toes and we will meet and hatch things out when we do step on each others toes. But anyone who interferes with business or puts business in danger or defies our rules to protect our business has to go and go quiet and quick so that we stay under the radar. The family business is a sacred thing and you swear to protect it and it will protect you take care of your family if you go. That's how these "corporations" survived under the radar, but then Sammy and johns generation. They grew up seeing these guys respected and they think its respect through visioness, brutality, not through the code. They see the code as a license to do what they want and be protected. The honor was gone, the secrecy was gone they were the big gangsters on the street that never met a problem they couldn't kill off, and they forgot it was a secret above all else, they wore the mafia like a boy Scout badge to show off and muscle people around instead of a fucking SECRET SOCIETY. They survived by their code and Sammy's generation killed it, They became just thugs, they saw power as only the power of life and death, Scarfo is one of those guys, came from nothing found him self a boss and thought it was all about who he could kill, not about the family he could grow with him as the father over all with pride in what he could build. It was all about him and what he could wield, just like john, just like Paul, the old rules died with the old guard. That aint Cosa Nostra thats just any old street gang of thugs who want to turn the whole world into their hood, but how many mafia guys you see back then let their neighborhoods turn into hoods?
I was really into learning about the Mafia when I was a kid. No idea why either lol. But my dad encouraged me by buying Sammy's book, and I did a report for my honors freshman English class on a "historical figure from America", and I picked Sammy The Bull lol.
Yea he’s a compelling story teller. He tells all kinds of stories on his channel. True stories, but probably with some famous Italian embellishments here and there. One of his best stories is about a botched robbery he and a friend went on before he was made. I believe the video is called something like “they’re already dead” in his channel, (or you’ll see that in the thumbnail) it’s one of the oldest ones on there. Highly recommend that one.
The idea that mob guys are super smart criminals on guard at all times is sort of shattered when Keys falls for the "you set up the meeting and we'll take you there alone" routine. The "mission impossible" hit became super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I think that’s part of the reason it worked is because he had already been almost chilled in so many ways that he really didn’t think anyone would be old enough to try it like that
Wow, this interview is great. With the way he speaks about it. It makes you feel like you’re right there watching the whole thing happen. Thanks Mark for Sammy’s interviews.
Great story but much better on Sammy’s channel with the added music in the background, if anyone hasn’t listened to the original I recommend watching that one.
I eagerly await the movie. Bushido is an interesting take. Thanks to Sammy for sharing his stories. Many, in my own family, took their stories to their graves and sadly, due to language barriers, much was lost in translation.
Great video. Great. He is a great story teller. Riveting. What a life he has lived. It is very obvious you are moved by your own story. You are doing an awesome job telling Johnny Keys story for all of us to understand.
1:14:29 That's the craziest thing, I was thinking the exact same thing before he said it: this is exactly like an interaction between Samurais. You could retell almost this whole story in a movie and just change all the main characters and historical setting to Samurai-era Japan. They did something similar with ''The Magnificent Seven'' movies: this was originally a Japanese Samurai story/movie, and they remade the whole the whole original storyline as Hollywood Cowboy Western movies.
CRINGE comparation. There's nothing honorable about the Mafia. Sammy murdered his own brother in la ffs. To this day it's the one murder he won't talk about. Probably the last smidge of humanity he has left. Now, Sammy has turned to God lol. After 19 murders. If that guy goes to heaven, it's a joke.
Sammy is a master at telling his experience. I heard him tell This specific story before and it's still captivating and brings all type of emotions when hearing it.
Well, the life Johnny lived killing others ruthlessly, robbing and stealing etc does not make him a wonderful person to be revered just because he did not cry and weep when he knew he was going to die his life was a burp on society.
would knows if he really was like that. he was a hit guy so he did mafia hits. i think the internet pretty much agreed on that mafia hits are no ruthless killings but jobs. even jobs you have to do or else and robbing and stealing...that sounds as if he was running the streets snatching purses. he might have on one point but we dont know. i think he rather was involved in some illegal business, maybe some hits or wars
As someone who lived and now lives 5 min from Fed hill where all the mobsters dined and did business, I find these stories super interesting. All the legends are gone, but our city prospered and people did well had good jobs. Money was plentiful and people were taken care of. Now it’s everyone for themselves 😞
Always the hero-never the villain! I’ve also hear him tell his stories hundreds of times now and sometimes he exaggerates and adds so much extra sauce from other times he’s told em. I don’t know that I always believe him 100 percent.
Send us your address and I'll send you a certificate in the mail for living near where a Gangster was murdered 😂 I have no idea why you felt the need to tell us how close you live to the scene of a murder that happened over 30 years ago... I live near a gentleman who won an arm wrestle in 1968... How interesting is that ? Wow....
He says "what kind of man wants his wife to have a message to her b4 he dies?" A real and normal one. He clearly wouldn't be giving a shit about his wife
Hey man - lmk if you need a producer or at the very least some one to do better ad placement I’ll do free work for a couple weeks see if we can figure something out from there because man those ad placements are terrible
There's two he doesn't like talking about. One he never talked about fully and that was his brother in laws murder. The other is Alan Kaiser who was a case of mistaken identity. He has explained what happened, but everyone who knows the truth about that story is dead, besides Sammy.
Absolutely incredible, this is the 2nd, maybe 3rd time hearing Sammy tell this story, and many more, and you can see him reliving it all over again, it's just fascinating as hell... 😯😔🤷
lolll thats Phil Testa who was at one point, the capo de tutti capi of the bruno crime family also connected to Nicky Scarfo (family successor after testas death), nephew (phil leonetti) who turned informant. Leonetti done time in Arizona with Sammy.
I pay for YT premium so no adds. But anywho that was a tear jerker man. Woof, I'm at work fighting back tears. What a marvel, even in its ugliness, this human experience.
The bouncer body guard chuck ziti is retelling his tale and reshaping his reputation and trying to now retell history with a smile on Vlad. You all are fools for believing him and Vlad and Mark here. Chuck Sammy glad Mark here they all scam and lie and make money off murder and abuse and violence and assault. Predators and vultures some are the predators and some the prey and some benefits off the effects like vultures like Vlad and mark.
When he tells the story on his audio podcast it’s so intense and told so well when you hear it on there he conveys so much emotion when he retells it on other platforms he has already told the story so many times so it doesn’t hit the same as his podcast but this story is so crazy the fact he can even talk about this on RUclips is insane
Johnny Keys Simone was my grandfather’s good friend. Pal Joey Farinella and Nicky Russo as well, All Trenton NJ (Chambersburg) heavyweights. It was an amazing place to grow up as a kid.
The friendly’s was right outside of Trenton in Hamilton a suburb of Trenton In Kmart’s plaza. I ate there a lot as a kid it was in a strip mall off of Olden ave.
he was n did tell it lol idiot!! he turned n confessed too 3 mafia wars and 19 murders!!! cos gotti wanted to kill him if he didnt do gotti's life in prison sammy said fuck you gotti fucked up!!! sammy outlived em all man!!!!
Once upon a time, there were consequences for taking another person's life. Now, it's talked about openly and capitalized on. It's a stain on our society.
Oh the good ol’ days. Where they made movies about killing but it was more sophisticated. There is no once upon a time. People have always capitalized on stories about murder, and there are light sentences for convicted murderers in any time period. Don’t fool yourself, people are still primitive. Stories of sex, crime, revenge, murder, betrayal are intriguing.
Pretty crazy to see how he’s reliving that day - his breathing speaks louder than him in those moments. Absolute madness but yet such a great depth of emotion. The best script writers couldn’t tell a better story
Several years ago I was somewhat intrigued by these guys and the lives they led. The more books I read and things I learned, the more I realized there is nothing special about them. Bottom line, they are no different from any other scumbag criminals. Sammy makes this hit sound like something out of a spy novel. When it’s nothing but a psychotic committing a kidnapping and murderer.
Every time he tells this story, he adds new details to make it more dramatic than the previous telling. I'm not saying he is lying per se. Dozens of collaborators have confirmed the details of this story and that Sammy was the man behind it. But the thing about good stories is you don't have to add things to them to make them exciting.
Born and raised in Philly. I walked past Testas home where the pipe bomb blew up to go to school everyday. When he said he was going to extinguish this gentleman in "Friendly's"? I said "Oh my god. That's a burger 🍔 and ice cream 🍦 joint. A family place.
I'm guessing cause then it would have been a full blown civil war. By letting the commission decide he could claim it was outside of his control and they called it. Just a guess
Because Keys would know all those guys from Philly and suspect them. It was a war and Sammy was a “messenger” from the trusted Big Paul and Gambinos. Keys trusted Paul with his life and it cost him. Far as I can tell.
Of all the mafia stories I've ever heard this is hands down the best . An amazing account of mafia life from a man that lived it and managed to stay alive all these years.
They did live by their own code of honor, even if the things they did are perceived as dishonorable to us. But that honor eroded away. That's what this story is about.
Speculate all you want about Sammy's (obvious) tendency to puff himself up in his stories, but the things he says about Johnny "Keys" Simone MUST be accurate. If they weren't, we would see similar praise given to all of his vanquished targets. But that's not at all the case. He talks like this about *nobody* ...other than Simone. It seems to me that's more than sufficient evidence to confirm what Sammy says about Simone's character. That part about the shoes always chokes me up. What an outstandingly thoughtful gesture. 😥 It makes you wonder how history would have been different if The Commission had backed Simone/Caponigro instead of that unhinged maniac Scarfo...
You gave him the honor and respect he deserved. And I know for sure that if that was anyone else in front of him he wouldn’t even bother asking for favors. He honored you with a lot of respect by asking favors and going away the way he did.. true definition of cosa nostra
This is a great story. The only thing that makes me question some of it is that the investigator said Keys was beaten before being killed. The way the story is told is that Keys was treated with respect and only shot in the head. Even protected when Joey was yanking him from the van. Sammy didn't mention anything about him being beaten, at all.
Sammy. Changed the story in each interview and mark here benefits off the murder like a vulture after the killing taking scraps Mark makes money like a vulture cleaning scraps
Cannot have any empathy because in the circles he ran in, that would be a sign of weakness. most of these mafia guys are emotionally dead to be able to do all the violence they do to others. I knew a guy out west where i live that was a Norteno gang member. When he was beating down a southsider or an enemy. He would be euphoric. laughing and getting a high because of the beating he was doing to another man. He used to tell me that besides sex, violence was the thing that gave him euphoria. He hunted down south siders NOt with a gun. He was the type who would go to the mall and just beat the living shit out of them. And for several days he would relive it by telling us what he had done. He is doing 25 to life because of an attempted murder. With his bare hands, no knife or gun play. I always told him that one day he was going to run across some enemy that actually had a gun and he was going to get hurt. He never listened. I do write him once a month , just so he knows that there is someone outside of prison that still thinks of him. He will parole next spring at the age of 44 since he went in at 19. I wonder to myself if he has mellowed out with age or if he is going to come out still doing what he did. only time wll tell.

@@shafserious2805 ahaha it’s not dogging on people when they’re proven compulsive liars besmirching everyone else’s character when they can’t rebut because they don’t have immunity like the snitch who betrayed everyone he grew up around. He wouldn’t step foot in this neighborhood and will never come back nor stand infront of anyone who would call him out with facts and his own words that contradict themselves. Lee cole went to visit him and nothing lol he’s surrounded by agents for the rest of his life. This Sammy’s burner account? Would be happy to have a live conversation with you and watch you stutter to the facts I would present and holes in your new narrative
Sounds like Johnny Keys should've been the boss of Philadelphia, not Nicky Scarfo. Scarfo was crazy and paranoid about people in his own family and had them wacked. Including Phil Testas son. He was really bad for business and wound up doing life.🎉😢😮

And you don’t have to listen to his stories but yet here you are!! I mean we’re really lucky because he is a fantastic story teller
This is the second time I’ve heard this story, and I listened to the whole thing the second time through as well as the first time
Thanks Sammy for telling us your experiences ❤
you can't possibly be this stupid

Good that you hear with us still, how does it sound hearing this after so many years ? Got a lot of respect for you guys.
Bullshit
I grew up in Philadelphia and that hit happened right around the corner from my house
Send us your address and I'll send you a certificate in the mail for living near where a Gangster was murdered 😂
I have no idea why you felt the need to tell us how close you live to the scene of a murder that happened over 30 years ago...
I live near a gentleman who won an arm wrestle in 1968...
How interesting is that ? Wow....
You ain't even live in a house by a corner
@markperry125 what do you know idiot
Did the roofer even finish reshingaling?

He says "what kind of man wants his wife to have a message to her b4 he dies?" A real and normal one. He clearly wouldn't be giving a shit about his wife
The way people "Big-Up" this demon, blows my mind! He is the epitome of evil.
Hey man - lmk if you need a producer or at the very least some one to do better ad placement I’ll do free work for a couple weeks see if we can figure something out from there because man those ad placements are terrible
Is there any hit he doesn't want to talk about? Maybe the hit on his self esteem for being a snitch.
I bet the ones that don't glorify him so much are under lockdown
He’s gotten many men life sentences while he tells made up stories
There's two he doesn't like talking about. One he never talked about fully and that was his brother in laws murder. The other is Alan Kaiser who was a case of mistaken identity. He has explained what happened, but everyone who knows the truth about that story is dead, besides Sammy.
Absolutely incredible, this is the 2nd, maybe 3rd time hearing Sammy tell this story, and many more, and you can see him reliving it all over again, it's just fascinating as hell... 😯😔🤷
Man's a great story teller. Love that shirt btw. 🔥Phil the chicken man tester? 😆 Thanks for sharing.
lolll thats Phil Testa who was at one point, the capo de tutti capi of the bruno crime family also connected to Nicky Scarfo (family successor after testas death), nephew (phil leonetti) who turned informant. Leonetti done time in Arizona with Sammy.
@@GrandTheftAuto_Online I see. These nik-names they have are the most entertaining to me. :)

Thanks for you stories Sammy
Lovely beautiful rat
I pay for YT premium so no adds. But anywho that was a tear jerker man. Woof, I'm at work fighting back tears. What a marvel, even in its ugliness,
this human experience.
This guy has got good at telling tall tales. He's always the cool guy in every story
funny that eh :)
Yeah, but this is a pretty well-known story. It’s a good storyteller, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
How could you possibly know anything about his stories and if they're true or not?
He is the cool guy. The cool guys are the ones that lived to talk about it.
The bouncer body guard chuck ziti is retelling his tale and reshaping his reputation and trying to now retell history with a smile on Vlad. You all are fools for believing him and Vlad and Mark here. Chuck Sammy glad Mark here they all scam and lie and make money off murder and abuse and violence and assault.
Predators and vultures some are the predators and some the prey and some benefits off the effects like vultures like Vlad and mark.
When he tells the story on his audio podcast it’s so intense and told so well when you hear it on there he conveys so much emotion when he retells it on other platforms he has already told the story so many times so it doesn’t hit the same as his podcast but this story is so crazy the fact he can even talk about this on RUclips is insane
Say what you will, this man is a natural storyteller that lived it to tell the story we all love to hear about. Great video!
He’s boring af
Johnny Keys Simone was my grandfather’s good friend. Pal Joey Farinella and Nicky Russo as well, All Trenton NJ (Chambersburg) heavyweights. It was an amazing place to grow up as a kid.
The friendly’s was right outside of Trenton in Hamilton a suburb of Trenton In Kmart’s plaza. I ate there a lot as a kid it was in a strip mall off of Olden ave.
Tell it from jail where u should be
he was n did tell it lol idiot!! he turned n confessed too 3 mafia wars and 19 murders!!! cos gotti wanted to kill him if he didnt do gotti's life in prison sammy said fuck you gotti fucked up!!! sammy outlived em all man!!!!
That man would delete your sad face from this planet if you said that to his face. But we all know, coward keyboardist like you...
Scummy Sammy
A lot of them should be, but instead they all have You Tube channels
@HamiltonRb yes they are the absolute worst
His GREATEST story. I've heard him tell it before and it only gets better each time. Thanks.
Great video Mark💪
Love listening to Sammys stories 👊🏼
Why do i feel like hes talking about himself when he said "a guy came out of the weeds"😂 @:45
I love Sammy’s stories! Keep em coming!
Once upon a time, there were consequences for taking another person's life. Now, it's talked about openly and capitalized on. It's a stain on our society.
Oh the good ol’ days. Where they made movies about killing but it was more sophisticated.
There is no once upon a time. People have always capitalized on stories about murder, and there are light sentences for convicted murderers in any time period.
Don’t fool yourself, people are still primitive. Stories of sex, crime, revenge, murder, betrayal are intriguing.
The US government makes money all the time off of killing.
its interesting how you say this implying there were never movies/books glorifying violence in the past. get a grip
@@copyvlasic mark here is a vulture benefitting off the murder like a vulture taking scraps afterwards.
We need a “follow up” on John Alite. Preferably hour plus. 💯
He's all over the internet
Ain’t no honor amongst thieves
Pretty crazy to see how he’s reliving that day - his breathing speaks louder than him in those moments. Absolute madness but yet such a great depth of emotion. The best script writers couldn’t tell a better story
so we are now just throwing in ads just like that , which we paid yt not to have , instead of "presenting todays sponsors" ??? wow...
Exactly!!! It’s now a pattern with these big channels!
Mark is a vulture. Benefits on the murder by eating the scraps. Mark is now greedy and is selling you the viewer - out.
I've listened to this story now 4 times lol and it literally never gets old....God when do we get a movie showing these type of storys. would be crazy
Please have Sammy on all the time, lol. So interesting. He puts you right in the scene! 👍👏👏👏
Wow, this guy is 80 yrs old. Guy looks good, especially after the life he lived. He really is one tough MFer.

Great promotion for his channel
End of the story is Louie Milito takes out Keys and Sammy takes credit
You are unbelievable kaco
This is SAMMY AT HIS BEST he should always do his shows like this it's brilliant
Several years ago I was somewhat intrigued by these guys and the lives they led. The more books I read and things I learned, the more I realized there is nothing special about them. Bottom line, they are no different from any other scumbag criminals. Sammy makes this hit sound like something out of a spy novel. When it’s nothing but a psychotic committing a kidnapping and murderer.
100%
Thanks mark again love hearing Sammys stories 🙏
wtf is up with these advertisements
at least place the ad somewhere will we will watch the ad not mid convo
So many Chicken Bosses - they're all Roosters
Every time he tells this story, he adds new details to make it more dramatic than the previous telling. I'm not saying he is lying per se. Dozens of collaborators have confirmed the details of this story and that Sammy was the man behind it. But the thing about good stories is you don't have to add things to them to make them exciting.
Buenos Días Mark Let's Learn
Born and raised in Philly. I walked past Testas home where the pipe bomb blew up to go to school everyday. When he said he was going to extinguish this gentleman in "Friendly's"? I said "Oh my god. That's a burger 🍔 and ice cream 🍦 joint. A family place.
I dont understand y phil testa didnt have little nicky and his son salvi as well as phil leonetti to take out keys? Y farm it out to new york?
I'm guessing cause then it would have been a full blown civil war. By letting the commission decide he could claim it was outside of his control and they called it. Just a guess
Because Keys would know all those guys from Philly and suspect them. It was a war and Sammy was a “messenger” from the trusted Big Paul and Gambinos. Keys trusted Paul with his life and it cost him. Far as I can tell.
I love listening to Sammy tell stories. He really is great at telling them.
Love these mob stories. They are my absolute favorite.
SAMMY! I’m in Phoenix Arizona too. Let’s grab some pizza together sometime. On me!
tf is the point of premium if you still getting ads?

With a grain of salt.
Of all the mafia stories I've ever heard this is hands down the best . An amazing account of mafia life from a man that lived it and managed to stay alive all these years.
I see no honor in the way they lived.
I see no honor in military killing innocent woman and children. Same SHIT
@ ok.🤷🏾♂️
@@whatifitisrealnot remotely close to the same thing bud
They did live by their own code of honor, even if the things they did are perceived as dishonorable to us. But that honor eroded away. That's what this story is about.
There is no honor amongst thieves @@donniedarko8234
I’m not sure you’re permitted to put your own ads in like that….
Speculate all you want about Sammy's (obvious) tendency to puff himself up in his stories, but the things he says about Johnny "Keys" Simone MUST be accurate. If they weren't, we would see similar praise given to all of his vanquished targets. But that's not at all the case. He talks like this about *nobody* ...other than Simone.
It seems to me that's more than sufficient evidence to confirm what Sammy says about Simone's character.
That part about the shoes always chokes me up. What an outstandingly thoughtful gesture. 😥
It makes you wonder how history would have been different if The Commission had backed Simone/Caponigro instead of that unhinged maniac Scarfo...
The bull is in-fact a 🐀
Go tell him that!!go look up y he told!!
Sammy needs his own channel. Fascinating story teller.
I think he has his own channel
youtube.com/@officialsammythebull?si=PqwS2mzPjPYINbDw
❤❤❤ He has his own channel full of videos 🕯️🫶🏼💓
Sammy needs to grow up
Are you serious? Lol Sammys has had a channel for years with alot of videos and a podcast
Micky Rooney? aint heard that name in years.
You gave him the honor and respect he deserved. And I know for sure that if that was anyone else in front of him he wouldn’t even bother asking for favors. He honored you with a lot of respect by asking favors and going away the way he did.. true definition of cosa nostra
You can tell Sammy’s reliving that day I can tell that one was hard
What? He’s getting paid plus he’s a rat…he doesnt care if you live or die. He sold drugs to kids…he’s a lowlife
He must have told this story a thousand times & added the tapatio as he gets deeper into it 😆
5 Italian family's from New York...Legends... respect 🙏
This is a great story. The only thing that makes me question some of it is that the investigator said Keys was beaten before being killed. The way the story is told is that Keys was treated with respect and only shot in the head. Even protected when Joey was yanking him from the van. Sammy didn't mention anything about him being beaten, at all.
Sammy. Changed the story in each interview and mark here benefits off the murder like a vulture after the killing taking scraps
Mark makes money like a vulture cleaning scraps
Maybe he got beaten when they dragged him in the van? Just guessing
This man has absolutely no empathy at all
Cannot have any empathy because in the circles he ran in, that would be a sign of weakness. most of these mafia guys are emotionally dead to be able to do all the violence they do to others. I knew a guy out west where i live that was a Norteno gang member. When he was beating down a southsider or an enemy. He would be euphoric. laughing and getting a high because of the beating he was doing to another man. He used to tell me that besides sex, violence was the thing that gave him euphoria. He hunted down south siders NOt with a gun. He was the type who would go to the mall and just beat the living shit out of them. And for several days he would relive it by telling us what he had done. He is doing 25 to life because of an attempted murder. With his bare hands, no knife or gun play. I always told him that one day he was going to run across some enemy that actually had a gun and he was going to get hurt. He never listened. I do write him once a month , just so he knows that there is someone outside of prison that still thinks of him. He will parole next spring at the age of 44 since he went in at 19. I wonder to myself if he has mellowed out with age or if he is going to come out still doing what he did. only time wll tell.

This story is better than any mob movie show I have ever seen. I actually caught myself tearing up and I’m not a soft person.
Why is he called Sammy the bull and not Sammy the rat Eastern total the same stories for the past 20 years everybody don't care anymore😅
Stop hating punk
I do.
I call em sammy the bullshitter for how many lies he’s been caught saying lol
@MrGarymuldoon no mate why do u pple always have to dog pple. If he chasss your ip address and lands at your door i think it will be another opinion u would hold.
@@shafserious2805 ahaha it’s not dogging on people when they’re proven compulsive liars besmirching everyone else’s character when they can’t rebut because they don’t have immunity like the snitch who betrayed everyone he grew up around. He wouldn’t step foot in this neighborhood and will never come back nor stand infront of anyone who would call him out with facts and his own words that contradict themselves. Lee cole went to visit him and nothing lol he’s surrounded by agents for the rest of his life. This Sammy’s burner account? Would be happy to have a live conversation with you and watch you stutter to the facts I would present and holes in your new narrative
Sounds like Johnny Keys should've been the boss of Philadelphia, not Nicky Scarfo. Scarfo was crazy and paranoid about people in his own family and had them wacked. Including Phil Testas son. He was really bad for business and wound up doing life.🎉😢😮
Didn’t this guy rat ? N didnt this guy kill people . Hurt families. wtf u giving him time of day mark.
I'm pretty sure most of the people interviewed on here have hurt families and what not
