#37: The State of the Mafia: A 1967 FBI Report (Part Two)

[@SimonHarrison7]

You and OC shortz are the only ones worth watching in the Mob genre on KZbin mate. I think it’s time your work got far more recognition. You’re great at this, keep the videos coming 👍🏻

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Thank you for the kind words Simon! I work really hard to put the content together end-to-end, and I think the main reason my channel isn't as significant is that my time between episodes is greater than many other content creators. That's primarily because I spend a ton of time doing research before I put anything to paper so to speak, but then I do all other aspects myself which takes a lot of time as well. Additionally, I have a day-job, kids to care for, etc., so this is really my (really awesome) side hobby. I would love to move faster than I do currently, but the larger the channel, the greater the expectations. Therefore, I'm comfortable building my catalog of content and subscriber-base slow-and-steady. That said, it's people like you that make it worth the grind.

Dont forget Gary Jenkins

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Who can forget Gary? He's the best.

P.S you also got information wrong on the Lufthansa heist...Anthony Ruggiano said his father Fat Andy fenced the Lufthansa jewelry and his end was 500 thousand from it ..he split that with a very infamous member of the columbo crime family.. therefore it had to be over a million dollars worth of jewelry not 800 thousand...do yourself a favor tap into all resources for information not just fbi files

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Hi Shawn! I'm not sure I mentioned Lufthansa in this episode, but I probably mentioned it elsewhere (likely in the Billy Batts episode). I may have gotten the numbers wrong and who the split went to. It happens. I do my best to use a diverse range of sources and to put information together as best as I can, but in this case I hadn't heard Anthony's comments regarding his Dad's take from the heist. So, you can't include what you aren't aware of. That said, I'll continue to do my best to look at as many sources as possible prior to putting information forth.

Thanks for the support Murray!

[@murrayscott9546]

Like in Donny Brasco, where Pacino's character is standing right behind him in case he chokes, or misses.

Thank you Darnell! I do what I can.

[@rickwoods3952]

Been looking forward to this one!

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Hope you enjoy it Rick! Part Three will be a whopper, and I can't wait to get going on that one.

[@rickwoods3952]

@@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast I definitely did! You never fail to expand beyond what I thought I knew!! I would add Sammy Gravano to your list of transfers; I'm fuzzy on what was behind it, but am positive it involved a dispute.

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Thank you! I try. I should have added Gravano, but I felt like I had enough. His transfer was allegedly related to a beef with Ralph Spero, and after that his transfer to the Gambino's was arranged.

[@erikthorsen4466]

Fantastic video with lots of great info. Glad I found your channel.

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Thanks Erik! I'm glad you found my channel as well. I hope you enjoy the content going forward. Lots of good stuff planned.

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Thank you for watching Chucky as always! I'm going to assume you're jesting, but are you related to the Robert I referenced? Had to ask...

[@chuckyoneill9029]

@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast Yeah Jacob I was joking although it's a common clan name in Ireland 😂

[@TheGanglandHistoryPodcast]

Thanks for watching Thomas! I'm not 100% sure of the context of your comment, but I'll assume it's relating to the note around narcotics.
