Disrupt [ Mafia Plot ]

great job, great channel,, keep it up! did we see this on sopranos or film?

[@Sitdownnews]

Sopranos? See what?

[@nagone11]

Wow..really good story John, just goes to show, you really can't get caught slipping out here...thinking is a valuable commodity. Have a great weekend.

[@ulfberthbark9520]

This is to good my friend. Enjoy it after a weekends work. Thx for lifting me up. Big love from Sweden!

[@frankbernat740]

It’s best to be considered “paranoid” then dead, that’s for sure. It is an intelligent way to approach things is all!! Love the episode!!

Another Excellent Episode

[@btlarkin]

Outstanding story John. So many stories I read where the opportunity is too good to be true and the opportunity was brought to you by a stranger …. Often means you are the target whether it is cops or criminals. Great job to you on analyzing the situation and the guy making the ‘offer’.

[@Sitdownnews]

To be honest, at first the money sounded so good I didn’t think of the danger. When it did hit me it all seemed crystal clear. I do not believe anything good would’ve came out of that.

[@DVC_Park_Hoppers]

I recognized Gossip in Melville immediately i live a couple of miles away from there that was great quick thinking on your part John you guys were probably walking into a trap great vlog.

[@anthonyant1589]

I’m a veteran of the iraq war and situational awareness kept us alive. That’s what you did in this incident to avoid being ambushed

[@Sitdownnews]

That is a good point. People love to call me paranoid, but my way of thinking saved lives.

[@HamiltonRb]

Thats so true. There is a saying in construction to measure twice & cut once. In that life you have to think twice before acting once.

Thanks John !

[@kowalski3769]

There is a lot of wisdom in that story! Thinking a few steps ahead instead of jumping right and being blinded from the possibility of a large payday, is a life lesson to take to heart! If $$$ was easy everyone would have lots it. I also like the community page ( even thought I get them, wrong sometimes 😅) and that you take time to respond to people's posts! Not a lot of KZbinr's do that. They make a post and ask a ? but then never give another reply.

[@Sitdownnews]

Thanks for watching and participating.

[@dinospencer7699]

Great story. Common sense is better than self defense

[@lovernotfighter]

Thanks for the great story. Wow!! a very close call. Good that you saw it so clearly. It seems so easy to get killed in your line of work. Take care.

[@steve-manchesteruk4598]

Great story John. Probably not something you want to hear but I am sure that in different circumstances you had the instinct to move upward in the family due to your forward thinking and sense of danger. I am sure you are or could be a very good chess player. Keep up the great work. Always look forward to new posts.👍

[@Sitdownnews]

Thank you and I put those instincts to work for me in different ways now. Especially in the business world.

Mr. Pennisi Good Show. When I was in the Military, I learned you could never have to much Intel. when You was going on an Op. When lives were at stake the more You know the safer everyone will be. I was wondering was You taught this by someone or just was smart enough to pick it up as You went along? I know You had a couple of Smart Men around You when You was younger . Have a Great Weekend. Stay Safe My Friend

[@Sitdownnews]

I agree, Mr. Green the more you know about a situation, the better off you are. I don’t know, I guess it rubbed off. Tony Moscatiello was a sharp guy. It must’ve rubbed off.

I don’t believe he was setting us up. If that were the case, why induct us?

[@chrislaverick6413]

@@Sitdownnews well then here is another question, had the worst case scenario happen and there was a ambush, would crea have reacted? Or Would he have had to be notified if there was a ambush

[@jtsjc1]

Hey John good story thanks. Good thinking ahead especially when you're in a situation that's not to your advantage. Sounds like Anthony dealing with his wife might be worse than the Genovese guys.

[@billrom795]

Good story John, thanks

[@erikthorsen4466]

Great story John and shows again how things work in that life. People who are calling you being on your toes in that life "paranoid" obviously don't know the life and haven't been anywhere near it. They just like to talk. They also miss the obvious, you and Anthony were associates at this point and the Genovese could have ambushed you guys with little or no recriminations. These naysayers are the kinds of guys who would have been hitting the bricks in their best running shoes when reality doesn't match their imaginations. You know the type.

[@Sitdownnews]

The people who speak negatively would not and could not, last one day on the street or in any of these situations.

[@VAcreeper]

That theme is menacing AF

[@billy8216]

very interesting john, I know that strip club as i am from Long Island, but I never hung out there. I always heard the mob had control of these clubs on Long Island. i used to go to some years ago. Can you tell us the current mob interest in any other strip clubs on Long Island. i know there aren't many, but a few in Huntington. I heard the Pagans tried to shake one down a few years ago. How about Mirage in Farmingdale? thanks, good stuff............

[@Jason-xx3lp]

I like your thinking and think you are right. I think things over like this all the time. Guys are easy to set up if they think they can earn money they get excited for money and rush

[@leevancleef358]

John - who is the guy with you in those pics in the beginning of your videos? the guy that's with you in the one when you are pointing at the camera?

[@petethegreek1157]

After listening to the story, it sounds like a setup. You guys could have been walking into the lion’s den. I’ll be waiting to hear about who gave up that list on you guys. Really enjoyed this one JP🔥 I hope Anthony still has his “consigliere” by his side to keep him out of trouble and out of harms way lol

[@nakdad]

excellent

[@ML-mk2my]

Fantastic story JP. I really don’t GAF what people may have said about you being “paranoid,” (And know you could’ve cared less as well) in my opinion, I call that educated. If more guys did their homework like you always seem to have done, maybe some guys would still be around for their wives and children. (Instead of the ground or prison) God Bless JP, salute 🍷

[@Sitdownnews]

Very true, some say I make myself out to be a hero in stories. Not true, but this is coming from the same mentality as guys in the street who are still talking on phones.

[@user-rw2ko1fq1u]
