Frank Costello - Series 1 - The Prime Minister of the Underworld Bootlegging Wars

[@smroog]

History & Organised Crime Your videos are amazing !!! I just hope they are well researched and somewhat true. But ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

They are well researched and the fact other channels are now repeating my information s a great sign. The information is checked against a lot of sources. I looked at Lansky's book by Uri Dan I looked at Costello’s book and Luciano's as well as hundreds of press articles and FBI files etc. I can assure you it checks through.

Thank you for feel free to check out part 2 (my apologies for the janky ai voice there are few mispronounced words in a few of my docs)

Exceptional vintage news media still-motion photography job. Of Costello in the court room.😉. He had his moments of glory & pain.

Looking forward to watching these!

Are you a mob history lover? What are your credentials and resources? Thank you!

[@powell4661]

What are yours Paula?

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

@@PaulaWilley-zq5rd I have studied history for over 10 years Mainly political corruption and American History as well as European history. I have studied American criminals history also especially the history of organized crime various committee hearings and more. As well as studying social trends and changed as well scientific changes. I love the topic and have kept on it for many years. The references are all in my doc do Luciano documentary is a accumulation of his books as well as other book. Timeliness where we look at dates and times of laws and events that happened and match it with Others to see which ones make more sense. To go into all of it will take too long. In my documentaries I openly state where the information comes from. I also get magazines like Life Magazine, Look Magazine, Time Magazine and more that were covering evens as they were happening.

This would have been an amazing movie 🎬 with the technology we have these... the detailing would have looked so much better 😢

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

Thank you for that maybe I will use that tech to make a better doc. But I'm a small KZbinr soing this on my own. I never done this anything like this before. But I'm hoping as I get better so will the quality of my docs. But thank you so much for your feedback

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent news media still-motion photography job/detailed maps. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing.

I probably would have dabbled in some part time " Boot legging " my self 🤔. 1st conviction 6-months unsupervised probation. Viewing this presintation from the comfort zone of my computer🖥room. Along the "Space Coast" 🚀 . of Florida🐊🐊🐬🐬. didn't Santo Trafficante not only control Florida's organized syndicate. But also was a special guest of Dictator Fidel Castro under house arrest-???😳. Definitely not a good choice employment wise for the faint of hearted😉. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024). 🌈🎉🌞💵😉.

Hi. Thanks for your work. I want to start the Costello series. This should be the first one? Then series 2 and 3? Just asking as they don't seem to be in order on the video list. Also, this has series 1 part 1. Are there additional parts to series one? Thank you.

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

I sorted the order for you. There is no Part 2 to the first series my apologies for the confusion

[@josephkoester7051]

[@richardanderson7091]

His husky voice kept him out of the military?? I doubt that

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

He had voice issues due to a operation he had when he was a child; it damaged his vocal cords and therefore was allowed to skip military service. Makes sense as he would not be able to yell or shout on the battle field.

Mob had pictures of Hoover x dressing !

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

That type of black mail would have useful during the 60s and 70s. So why did they not use it...

[@jsparacino4523]

Too bad you opted to have this documentary narrated by AI. It's a good documentary but the narration is sterile and many of the words and names are mispronounced.

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

My documentaries are too long for me to voice. Plus I have to work a normal 12 hour job 4 days a week. I have no time for doing the voice over AI was the quicker option.

[@jsparacino4523]

I understand.@@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919

[@westonjp612]

Actually, if you just spell the names differently, you can make the AI pronounce them properly. But that might be tedious unless you can just find/replace

[@Star_Gazing_Coffee_Lover]

AI is fine.

[@kevanwillis4571]

Sorry, couldn't listen to that voice.

My Dad used to service slot machines in hidden backrooms across Georgia and Alabama and deliver the take to a deli in Atlanta that run by guys from NOLA

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

They defianly did. I hope you enjoed the doc. Check out my docs on Carlos Marcello. I will cover the Southern Mafia after Chicago. I will end my entire series on Carlos Marcello. The most powerful godfather in America. The Southern Mafia which was pretty much the major cities across the south were under Marcello's control or the Chicago out fits control. The history in the south is never talked about your father may have been connected with some serious power houses. His job was not to be taken lightly. Marcello's brothers pretty much had the same job.

Hoover sold out for $2 bets

[@HistoryAndOrganisedCrime1919]

A bit more than that. Hoover also used the mafia to keep a hold of politics and further his own means.

He sought forgiveness later on in life and these were different times. However I get you point they brought misery onto a lot of people and for that there is a special punishment in the grave.
