You guys are the Best 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Life during prohibition was difficult and lucky didn't want to be a crumb ! Luciano was a fascinating Mafia figure. His friendship with Mayer Lansky was instrumental in his success.🤗

[@Backbenchers911]

All the narrators of your channel are clear, precise and likable, but the most preferred is this voice.

[@bobcosmic]

Prohibition was a god send for the Mob !

[@nancyvillines4552]

Which led to the drug trade.

[@judithcampbell1705]

I have been waiting for a documentary about Lucky Luciano for years. Thank 💛 you so much for sharing your work about him. He and Meyer are legendary and they deserve much praise imo. Ty again Sir.

[@evanvandieman]

Glad to see a mob episode 👍

[@Mafiono]

Agree!

[@MrIlleism]

There's also Genovese

[@jrock28]

Him and Lansky was a match made in the underworld.

“The world is changing and there are new opportunities for those who are ready to join forces with those who are stronger and more experienced” Charles Lucky Luciano

[@susanwaldron6831]

Brilliant as always.

[@shutup2751]

Luciano is power personified, compared to others who enjoy flaunting their power, Luciano was just content with having power and knew how to use it

[@spencertherren6806]

Guess I'm on another Mafia binge.✌️🇺🇲

[@CARL_093]

Luciano is considered the father of modern organized crime in the United States for the establishment of the Commission in 1931, after he abolished the boss of bosses title held by Salvatore Maranzano following the Castellammarese War. He was also the first official boss of the modern Genovese crime family. His friend and fellow gangster Lansky nicknamed him “Lucky” in 1929 after Luciano survived a gangland assassination attempt (Luciano also had a reputation for being lucky at gambling).

[@Luchiville]

Lansky didn't nickname him 'Lucky', and he didn't get the nickname after the assassination attempt. Luciano went by the Alias 'Lucky' as early as the 1910s.

[@sushanart]

Luciano is a favourite mafioso alongside Lansky and Siegel. Thank you! 😇🩷🙏🙌

[@BS-qg4ep]

"Yaaaaaa seeeeeeee's" *stokes stogie

[@Tremendous-one]

Where ever he is right now he's probably telling someone "do you know who I am?"

[@christiane3089]

He is in hell bro

[@undertoner385]

tough competition when these guys were building organized crime empires as kids

[@user-up5zg6ki8k]

Yeah imagine a time when there was less distractions such as video games, social media, etc. I believed they worked as kids too to help support their families

[@lovely1762]

​@@user-up5zg6ki8k Yep

[@emmalein7212]

Brilliant, thank you.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For this! Love your content ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-rx5if2np7m]

Thanks for this video, you have really good content. I'm from Serbia. Country with rich history and many interesting historical figures and events that happened. I think that people like Dušan Duško Popov, Dragoljub Draža Mihailović and Željko Ražnatović Arkan will be interesting to your viewers.🙂

[@claudettedelphis6476]

Yes indeed 🌿

[@gaylereid8264]

I’d like to know about leaders of Serbia😃

[@user-rx5if2np7m]

​@@gaylereid8264I think Mihailo Obrenović, Alexander I of Yugoslavia and Zoran Đinđić will be interesting to you. All three of them were killed, which unfortunately says a lot about things here. Of course, you've probably heard about Slobodan Milošević (our biggest mistake), but the way things are going current Aleksandar Vučić can surpass him in a few years.

[@freedmm3122]

The war on drugs are the same as prohibition! Drugs should be legalized for the same reason!

[@briantibbs5533]

Please do more gangster / mobster documentaries

$300,000 back then would have bought at least 150 houses. $6,000,000 today might get you 20 houses.

Love the mob episodes. Notifications on now

[@cahlendavidson2921]

I'm always fascinated by the mutual friendship between Meyer lansky, bugsy Siegel and lucky

[@spg30]

Great video 🎥

[@keithharrison9797]

Great Documentary !

[@ashgangtv2675]

Yall on the mob now. Awesome

[@gaylereid8264]

I actually admire Luciano. He wasn’t about to be “a crumb”(so Italian) !!! So he was to be the best at what he did. Ambitious, ruthless, unconscionable, BUT the best.

[@vicmorrison8128]

Like the best of felonies.

[@Feline_Frenzy53]

Lucky Luciano, my favorite mobster.

[@rmp9417]

Excellent voice, this narrator

Lucky was a pioneer......

[@user-ns2wl5fh5m]

this was a kid from Italy, born in a time before education was respected, who made a life for himself.. obviously , having anyone close to him was unimportant..

[@highallmighty233]

But did he have the makings of a Varsity athlete?

A small reminder, sao paulo brazil has the largets Italian population outside of Italy 🎉 theres more people whom have italian ancestry in Sao paulo than rome 🎉

[@markbra]

It was already built when he arrived

[@SacredDreamer]

🤔,, how come his corpse was shipped back to America to be buried in that land ?? 🤔I mean, he was deported back to Italy ,, twice ,, seems odd that it was important for his body to lay in American soil ....

[@zanychelly]

I wonder how Brazil manage to avoid the Mafia, despite having the largest concentration of Italians outside Italy. However, these Italians were mainly from the north and not from the southern and Sicilian regions.

[@vdavid9395]

Brazil is similar to Russia, in that the government is the Mafia

Fun fact my grandfather was having an affair with Luckys wife while she was still married to him. Her name was Igea Lisoni I even have pictures of them together. Also keep in mind my grandfather was a black man.
