Roy DeMeo: The Dark Reign of the Mafia's Most Feared Hitman

Roy DeMeo was one of the most ruthless hitmen in mafia history. As part of the Gambino crime family, DeMeo headed the DeMeo crew, a gang of criminals who committed over 100 murders during the 1970s and 80s. This video takes a look at DeMeo's dark reign, from his childhood in Brooklyn to becoming a made man for the Gambinos, and his gruesome murder methods that earned him the nickname "The Butcher." DeMeo's crew operated out of the Gemini Lounge, where they disposed of bodies of their victims. The crew's downfall ultimately came when members began cooperating with the government and DeMeo himself was murdered in 1983. This is the story of the infamous Roy DeMeo.

You forgot after they would shoot a guy in the head, then they would quickly wrap a towel around it to stop the bleeding and the stab the person in the heart to also stop blood flow. You know, they wanted to keep things easy for the cleaning lady. Lol

200 murders 😂😂😂 not even close. 70,72

[@GiacomoRizzo46]

There is 75 documented and when you have people like Art Ruffles and Kenny McCabe put the number at over 100 I would intend to believe them being people actually in the know and worked on the Demeo Crew case.

[@z9zou]

70,72 is confirmed kills. But it was definitely higher.

[@southie3177]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@z9zouno it wasn’t. And the 70 72 aren’t “ confirmed “! The list is online. A few unknown victims on that list , murders that happened after DeMeo was murdered etc. 🤷‍♂️. So that number is still high but at least has some actual victims on it Ruffles and McCabe??? Lol yeah because law enforcement NEVER inflates numbers. 😂. Come on you’re smarter than that

Went to vegas they have objects and memorabilia he killed people with at the MOB museum. It was a euphoric feeling being at that museum where this man evidence was. this man was on killing spree but known for being wreckless and bring too much attention on the mafia murders. The museum was insane.

What about the gemini twins? Thats a story in itself

[@AhmedM10106]

They need to come up with a film based on Demeo. A very underrated Mafia figure. He played a huge role in the Gambino, especially during the war against Italians and the Irsih gang. The Italians ended up winning the war.

[@angeldesigns1385]

They made a movie released in 2023 called “inside man” about the DeMeo crew. I watched the trailer and it looked pretty awful. It just looks like a bunch of oblivious libs not worthy of wise guy roles. They didn’t use the real names of the twins, they changed the story, and added a bunch of hip flair. It looks rather insulting to be honest.
