--------
After leaving the witness protection program and relocating to Arizona, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano made headlines thanks to a high profile interview with Diane Sawyer. The interview was a part of his book launch, a decision he admits was spurred on by ABC producers he had become friendly with. Though there was a hefty bounty on his head due to his cooperation against the Gambino crime family, Gravano says nothing negative happened right away after the interview. A hit team did eventually track him down, but were unable to make their move as he had relocated to a Mexican neighborhood he says was optimal for protection. Exposure to the neighborhood community resulted in the local gang leader offering Gravano a form of protection. Gravano claims that he was well-prepared with weapons in every room of his house ahead of his eventual arrest on drug charges.

[@gourdguru]

*"I’m not sure why people always try to find flaws."* lotta mob snitches and former hatchetmen are full of crap. even Sammy says so about a few of em. talking with vlad in i think this same interview session he calls out hitman Iceman Kuklinksi for being full of it. it's better to be cynical and assume it's crap until you can at least somewhat say "i can't say he's lying, and at least if he's a liar, he's a consistent one." honestly this doesn't just apply here, lots of people are full of crap, and it's better to at least assume that at first so you expect it and know what to look for, than to trust them at face value blindly and get screwed because you were asleep at the wheel and just took it on faith. i would assume a guy like Sammy would agree, since if he wasn't the suspicious type he likely wouldn't still be breathing, considering his line of work.

It's unfortunate that Sammy fell back into old habits when he was in Witness Protection and then lost almost another 20 years of his life to prison due to the ecstacy conviction. He could have put out another book or whatever to make more money. I know KZbin wasn't around back then. Whatever stipend he was living on probably wasn't enough for him after what he was used to. I am surprised he is alive and well after everything he's been through and I read he had some health condition back like 10-15 years ago that he obviously overcame. He's a great storyteller and I have enjoyed his KZbin Channel.
