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.

[@276Chyld]

Who else pretty much knows all these mob stories but continues to watch them because we're addicted to them ❤

[@douglassauvageau7262]

We're addicted to more than the stories. 'PANDERING' is now the sole province of State and local governments duly elected through democratic process'.

Prohibition was a god send for the Mob !

“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

[@jrock28]

Him and Lansky was a match made in the underworld.

[@Kruppt808]

Frank Costello as well

[@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

[@evanvandieman]

Glad to see a mob episode 👍

[@Mafiono]

Agree!

[@MrIlleism]

There's also Genovese

[@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.

[@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.

[@susanwaldron6831]

Brilliant as always.

[@arrogantbunion8502]

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

[@XtraTerrestrial_519]

Or 7 houses it in Canada

[@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.

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

[@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.🙂

[@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.

Johnny Torrio may have been the key-mentor of Luciano's 'business-model' - especially after Capone's public behavior attracted the attention of the Federal Government.

[@Jason-gg4lm]

Could have sworn you said his girlfriend's name was Gay All-Over😂

We checked it about eight times, her name was indeed Gay Orlova.

🤔,, 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 ....

[@highallmighty233]

But did he have the makings of a Varsity athlete?

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

[@user-ns2wl5fh5m]
