NFT: Sammy Gravano Interview -

short lease : 5/1/2021 3:53 am

Found this on "Youtube". It was published in October 2019 and probably conducted shortly before then because he is old in this piece.

I am not sure what it is about these guys (this is 1 in a series of interviews of gangsters this guy has done), but I can listen to these old guys talk for hours about their exploits. It is a 2.5 hour interview and it felt like 20 minutes went by.


It is probably not for everyone. There is nothing gory or explicit ... it is totally safe for work - if you have 2 and 1/2 hours at work to watch it : ). I just mean he is an admitted, convicted killer and kind of a controversial gangster. I would not be surprised if people objected to his existence on the planet period.


This interview sort of changed my mind (a little) about him ... but, that is what he is - a CONMAN. So I am not surprised. Still a lot of what he said makes sense. Out of all the people he killed there was not 1 "civilian". They were all other criminals(?) who broke the rules. Will that get him a karmic hall pass in an after life if it exists? Probably not. : )


Anyway - I thought it was interesting and thought others might also enjoy it?

A Rat. He was not a "witness". He knew what he was getting into. Instead of being a stand up man he decided to sit and aim.
Haven’t listened to this one yet

mfsd -

There are 2 channels that I know of (there maybe more) - that have a lot of great interviews with ex-Mob guys.

Valuetainment and djvlad (Larry Mazza, Anthony "Hootie" Russo, and John Pennisi are great interviews).

John Alite is an ex-mob guy and has his own channel.


I love the stuff. : )

Rip - I knew it would not be for everyone. I knew some people would object on principle alone.

There is a lot of other interesting stuff on the channels. However most of the interviews involve guys who cooperated at 1 level or another.

I love the stories though. I love having front row seat to stories regarding history. Criminal history but, history none the less.

Gravano didn't take any skin from my nose .... I have no beef with him.
agree was a tremendous interview

Most of the guys in that life were. It is why so many of them flipped when the pressure was on. The overwhelming majority of these guys were lazy thugs with no real skills or options in life.
