- In light of Frank Cullotta's recent death, we look back at his first and only interview with VladTV, where he detailed his life experiences alongside Tony Spilotro, which was depicted in the film "Casino." Frank explained how he and Tony met as kids and how they grew up committing crimes together well into adulthood. He also spoke about killing informants, cooperating with the feds, and working with Martin Scorsese on "Casino," which you can hear more about in the full video above.

I love that midwest Chicago accent. I could listen to Frank tell stories all day long and never get bored.
Oh I do as well, here's a copy of my comment:
Copy:
The following is not a statement about the subject being discussed, it is not even where my mind is as I write this comment.
I enjoy listening to his speaking voice and accent, the dialect that takes me back to my childhood and it's a special feeling to hear *"the Authentic Chicago dialect"*
💫
PS : not 1 of us have any business judging another, nor that we may not respect some subject or how they did their experiences, but it feels great to hold a thought that "they achieved the greater clarity of thought and living the Life Journey", gained a Peace, Harmony, and greater desired living experiences in their journey. I feel this man did just that.

Chicago will always be my home and is a part of my me, my Soul I suppose. Special feeling, even if I lost the accent.
Cullotta died 20 minutes ago and Vlad already got the flashback.
Facts he on it
Glad A Vulture
Urban Exotic’s he probably has a bunch already made for all off his interviews
Im sure he aint really mean 20 mins ago lol
Died 12:30 am dip shit
RIP to a man who was betrayed by his best friend, a real gangster. 🖤💪🏼👊🏼
to be fair when his two friends did that robbery and the mob ask him if he was there and he said no and he told where the guys were cause the mob was looking for them and he knew they would kill him too if he didnt say anything? he told them where his friend was and they tortured and killed his friend remember that? so Cullotta, i enjoyed his stories and the streets is never fair but he was wrong for betrayal as well................. just being fair. rip and i liked his channel.
wapminnin99 yeah that’s fair.
yes, RIP Tony the Ant
Amazing interview. Huge fan of Casino and this story. Wonderful and interesting hearing the correct story. Thank you. God Bless.

always good interview
RIP Frank. From what I’ve seen on CZcams you were and are a kind and fascinating individual.
The difference with this generation: you're supposed to kill snitches not reward them
the whole snitching this going back since organized crime started in america. folks that snitch are able to make movies like henry hill Goodfellas and Cullato in Casino cause they told their stories so their case is closed and they already admitting their dealings. also, the streets is not the wave. imagine the government FBI plays a tape of your boss plotting to kill you and your facing 50 years many would snitch and hence why the streets is dirty and not the pace to be.
F*** all criminals anyways but that's part of life. Like he says it was either snitch or get killed cuz they were going to kill him. He only had one choice. His people turned on him so f*** them.
If they never planned on killing him and the FBI never played him that tape of Spilotro and Lombardo talking about "cleaning yr dirty laundry" he would have never flipped in my opinion....
But what would you do ??
Spilotro blamed him for shit Spilotro actually did and he was gonna be killed for it !!!!
Exactly and I don't understand why everyone praise Rats nowadays
Rip Frank..he passed today. Pray he had Yeshua in his heart
RIP he looked so different in this interview compared to an interview he did in 2007 he’s almost unrecognizable. Looked a lot better in this interview
Rip hope he has a meet up with spillotro on the after life and let’s him know there’s no such thing as OMERTÀ
If he meet up with spillotro it would be in HELL and no other places.
Ye and HELL is where Frank will go because he’s a dirty RAT
He will testify against Spilotro in hell.
@@ciaranotoole904 their all burning in hell for their sins there ain’t no gangsters in heaven
Frank changed his life, developed a relationship with God and expressed sorrow for his sins. I expect that he is now in Heaven. Tony Spilotro on the other hand… not so likely in Heaven but this is between him and God.
He died about 16 hours ago not 20 minutes ago anyway he’s in supergrass heaven
U think his in heaven?
No such thing as heaven we’ll all see when we get there take your last breath but as for him i believe he’s in the same place as anyone else
I'm going to buy and read all of his books. I could've listened to Mr. Cullotta's stories for hours!!!!
Rip frank I just was getting into his CZcams channel
He's resting in hell.

Ive heard doctors talk about psychopaths having a "flat affect" and i always wondered what that meant. Watching this interview, I now see exactly what they mean lol.
I like how he says "oh ya" when asked about robbing banks, as if he forgot about it
Damn, Vlad really gets to interview people shortly before they die.... He must have that LIST 👀 lol, Nah but RIP Frank Cullotta. Good to have interviews like this documented.
Sad thing on a wire tap Tony said keep Frank in jail, to keep him safe, The FBI never played that part
VLAD BEEN AIRED THIS VIDEO MONTHS AGO JUST A REPLAY

Hello see if you can do a video on the Holdup of the golf mill sears roebuck and company store in Niles , Illinois , on march 14 , 1964 Victim Theodore Zilligen
I saw the flashbacks coming a mile away with a full upload "flashback" I mean
Here it is
Frank was the 3rd guy! 😅 Even if he wasn’t there he was still involved
Nawww there was no 3rd guy technically speaking ...
Why does Vlad never try to engage with his interviewee's? A guy tells him a story HE ASKS FOR, then Vlad responds with "Okay...soo" *queue next question*. The most disinterested responses I've ever seen. Other than that I love this interview
He's a culture vulture. Just like a gold prospector sifting gold through his pan. He isn't looking for the seam of gold, he's just looking for quick profits.

great memory for names.....
Nice guy Mr Collatta
The Mob: Couldn't get him.
Covid: I'll take the job.
wow thats cold
He died of COPD he had it for years and it got gradually worse. The COVID story is nonsense, they are just redesignating deaths as COVID in order to scare people with big numbers so that people surrender there freedom out of fear. I know this for a fact because my aunt died of old age recently aged 85 and when we got the death certificate it said died of COVID 19 which was ridiculous because they hadn’t even used that flawed test on her,so they just decided for themselves to put that on there probably on orders from higher up.
Wish he was still alive would have loved to take his tour !
I did. Met him.
Who would believe that the lawyer would decide to start telling the restaurant owner that his client is testifying against two local gangsters and asks maybe you know them
Irishmen can’t hold their liquor?! Ha! That’s a good fairytale! I know Micks that’ll drink anyone under the table
☘️ 🍻
Yeah, I love Frank but he was sorta wrong on that. However, people of Native American, Irish, Scottish descent, are missing something in their brain that works like an anti depressant. And, alcohol mimics this enzyme or whatever it is in the brain. Due to this, many people of Irish (and the others) descent drink to help their depression. It's not that they can't hold their liquor, they just need it.
I'm Irish & can confirm Frank is way off base with that statement. I was at a funeral last week & the wake lasted 4 days. No joke.
R.I.P Frank.
I just seen his CZcams channel coffee with Culotta.
"Viadock" if I didn't know he was from Chicago I'd swear he was from Milwaukee.
Vlad's voice reminds me of Dick Van Dyke.
Johnathan Banks would play a great Frank Cullotta when we do the Series
RIP :(
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Loved Casino
32:34... 'Now in those days they had no wire taps, they had the...' I can't make out what he is saying there! Anyone?
Everyone saying Glad put a curse on this man are forgetting the fact he was 80 years old smh
😂 right
frank was a great person and he is honest with his life
R. I. P. Frank
Where you always save more money.. that celozzi??
@@dupedexplained1016 that's my Dad
Thank you much appreciated
Mannhiem Rd was awesome. He is talking about the play pen. Right at the corner of Manhiem and Lake......it was a slotter house lol
stone park fashion shows. Mannheim was in a league of its own
Has the Pig Pen really been around that long?
RIP
R.i.p. Frank Cullotta
Frank rest in peace
He's resting in hell.
RIP to a real gangster
Rip my hometown legend
Hometown RAT
RIP Frank Culotta he was the man you know who you need to interview Frank Calabreese if you can get him his dad Senior was a big time capo in chicago the same time all this shit went down
Yeah Im surprised Vlad hasn't interviewed Frank Jr. talking about the Outfit....
Lol. Frank Sr was never a capo
I love how y’all are saying a gangster is in heaven lol
If heaven is even real. Hard to say.
All the stuff he did after he informed is what people are referring to.
I’m in heaven.
I heard he tried ratting on satan for a plea deal into heaven
Repentance is the key saying sorry means alot and changing your ways
My dad let me sit on his lap and steer the car when we were going down the highway I loved it old times long gone now I'm old
RIP Frank. Saluté and safe journey. 🖤♥️♦️♣️♠️💰💵💸🎲🎰🔫
Rest In Peace Frank!
Cant believe the cops were about to trow him out the window
Rip Frank, great guy
R.I.P Frank Cullotta
The Chicago outfit is like a small version of the Genovese family.
Rip Frank
I love how these old time gangsters, answer matter of factly, with "that's correct" and "that's a fact".
Dang! God Bless he and his!!
'You know I'd never lie to you Remo'
I can believe this guy. Hes old. Cleaning his conscience. Sammy the bull has alot of holes in his stories
I like Sammy’s stories. They’re entertaining. However, I notice during all his stories, Sammy always makes himself look good and always has the person in the story, whether it be the cop or the mob guy, always praise Sammy for whatever he’s talking about. Nobody gets that much praise. It’s just not real. Remember, when Sammy got immunity from all those murders because the Feds wanted John, well, Sammy was lucky to get that immunity deal, but he still got himself into a jackpot in Arizona and put his wife and kids into a jackpot too, selling extacy. Who does shit like that?
No more 'Coffee with Cullotta'
I know that was a great series.. Adam flowers did a great job interviewing frank.. Miss Frank's stories!!
31:30 “…house would light up like Wrigley Field…” 😝😝😝
We'll talk te Gad!
This guy is a real gangster.
Culotta was a minor player in the Chicago mob. He follows the same pattern as all these guys who’s stature and importance are elevated as time passes.
True and was a rat
I respectfully disagree.
Rest easy Frank
RIP Frank hope your final sit-down worked out for ya.
Wat his interview talking about mad Sam DeStefano
Rip
Great History
Damn this man was a great story teller loved his Italian accent .....tree weeks ago 😂
Italian Chicago accent, my dad sound the same
WHAT A LIFE , TO MUCH FOR ME.
"ok"
I grew up near the Manheim strip. Also I know some of the south loop places. He had geographic errors in exactly where a few things were. But I am sure what he is saying is correct...
This is what COREY HOLCOMB wuz talkin' 'bout. GLAD wud take "ADVANTAGE" of a "SAD" situation to enhance his own benefits.
56:41 That might be Piero’s, just south of the Convention Center. If the lawyer was really shooting his mouth off about the mob in *there* he must have had no clue at all.
During the shakeup in the 1990’s, Piero’s changed hands. It is now clean, with a rep as a cop bar and grill.
Frank Irishmen can't do a lot of things but they can definitely hold their liquor.

Wassup with folks dying after vlad interview
The scene thar he is in Casino always creeped me out, then I found out who he was and, it made sense. He shoots a guy in the head and just looked too natural for the actor it turned out it wasnt a actor it was Frank Fucking Collatta
Holy dick imagine living a life like this man lived... and then being potentially talked down to by vlad..
I wonder if he knew
JOHNY DANGEROUSLY?
When he passed away date?
Yesterday early morning
I never knew Chicago Italians called viaducts “vydock”. I’m from Chicago and black peoples also pronounce it the same way…
RIP FRANK
This guy or any of his cohorts are nobody to mess with. Cold hearted brutal murderers. All of them.
The Chicago accent sounds Canadian almost.
R.I.P Love ❤️ to the MOB
He’s where he belongs, rest in peace Frank
Tragic! GLAD you better stop puttin curses on these ppl 😂
He died?
What is the truth?? Was Tony found in a cornfield along with his brother. Were the brother beaten to death?? Frank doubts these claims, but that is what the Internet indicates. So that leaves me confused?!??!???
Yes everything you said is the truth and frank wasn't there to know facts,because they wanted to kill him too at that time,but I bet you didn't know that they killed Tony over wanting to be the boss and not because of the CASINO situation..
I live a similar life in the middle 70s same streets same neighborhood some of it sounds like my own story what a guy this Frank Cavuto I hope God gave him a break as I do for myself
Parole in the federal system? Cullotta seems a little confused.
