Wht don't you pay for premium then no adds it's great
Then maybe you should pay for cable or satellite tv like the rest of us then...smh
Or
Make his own documentary 😂
Well I pay for everything... youtube cable. Prime , Netflix, HBO, and a few more. He's right the music is to loud and the captions are never right or cut short. You all with very good ears are lucky. This man wrote the truth and the rest of you saying it can be better dont know what your talking about.

Watched this when it was first on the TV but ill still watch it again.
8th
Here I am, finding myself to admire a gangster
Gotta admit, he is good looking.👀
Fascinating documentary, very well edited and informative. Learned much new here today.
I love watching the Mafia stories.
I worked with the niece of Lucky Luciano. Italians are hardworking, all American people with integrity.
They look after their neighborhoods and take care of widows and orphans.
I think the mafia does too. At one time they did.
Does that include the murderers also ?
@@keithdupree9339 the crime families look after their murderers!
Great documentary
love these
Fantastic. 👍💯
It was so terrific...
Really grear post
A Must See 🤓👌🏻👊🏼
The best🙏🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Lovely 😎💥
Forget about lived. He eventually died. Death is final and irreversible. None is too tough in the eyes of death.
That’s hands down the dumbest analogy of life.
What they mean is he wasn't murdered or took out, he died as an old man of a heart attack! No one would dare have the balls to try and take Lucky out! He controlled it from prison, when he got deported , controlled it always!
@@JimmyKnight-ql4yfhe died trying to meet a producer trying to turn his life story to a movie, tell me he died because of old age.
@@INJEMBI I stand corrected, I had actually forgot that , thank you for reminding me. Your right, my friend.
This should be a meme.
I love the gas centeal heating thermostat on the wall !!!
He may have been on the throne as king of the underworld. But it was his right man like Frank Costello & Meyer Lansky who were the guys who helped build this empire of his.
who cares about it
You will always be a part of me 😮
When his trial started i thought, oh this must be how he got his name
i guess not!
He was sliced in the face while trying to be killed that’s were he got his name he got out of prison helping in the war
Surprise! LOL 😂
The biggest of the BIGGEST !
He was many times smarter than the politicians and the modern day Madoffs
Researched well
Lucky also was given the task, from a Sicilian Godfather, to watch over Sinatra Sr. and wife who had just emigrated from Sicily to NYC and eventually watched over the future Frank Sinatra's early childhood days.
THATS FAMILIA ITS NOT THAT WAY NOW GREED SELFISHNESS
if u came to me at 25 and said u can live a regular life, or u can have money, cars and poosy for 35 years as a gangster, but at the end of the 35 years u gotta go to fedral prison, sign me up to be a gangster. lmfao.
I know, right!😂
I'm curious why you would spell "you" "u" but you don't do it for "and" or "to" and I wonder what you'd or u'd do with "be" "see" "gee" "eye" "pea" "are" "tea" "why" and would a bad guy b an nme?
F’ck that.
@@tedmusson5179 y knot. ...?
I mean once the 34 years 11 months rolls around then it’s time for the last ride I guess 😂
🤔🤔🤔"IMPRESSIVE"!!!...💰💰💰💯
Killed a boss then made a rule u couldnt lol
Psst. He killed two bosses lol
Just one of many double standards in that life
Y
😢
Thatz how u stay alive 😂😂😂
He also informed when busted with herion.
A true CRIME BOSS. HOW MANY OF THESE ARE IN GOVERNMENT?
most of them
Crazy life he had!
Luciano was underated they talk more about al capone then they do him
Ya done good. That was an excellent telling of Lucky Luciano 🖤
theres a 2500 chevy maroon color or a 3500 maroon disel high country in garrettsville
The Very best mafia boss
I ❤Salc😮 Lucafna-which was “Lolucky” really nam
Glock firing around 29 minutes...😂
Luciano had just turned 64, two months earlier in the preceding November before his January death.
He was a remarkable man, but such a shame his capabilities were put to such awful uses. One can only imagine what he might have accomplished had he and some of the other family members teamed up in legitimate businesses and politics.
Remember how this video sort of pointed out that the government and the mafia have the same business model? :P
he was a murdering scumbag...it's is simple as that
Ha politics!!! Hellooo,politics IS the modern day mafia!
thugs and savages being thugs and savages.
They’d of got done for laundering mafia money 😂😂😂
These guys don't play dead serious about there money & intelligent to gain this income just fascinating
There is so many conflicting accounts about Lucky, hes like Billy the kid .
What's the song @ 5:34-6:30?
Wickedness Never Was " HAPPINESS " .
Wot a life ❤❤🎉🎉
THE FORMER KING OF ENGLAND.... LUCKY LUCIANO 💯
They loved him in Cuba
he will organize, organized crime... i cant believe ppl who havent finished elementary school want to be narrators.. Lmao ''if it was already organized crime then what did he organize?''Lol
There were crime organizations first, but they weren't very organized.
The statement flew over your mind
Wow, this is stupendous. It wasn't organized crime until Lucky came along and organized it. It was just a bunch of street thugs battling it out with each other. You must be high to not understand something so simple.
It has nothing to do with school. It's basic idiomatic expression
I dont know , Meyer had a ton of bread.
Once again with a crap title or maybe forgot the ?
Lanskey was the richest he also never got caught
The mop kept things in check..
Thnx for jurnalisam if is corect
The FATHER OF THE MAFIA FOR ALL THE TIME!👍GREAT RESPECT!
God bless Mr. Lucky Luciano.
He sure needs it for all the misery he left behind in his path!
@@vortex162 People would not look up to people like that for no reason.
@@CedricSmith-un6vm Indeed, like minded scum looks up to the like minded scum!
It's amazing how the "law" lie under oath to fit their objective, yet penalize individuals when others do😂. What a lie..i mean law.😊
Mijn petje af voor de 'Opvoedkunde'. Alle theorieën kloppen.
The narrator's voice sounds to me like the voice of Anthony Hopkins.
IS NOT ANTHONY HOPKINS
lucky luciana was my auncle...very soft spoken man..
... I understand your shame being associated with such a terrible human being.
You lied, proved it for us
Luciana was your auncle? That’s omasing.
Another Great British documentary.📚🇬🇧
My dad will tell me stories about Lucky cozy morely frank sinatra.
Imagine these guys living in todays society?? I would guess average day would be 3 to 7 body bags
Things would be better in America
Too many cameras nowadays.
@@AndreaAntinori-lb7hr no tent compounds 😂😂😂😂 just massive pools of red liquids and canvas 😂😂😂😂
Less crime now than there was then @@AndreaAntinori-lb7hr
Lucky design the commission of 5 klan most powerful gangs in the U.S.
Luciano was nearly the wealthiest mob. Like, how about say Capone.
Capone was big but Luciano was bigger and lasted longer
i just love that they state "reconstruction" as if people would think that cameras were really there
He's fucking badass awesome 🇮🇹
U testified?! Not good. Oops.
CHARLES ROSS
I have studie all about Charles and his father Lucky. I am the world's most foremost most expert.
I don’t think so I am !
30-50 years for prostitution, what bullshit kind of sentence was that! They should have just appreciated how great Lucky Luciano was and let him go. I was so sad when they deported him back to Italy, and absolutely devastated when he died so young! I still miss him. Thank you 💛 for making this documentary about his life 🙏 ❤ 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙
Prohibition wasn't about the temperance movement. That was Henry Ford and JP Morgan barring ethanol. Petroleum is heavy sludge its only after a great deal of processing that you get gasoline.
A half acre of reed, hemp, and such grass you can make enough ethanol for a average family car to last a year.
Petroleum is used in plastic, medicine.
If the average family starting growing thier own fuel, including burning it to make electricity then his monopoly of Standard oil would be in jeopardy.
Same with outlawing hemp.
Marijuana was the excuse.
Pharmaceuticals, ethanol, plastics.
In a way,he was saving lives.
That were Millionaires turned Billionaires tha Never Pull the Trigger or Setoff the Detonators Their Slackies did / do☝🏾💯
And not one mention of his blind brother with one leg who had to ride ten miles to school on a bike with no brakes and buckled wheel's 😮
About the cojoncos in Philippines killing hundreds to steal their farm land that hasn't been returned
On 10.18 the door on the right side is where Roy demeo and his crew invited people and kill them. And some more sinister things.
The government leaves the same in there wake also.
Dude was smart.
Where's the loot
What Happened to the Money 💰 💵 💴
wheres scare face in all of this ???
Why does Mr. Raab refuse to pronounce Luciano"s name correctly, does he think that he is disrespecting him, he has been dead since 1962. All Mr. Raab is doing is making himself look petty.
Who re-named Charles Luciano with the nickname "Lucky" instead of only a different kind of name written on a stone? Was it someone from Britain or someone else from his own family instead?
He got the name lucky because he survived a beating that left the scar on his face. So he got the name lucky
Always Italians
He was called "lucky" because he found a billion dollars in a crack in the sidewalk, and someone said "you're lucky", and the name "lucky Luciano" stuck. Not many people know that.
That’s a lie he was stabbed in the face and survived it smh that’s were he got that scar y did u just make that up
@@caseymckenzie3951 No, he really found a billion dollars in a crack in the sidewalk. Honest he did. I was a really, really big crack in the sidewalk in the middle of time square during the great depression. It was extra lucky because people didn't have a lot of money at that time, and a crack big enough to fit a billion dollars in would be a very, very big crack, so lucky nobody else found it before lucky did. It was the day before he got stabbed, so I can see why people still get confused and believe that's why he was called lucky. I would say finding a billion dollars was a smidgen more lucky than getting stabbed in the face.
@@caseymckenzie3951nope he grew up in a immigrant neighborhood section of New York and they couldn't speak English and couldn't pronounce his last name "Luciano" they'd pronounce it wrong "Looky-ano" then they started calling him "Looky" then everyone just started calling him Lucky
J Edgar?
They missed the part why he gets called lucky
It's a legend we'll never know for sure. He grew up in a immigrant neighborhood in New York so people who didn't speak English couldn't pronounce his last name Luciano correct they'd pronounce it wrong and say "Looky-ano " so they started calling him Looky then they left it at Lucky
Because people kept thier mouth shut. Now RICO laws. One thing to have millions squirrelled away and serving five years with certain creature comforts, coming out finding what you left and picking up where you left off.
Fifty to one hundred years stripped of all assets. Houses, cars, kids college funds everything.
I know he was a gangster but I love lucky Luciano.
The only admirable thing about Lucky was his skill for organizing nothing else!
He was like bill gates or warren buffet
For a billionaire he lived out his life in a simple small house in Italy
Meter lansky had more money
@caseymckenzie3951 Well, he was the accountant for the COMPLETE American businesses profile 😂😂😂
When the Mafia had control, in the 50s and 60s there was food, money, housing, jobs and a little better life for black people that was very poorly neighborhoods and so less crime in black neighborhoods.
Robot 🤖
Great piece. I'm on half way but although Charlie had to (politically) leave US, he died from natural causes in Italy when he was only 62... Running to catch a plane. However what ever they did, once US government saw how much "free" money flies around they built the biggest Army in the World and now they own it... Besides Charlie and meanest Jew M. Lansky who knew how to behave think while most other Italian mobsters (not all) were just bag man. Hahahaha, FBI had nothing or very little about Charlie. However they knew what brand of hair gel Dr. Martin Luther King used. And how to kill him. Plus he was a drag queen. So funny to watch these old shows knowing if Republicans get their way, we will watch only this version again. that is a reason they burn the books, mostly history books.
You can't be serious. DEMOCRAT'S, *every 4 years like clockwork* they roll out this "white supremacy is the biggest threat to America" nonsense. Then they go into black neighborhood churches and spew that garbage and we black folks have bought into that crap for *60* years. We don't exist for those 3 years in between. That does nothing but divide the country I gave 18 years of my life to. I'm heart broken having comrades who died so people can come on CZcams and make unfounded comments about republicans burning books and rewriting history. Name a book you can't buy on Amazon and have in your hands within 24 hours. *Exactly.*
My apologies... my memory obviously does not serve me so well. He dies in 62 at the age of 65. As someone who always loved history as an amateur, who is a bigger criminal. Charlie Lucky Luciano killing mostly other mobsters the do not behave ... or the person who decided it is quite ok for US Army to kill around (funny if it weren't sad) between 2-4 million Vietnamese but they keep mentioning 58.000 and change US Soldiers, brave and fighting for American freedom just missed few thousand miles from home. How Many ppl have they killed during 20 years in Afghanistan and Iraq and then just left them to kill each other. They left Ukraine now regardless of today's vote for $63B that will arrive who knows when and how many Ukrainian soldiers had to die while they drank mojitos. or how many Palestinians die every day. Or when they destroyed entire elected regimes in Latin and South America and put some hard right winger Nazi generals who had the same thinking as Ronald Reagan. Oh, don't worry. Democrats are the same because if they had no MONEY from all the lobbyists they would change that loooong time ago. And these young politicians have mouth to scold people who want at minimum for their kids better life in US. It is their fault they are so extremely poor. Also just to be frank, I don't know what would be the best solution... but I remembered something Israeli general said at the beginning of the wa...genocide. Journalist asks him how could they drop the bomb on a refugee camp - and he says " well after FIRST DAY EVER OF WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE`if there is somewhere mixed with civilians Hamas high ranking member (I think any but just my opinion) we can drop the bomb without regard of the number of civilians, women and/or children. we must defend ourself"....now Journalist ask another question - "if you find the General of Hamas hidden somewhere in Israeli hospital incognito and you must kill him because it would be very hard to find him later.. would you drop the bomb on hospital in Israel and killed ...any ... number of civilians?? - General said - "no, never"
@@docmalitt Perhaps those bodies they keep finding under the rubble of hospitals that they have bombed aren't real.
The bad guys. Win again
But at the end, where was his money?
People that makes themselves kings. People who kill to get to the top all just for money and wealth. I never heard of a gangster who turned 90 years old. They all die fast, they all die young. Here old "Lucky" didn't even saw 80. And all of his money?? Couldn't stop him for getting a heart attack... Shame.. 😂😂😂
Joey Lombardo died in prison at 90, John DiFronzo was halfway to 90 when he died, and many of the Chicago Outfit lived to their mid late 80's, Joey Aiuppa was 89.
You sound like a ten year old! And how many non-criminals do you know who get to be 90 anyway? Not many, I'm sure, and the ones who do live like a vegetable after 80.
Ps. Your English is HORRIBLE... Shame... 🤣🤣🤣
When they say lucky I think it's bad luck
Not richer than Pablo Escobar and many others. Luciano died in relative poverty & obscurity in Italy.
Theres a lot learned from these edited mobsters and gangaters stories..many of these top glamourater business still going on in todays world.
I thought he had some money problems once he was in Italy. Like the Genovese family were sending over smaller and smaller amounts of money. Pissing Lucky off. I know he got pissed at Joe Adonis when he was deported( or was going to be) for not giving him money because Adonis was really wealthy. I think they stopped talking.
Relative money problems. He was still probably rich compared to the average man.
Richest? I don't think so. Even adjusted for inflation, Pablo Escobar's countless billions could buy and sell Luciano hundreds of times over.
Pablo was a drug lord not really a monster he was more of a terrorist
He wasn’t really a mobster I meant
That's who automatically popped into my head.
Sir when Luciano died in his 60s ur Pablo was in his Diapers. And also there is a difference between a mobster and a terrorist drug animal. Pablo is gone Mafia still exists not only in Italy or USA also Australia Canada
True, Luciano was struggling to pay his rent in Italy when he passed.
If you want to read about the real Mafia. Get five families.
America entered WWII in 1941 NOT 1942.. Check your history
Well I guess Oragnized Crime syndicates are pursued , because Oligarchs wanted full control of Illegal drugtrade or anykind of illegal and profitable industry. you can say they were given a deal they cannot refuse.
