I've enjoyed the mob museum's speakers before but I am getting burned out of seeing a bunch of old street thugs being paid to talk about the things most should still be in jail for. This guy is still a lowlife. I've seen what happened in Gotti Jr's case and without that, this guy is still behind bars.
Regardless of who agrees or disagrees anytime you try to educate kids and attempt to lead them in the right way of life is an excellent Pursuit keep it up John God has your back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen brother! Very well said.
Its a hustle,this guy is the lowest of lows
He dont care about the kids. All he talks about is "Did I baseball bat this guy, yes I did. Did I stab this guy, shoot that guy? Yes I did. He mentions helping the kids once in a while, but for the most part he glorifies and talks shit about whoever doesnt wanna come on his show.
@@westonpeabody8010 and he lies and accentuates the stuff he did, he did not know about the paul c. Hit, ..the way he talks he should be wearing a yankees uniform on the street, he smashes everybody and anything w a bat
Hahahaha, he didn't care about his own children, think he cares about other. This selfless nonsense is so common with scammers. He's a martyr who doesn't profit blah blah blaj
I have been watching a lot of these mafia guys youtube videos but John is my favorite bc he is such a nice and honest guy.
His known as a bullshit artist 😂
@@yasak8383 says who YASAK comp killer, you? What do u know about john. Fill me in what he is bullshitting about and ill correct you.
gotti jnr was slagging alite out so alite does things like this giving his story.. but gotti jnr is nowhere to be seen, wonder why?
gotti snr was a disaster being boss of the gambino,s and gotti jnr had no buisness being boss cause lets be fair he just didnt have the head or the brains for it..
worst thing to ever happen to the gambino crime family,, the gotti,s....!!!
NO, THE WORST THING IS THAT CHIN DIDN'T BLOW UP GOTTI SR'S ASS INSTEAD OF DeCiccio. THEN MAYBE THE BREAKDOWN OF RESPECT WOULD HAVE PERSEVERED BECAUSE BOSSES SHOULD NEVER GET WACKED AND DRUG SELLING WOULDN'T BE SO TEMPTING.
You guys sound like fools.
Mr Alite is 100% spot on with his incredible memory of the nefarious actions of the New York mafia.
@@dugin4321 embarrassing aye. I feel shame reading it
@michael hutch you expect law enforcement to say summit nice about him do you?
ive not been involved shall we say for 20yrs and they still lie and say shit about me!
You don’t choose your cell mate. Your assigned to a cell and a block! Stop saying that you made the choice to have a gotti as your cell mate. That’s a lie and anyone who has done time in d.o.c knows that. You aren’t fooling legit guys.
John can you tell us about the time you robbed gas pipe caso and piteria in the one night? Stole 300k then blew it all on the track? So you had to be involved in the Lufthansa heist as the lead robber to make some money
Buy a bat, the info is in the scroll hidden in the bat
John did you have Mr dieguas as your baseball coach when you went to Franklin k lane? I graduated in 1993
I hate all you mafia fanboys with your ridiculous opinions. The fact that this man tries to sway impressionable young men from turning to the street life is commendable and respectable.
At the end of the day family and friends is all that matters, not some organization or company.
Legend....helping others...you helped me bro.. let go of violence and crime activity in australia.thankyou.😊
I'm Aussie too mate, where you from. John Alite good aye
Thank you Mr Alite for sharing your life. Thank you for giving Mr Gravano some spotlight.
Excellent talk John
You must have watched a different video than me.
Sorry it's only talking.
Queens NYC breeds great men. John is an example, you can tell that he is sincere, he doesn't want kids to grow up an experience the pain he's dealt with. I salute you Mr. Alite. Keep doing your thing big brother!!
You have this runt on??
Guys like John Alite, Sammy Gravano, Michael Franzese, Frank Cullotta, etc. are all damn good story tellers. Each one of them and others like them aren't only sharing stories of their past lives, ultimately they're sharing moments in "modern" American History and a way of life that no longer exists. At times they tell the same story and each one has their own version but the reality is that unless you yourself were there to witness the event, you'll never know the exact and real story. Regardless, their stories stimulate our imagionations, putting us there on the scene as if we were watching it on a movie. LCN will likely never again be what it once was which is why the stories they tell really do need to be heard. THANK YOU, MOB MUSEUM for providing a medium for guys like John Alite, and the many others like him, to share their stories with us!! Keep em coming :-)
Alite is a fraud & liar
They are all so all. RATS 🐀 🐀 🐀
A big part of the Big Paul hit was because of Gotti’s crew and their dealings w drugs!
Definitely legit I mean yall saw the pictures he knows all the dates and other interviews even gives names and is verified by Sammy but now they both got older and are trying to sway the youth in a better direction! Good job gentlemen
Yes, he was legit for ah period but he is ah big exaggerater
Sammy just admitted alite is a liar and nothing he says is true. Exposed
Literally a video uploaded few days ago saying the opposite
@@aw8632 and everything Sammy says is true.
He is full of it
The End
BRILLIANT STUFF JOHN...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Yeah, keep telling half truths 😂😂😂Good job
A Great Mission... Educating impressionable kids about the realities of the life..
while grabbing the money.Lets not forget that.
All the little guys will learn it’s ok to pipe a bunch of guys and you’ll still come out ok
Such a modest, self deprecating individual......... 😐
In John's defence, Sammy also says Gotti Jr. is a complete fraud.
What maybe most people do not understand is whatever someone grows up INTO is their normal. Those values become their normal. What their family was becomes part of a person's normal. I never had a life as violent as This but .... because of my life, my family, friends I grew up with my normal is not your normal. I can only wish it was. If you would like my normal, I would gladly give it to you.
I can tell this man is 100% honest about his past.
Because of my parents I was a very angry person, and that was not my only problem. Who do you think I would be comfortable with, who
's company? Who would want my company? A bunch of Boy Scouts?? My friends all seemed normal to me. To you? Maybe not. Our life experiences may have been very different, but certainly normal to me. Some were con artists, Robbers of Many types, drug addicts, drug dealers, but to be honest I seldom look back and see any of them worse than legal businesses, like the legal drug companies who lied about oxytocin being addictive and Our government who really let them get away with it, no jail time and after paying fines still made 5 billion dollars, they are much worse than organized crime.
Mr Alite, is definitely a likeable guy, well spoken, hard to imagine he did everything he says he did. But I have no reason
To doubt him.He s sure entertaining to listen to..He should play the Godfather in a movie, he d be good.
Yes . He is the epitome of a New York gangster .
John was never in the mob.
I use to rock with Alite. Since he came for the Bull not so much since. Still don’t think he’s lying about nothing.
With your insider info and having spent alot of time with Frankie, you would be the perfect person to write the book on the Old Man. His story needs to be told. They made that movie Kill The Irishman about Danny Greene from Cleveland. He was a Legend but so was Jimmy Burke. Matt
Awesome speach. GOD BLESS YOU.
Seeems to blame allot on other people 🤷🏾♂️ blames gotti blames his baby mum how about you blame yourself
SALUTE JOHN!!
Man these mob guys sing like birds
Big Joey Massino who was the boss of the Bononno Family flipped. When the bosses flip to save themselves you know the Life as it was is over.
Soon 3rd world countries, will dominate the American underworld
This guy was never in the mob mate!He,s full of sh...t!
Honest caring and showing how much the crime world can destroy your life. Keep up passing on the wright path in life. Great job John
Stop lying
That's blasphemous, bro! The Gotti Crime Family?!! It's the GAMBINO CRIME FAMILY!! Like him or not, respect Don Carlo for the thing that he built to towering heights, at the very least.
MAYBE, JOHN SHOULD GET PAID FOR SPEAKING & USE THE MONEY FOR HELPING YOUNGER PEOPLE, TO GET OUT OF THE LIFE....I DON‘T KNOW, JUST A THOUGHT JOHN....I SUPPORT WHAT YOU & GENE ARE DOING TOO....
Why would he use it to help people get out of the life when he can use it to buy his clothes.
John Alite does have a donation page his CZcams page. Open your eyes.
John, your next book should be on Jimmy The Gent Burke and his son Frankie. This
Brilliant and feared Irishman deserves to have his amazing story told! I'd buy it. Matt
As a young guy I worked in clubs where these guys hung out, and it's nice to see that they're teaching the right word today
Why are you not on ANY video or audio recordings or in any surveillance pictures at the ravenite or any other mob hang out? Or any pictures of you with “other” mafia members besides the select few of you and John Jr just hanging out? Not one picture of you with John Gotti Sr? How come we see pics and videos of all the other “known” mafia members especially the ones close with and working directly for Sr but you are not in any? Just because you and he were in each others weddings does not mean you were their hitman...so regular friends and family cant be in or at a wedding? Have you provided ANY documentation besides your word that he “gave you up” because he may have cooperated does not mean he cooperated against you. You say jr never killed with his own hands but then say theres still an open case from a kid jr killed. You always point Out that “I did it by myself” its convenient cause theres no one to say thats not true. some of what you say sounds believable but most sounds exaggerated and unbelievable.
Ya he's a total B.S. artist . its comical.
@@donnalee1233 EVERY WORD IS TRUE
@Rodney Damon not one picture of him with anyone of importance and u got to remember these guys were under survielence 24/7..... Alite greatly exaggerates the power he had and the amount of money he was making and who he was involved with.
If you look in to it Many Mobsters know Alite Skippers from other Families Many, And lot's of made men say he was a very Dangerous Individual, guys in the mob would not say that if he was just a friend at a Wedding. He is the real deal. Look him up!! That's All !!
Glad you can see through him
"Our family" he was never in a mafia familyhe also never went through an induction ceremony!Everyone sat there has been conned!
John Alite and Mickaël franzese are both the most educated and good stories teller.
Smart both are
Imo. The way John was talking about Sammy on those tapes. It’s kinda like he knew the place was bugged and was trying to throw it all on Sammy. I know he said some self incriminating things like the pauly hit. But it’s just weird he was saying all those blatant lies.
You guys should have Jimmy calandra on he is a hot topic
or sammy gravano
Jimmy does not think highly of John..
I know that we would come to the clean house 💥🏋️♂️
We get it. The Mob Museum doesn’t want to piss off Jr!
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Dude everything this guy said in this entire thing he has went back on after beefing with Sammy this is insane to hear
Used the name Gotti in the title as he's a nobody and nobody would have known who he was
Here’s the truth… Alite has more charisma than gotti had. All that matters to me.
@@thacryinggame surprised you had time to type that in-between kissing his ass 🤣
Blames everyone else but himself
Yup he's a clown
A Pathological lier ,
Biggest liar out there
It's in a museum because that life is nothing more than history.
Well done Johnny boy! From a low level soldier, never made, a violent pawn in other people's games, a rat- to being on stage telling your story. And still got the ego. Well played mate 👍
Never a soldier.
Quite
@@ram0666 +
He was never a soldier, they happen to be made men who have no rank like Capo Etc. Actually I'm from Howard beach Beach I grew up with John's son Peter and from what I always heard he was nothing but a lier and a Junkie.

I’m glad there was a lot of emphasis on John Gotti and his drug dealing and distribution because the movies make Gotti look like a victim when it comes to Big Paul coming down on the Gotti Crew for their involvement in drugs. It gives a deeper perspective on the Big Paul hit. Gotti was no victim. He wanted to live by his rules and take out anyone and anything in the way of that. Good stuff John Alite ✊🏾👌🏾💯
Wheres the paper work???u said u have paperwork on jr.lets see it??? Is it in your comic book??
I watch everything Mr. Alite is in and every interview he does.
lets just say I heard he may be releasing something new and exclusive very very soon...
Ive watched many myself
You love fairy tales,johns a dream weaver,fake and compulsive liar
As hard as we work not to glamorize this life of misery, when a grown man talks about “baseball batting” someone, an insecure teen boy is gonna gravitate towards it. Being tough or resilient is important, but kids - especially boys - have to be shown the right path. A mob museum where some guy who spent half his life in prison comes and talks about making fast money, getting girls and committing violence is a sure way to steer kids TOWARD bad decisions.
No mate that’s the whole point . He’s not glorifying it . He’s saying that’s the life he had and he’s telling the young kids that it’s the wrong way because of the hurt you cause loved ones .
Johns a good guy
@@RoyChadwick51 9/10 times young men will not process it that way.
What kinda bull shit is this , lol , John Aliar , first he said Woodside now it’s WoodHaven ..lol
It was the Gambino crime family, not the Gotti crime family.
Hey John really enjoyed your talk again , We are close to the same age. I did do the 9 to 5 (actually every shift possible ) and now I am a retired teamster from foremost dairy .I will say the temptation to grab the easy big money would have been different if I lived around that life style , my life was being around a bunch of dairy farmers with cow shit in the sole of there boots . Anyway enjoy your talks and hopefully will see some more . Keep it up the young kids need to hear the truth .
WATCH FARGO THEN...NETFLIX, HULU
Stop saying ”out family” it was never ”your” family you where never made
But he was big earner & did all the dirty work.....
@@AK-kj6ec no he wasnt . He got zero proof for that
@@AK-kj6ec lol u must be pretty gullable ...the guy is a b.s. artist
@@Herkulez1981 how the fuck do you know
He was a drug addict, not en earner..
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
The reason Mr Alight is so controversial is because he was the real deal it is behond imagination how tuff and dangerous this man was he looks like an angel but was deadly but do to his life change he is a great man the opposite of his former life and he took of the old clothing and exchanged it for a new garment a man who exchanged his old life to a new beginning...RocknRollFlat5
It’s controversial because he wants to do the right thing, but doesn’t understand or doesn’t acknowledge the truth that talking about doing murders and making big money will be attractive to young boys 100% of the time it’s brought up.
@@QEsposito510He knows. He wants to sound cool, and at the same time do this thing here.
Personally he’s alright with me.
I don't get this positive messages.I had friends who received life for armed robbery but admit to 8 murders hundreds of assault s home invasions drug smuggling and get 5 years and make a living bragging about it .
I remember following these guys in the late 90s on Gangster websites. I specifically remember John Gotti Junior being a complete dunce. I used to watch recordings of them and prison interviews which were public domain and Gotti Jnr was the son Gotti Snr wished would have been smarter.
For some context the website I used to go to had a midi music version of the godfather as you went on it. I was a teenager and was really inspired by goodfellas so I wanted to see if this was all real, so I found the website in question that used to be almost like a wiki. New info on the Gotti case, FBI pictures, and recordings the FBI submitted to the courts. I remember John Alite cropping up on that website as an associate and friend of Junior and I was intrigued and dismayed that they both used to dress in sports clothes and baseball caps. A far cry from the older generation. John Alite was definitely on that website and was profiled as a dangerous underground figure. When he started to do interviews on CZcams in 2017 It felt surreal as I recognised him but couldn't work out how, then I saw his old photos and recognised him straight away. I Remember on that website that Gotti Senior died with a huge regret that John Junior essentially shelved himself and asked for an OK from his dad. Knowing that no one in that life is allowed to leave. The website then explained that Junior was talking with the police by that point and trying to move away from the Gambino family as his life was at threat. Him asking his father for 'closure' broke omerta because he was no longer Cosa Nostra. I do not trust what Junior says, I trust Alite, somewhat Sammy, and especially Mikey Scars.
Nicely done
You also named the book Gotti Rules because it would sell more copies then calling It by your "No Name' name.
There would be some truth but you are no Gotti, sammy or any other made men
Did I baseball bat my mother? Yes I did.
-Johnny Alite
🤥💩
I almost feel guilty for immortalizing these guys, but they are so damned interesting. They are apart of our history.
Whos this nobody ? John who?
Nothing is sacred. La Cosa Nostra, omerta, blood oath...all a facade
What do these criminals have to offer!! They are still trying to make money with out working!! Tell these bums to get a real job!!
Queens NY, Bad Ass...Keep that left up, Johnny.
Alite was Jr's babysitter! On Sr's Orders!
No he was not. John alite is full of so much ish. He has taken a few facts and spun out a huge narrative. This was 3 years ago, today he is talking about how he was Gotti sr hotman, lol. How Sammy is a piece of ish, when a few years ago he was the greatest guy. These rats all have their own little club and they protect each others stories.
He talks here about the Ravenite tapes and how John was trying to put it all on Sammy. If you listen to him today the story has completely changed. Those tapes were about how Gotti was seeing what Sammy was doing and all the guys he was telling John to kill for whatever reason and then Sammy ended up with all their business. Remember John was in prison for a lot of the time he was boss so he was trusting Sammy on the street. He is finally seeing here that Sammy is betraying all of them for money, like he always does.
Alite is a piece of shit for how he talks about the Gottis, none of them ever ratted. That’s why he hates them so much, he’s a rat and always will be. That’s why they turn now towards “helping the kiddies” it’s all bs. It’s to make money.
Thank you! I will call the FBI and tell them there footage of Alite is all wrong! And it was a dream that Jr was his best man! Thank you! @@douglashyslop2209
So he was on the run hanging with other women, looking like he's enjoying his life while his wife and kids were home suffering? Seriously, just asking. Don't come for me
Man, John Alite does not like Gotti jr.
Well come on what do u really expect when get into the mob.. come on man
Good content.. your helping the youth, read the whole story before entering the life.. start with the ending first.. the ☠️,prison, torture, misery.. broken homes, ripped shredded families.. informants.. ultimate betrayal.. family and kids fuckked..
Really Good.. John A. 😊
John whats your height and Weight? And how far did u go with Boxing? Matt
I think John as saying some truth, especially with john gotti jnr, but sorry to say if Gotti snr was alive, he would have a different story.
Snr may have crossed pathes with him but no way would he even know his name
Back In The Summer Of 78 My Girlfriends Uncle was Found Unconscience With CHINESE BURNZ On His ARMS & LEGS All For $3 Dollas Butter Voucher & 2 Loosey Cigerettes, WHO DID IT HEINIOUS CRIME? Well If You Ask JOHNNY 💭"YES HE DID!"
Sammy the bull doesn't know him, that says a lot
I just heard a recording of Sammy when he first got out of the joint and he very clearly says old boys name like more than a few times .Idk what he says now . But this guy is the real deal all the pics in his books don't lie bud .
Every time he speaks he has to justify that the guys that don’t like him or admit all the things he did. Always justifying. Talk about why you think you have to justify.
Gotti jnr lives off his daddies name. Just like the whole family. Hypocrites and grubs. Why dont all the tough guys on here calling John Alite names say it to him face to face? Put that on you tube.
..before taxes 20 million... and def. not 10 million before taxes 40 million
Anthony Raimindi hasn't lied as much as Alite, aka failed his own children and will does everything for profit. Raimondi is entertaining at least
It’s no easy feat to stand in front of a crowd and speak , great job John , stick with the path your on my friend, your doing great
U talk real nice here but later on after u run out of words u start lying why
What's with the constant disclaimers. We all know Alite is telling the truth, somebody should tell them Bruce Cutler doesn't do liable...
Wtf is the mob museum....they better be kicking up to all fams😊
where is dana white? we need to get gotti junior and john alite in the cage.
John u killled a lot of people
Ive watched and enjoyed a lot of John's videos and I thought Gotti's Rules was an outstanding book. This is the first time I really saw the pain John carries from the life he lived. I don't know him and can't say if it's real but he does seem like someone who has difficulty with the choices he made no matter if he tries not to look in the rear view mirror.
Its not,
Fake. This guys a fraud. Stop being naive bro. Stop feeding into his BS.
@@calo11205 i hope everybody knows, if u listen to him for 2 min u can tell hes a liar and a mook, hes albanian, he was never a thought for the mob,they used him like a crash test dummy
So I get the accusations of embellishment and he was not credible on the witness stand. But then what about going on the lam for years. He must've known the government wanted him for something serious and also to live that way for so long he must've had a lot of money. Isn't it credible that he was sort of an independent street guy/ thug/ drug dealer like he describes himself?
@@cityshadeswoodworkin bro one charge in rico carries forever, he rode the mobs coattails, he threatened people w the mob, he def looks like a wierdo mob guy who isnt, if i put on a yankee uniform am i yankee
Is it necessary to put up the (these are not the Mob Museum's words, we don't take sides) caption every other minute🤣? I doubt the Gottis will come after you for what John says. I believe John Alite and Larry Mazza more than the other mobsters on CZcams, their stories are usually corroborated with names, dates or some other type of proof. John and Sammy are by far the best story tellers!
Great job
Soldier
Interesting
I understand his intentions on preventing kids from becoming criminals but to me the guy has no honor. Listen to Sammy Gravano , HE still has honor.
John Alite sure liked the cash flow but now he’s acting like he’s a victim.
He chose the life just like all the other guys in the mob.
The difference is he could never be made therefore he wasn’t eligible for the same protection .
Kudos to him trying to educate kids about the downside of being a criminal but he sounds like someone stole his sucker!
Mate all these clowns are just milking the situation,they’ve got a platform to speak on and make a couple of quids from,off to the races they go mate.
Gravano has honor!!?! in what possible, freaking way?!?! Gravano actually took the oath, was made, and he flipped! That is the absolute opposite of the definition of Cosa Nostra honor?
His excuse for cooperating was that John Gotti is on tape purposely making it sound like everything was Sammy’s fault. SO WHAT!!!!! In that life IT DOES NOT MATTER!!!!! In that life THERE IS NOTHING THAT EVER justifies cooperation with the government!
And by the way, after the tapes were common knowledge, Gravano spent a lot of time with John while they were locked up,
Knowing all that to be true, If Sammy Gravano is such a hard core gangster, tough, Cosa Nostra, street guy through and through (as Sammy claims to be) there one blazingly obvious next move for Sammy. He would made a point to take John out while they were in custody!! And he didn’t! What did he do instead? He flipped!
He was never in the Mafia ,he's not Italian...!!!!!
Alite is true man , ❤️
Bahahahahahah ok
Donna Lee I assume your the tough guy
@@Evan-memo no. I don't claim to be anything of that sort. Your clearly very gullable if u believe even half of what alite says
Donna Lee my friend it’s been proven he has videos of his wedding with gottis leaving John gotti house and mobsters talk about him there is tons of evidence you just didn’t do research my friend go do research he showed him in Brazil in jail where ever he was it’s proven by evidence not words I don’t speak by what I hear I’m the last person who believes anything and I’m super skeptic if I don’t make sure million % I don’t talk
Donna Lee so go do research people who aren’t true wouldnt be in John gotti house or the gottis wouldn’t be in his wedding if he was a nobody mobsters who killed before wouldn’t say he is real they have no business to lie also if he didn’t work with gotttis you tell me why was hi in their house weddings and his wedding ? Is he a lawyer ? Who is he if he isn’t a gangster who is he then prove it there is evidence of what I’m saying what’s your evidence that’s it’s a lie ? Gotti junior mentioning this guy all the time if he was nobody gottis wouldn’t be trying to discredit him that’s fact itself you have no facts of what you saying but there is tons of facts about him being real not only words by others but footage lol
Look, I’ve read all his books, they are great. I listen to the John and gene show, it’s great. But... this guy is clearly mad he couldn’t be made. I believe 100% if they told him to come back to the life, and they would bend the rules and “make him” he would do it. Sorry, just my opinion.
John sounds hung over and then he said they’re in Vegas oh yeah fasho fasho 😆
was Mr alite a made man
Shouldn't talk about egos
Involved in attack mode victom un super un natural on me as a baby like a rat organized unrecognized crime dewey was not strong enough and more and they get it in law enforcement teachers nurses familys and they lie to say it is a religious phenomenon. intimidation. bullies. $tories. Bet wishes 2023
