@tiluriso When listing the HITW gang personnel @ 5:40, he forgot to mention Sal Romano, who had been caught on a dope charge right before and had become a police informant and was the rat who ratted out the heist to the Feds.
Frank Rosenthal was never a member of the Hole In The Wall gang. By the time this gang had done their deeds, Lefty wanted nothing to do with Spilotro.
@ProjektPete absolutly, have done it many times; when you grow up as their peers; you can talk to them a bit different then you might. they would not do anything to me; im from the neighborhood; as a matter of fact they may get a fucking slap if they mouth off to me. Im not scard of pieces of dogshit like this. Im a man, not a sneak who shoots people when they are not looking in the dark; when they have kids. that takes no balls at all. Hollywood should glorify something else.
Whether or not, you feel Cullotta is a valuable person is irrelevant. His claim to fame, is being a gangster, And Frank, was as G as any of them. All the haters, can go fuck themselves. Nigga ain't in jail, and is going to die peacefully in his own home. He wins.

@d0zs Gotti made his son who was half jewish, since then the laws been changed where only your "father" had to be 100% italian which makes sense, in this day in age good luck finding anyone 100% anything.
@srg200669 That doesn't mean shit to the consulates back in homeland. You're a made man to your father and whoever respects him, and that's it. Neither the Camorra nor 'Ndrangheta accept mutts, and you can expect Costa Nostra does the same. American families however make their own rules, but on a much smaller scale.
Ex-capo Micheal Franzese whose Dad is acting Columbo Underboss , says no not anymore ! Only Half-Italian now . There aren't enough pure Italian Amercians anymore ..
@jaytomy93 Frank Cullotta turned state's witness and received immunity for his testimony. A small price to pay to get the bigger fish, though try telling that to the families of the guys Frankie whacked out.
Thats what i said motha fucker, and im talking Cullota, you stupid son of a bitch. What fucking point are you trying to prove with that comment? And you can be made if you re not 100 percent italian. Just your old man has to be legit. John Gotti's kids are maded, and their mom is russian. So go back and watch your fucking mob movies, you fucking jet inbreed motha fucker.
Lol most youtubers are idiots, the movies and reality are two completely diff things, what they dont realize is once copyrights are signed over hollywood is pretty much free to twist the story anyway they want into their own version, which theyve done with movies like Casino and Goodfellas and many others..
Frank was a federal witness! we all know that ...we all have our different understanding of dat.....I say no good.. I say beefin is for the weak...but on the other hand he probly was a fairly stand up guy.......He died a slow death every da he worried about bumping heads wit some guy from chicago in the hotel lobby or at a restaurant..on a plane...he died of natural miserableness from beefin!!!!!rip frank
They found 2 million in his waterbed in Vegas after 4 swings at his nuggets while hanging from a rope at the hunting lodge. They buried them alive after beat again for 2 hours straight at the dug hole. He extorted the skim behind Aiuppa & Accardo's back.
bodhitaichi can you tell me what part exactly in the film Cullota re-enacted a murder he really did? because at the end of Casino Joe Pesci and his brother are the ones who get murdered. So it cant be the end of Casino because Cullota wasnt involved in the murder of Spilotro and his brother.
"Casino" takes a few liberties about the Spilotro brothers' ugly end. In the film, the Spilotros are murdered in an Indiana cornfield by Cullotta and the Hole In The Wall Gang. In real life, they were wacked by enforcers led by capo Albert Tocco; the Hole In the Wall Gang wasn't involved. And while the Spilotros were later buried in the cornfield, the beatings actually took place in a mobster's Ill. hunting lodge. Nick Calabrese spilled the beans about this in the Family Secrets trial in 2007.
I hate this motherfucker! In Casino, he had a part as a hit-man and cinematically kills the man he actually killed in real life. That's some straight up bullshit. Guy should be in a hole.
@bodhitaichi The guy he kills in the movie, John Nance, is based on two real life people, George Vandermark and Carl Thomas. Neither of these men's fate were rendered by Frank Cullotta. The circumstances of the murder, running around and shooting multiple times before the victim died, are taken from the real life murder of a man named Jerry Lisner. Cullotta whacked out Lisner because it was feared he would turn witness. Lisner had nothing to do with the skim.
@bramblebrook Yes there is, but it ain't what it used to be. People have gotten old, put in prison or both. But it is still around and still has its hands in many things. It just ain't the powerful organization it used to be.
all these comments make me sick, none of you know what the fuck you are talking about. Stop writing on the internet that my uncle this and my grampa that. It is not cool to be a ganster. If you ever really met any of these people you would know what im talking about. These people are scumbags who take advantage of peoples problems. gambling, drugs, debt. Horrible rotten people, who are cowards and rat each other and only care about them selves.
You're right@bridgeportchicago, I've only met one that i know of, most on here are mezmorized by the way hollywood portrays their lifestyle, but in real life if you ever meet one theyre total arrogant scumbags, especially towards everyday people, guess cause they figure they can be. Definately nothing to glamorize.
@man1192803 I agree. I dont like either one. I have family members that have been indicted by the G. They should be spending their time on bin laden instead of chasing around 80 year old guys because they have a poker machine in their bar. But because the gov is a bunch of scumbags does not mean anything. I have grew up around this my whole life and the outfit is a bunch of lowlifes; they have no honer and pride, loyalty. It is all phony bolony nonsense; they all tell on each other.
@bridgeportchicago "Horrible rotten people, who are cowards and rat each other and only care about them selves." So they're just humans, everyone is like that.
He can't say all bullshit, of course in every rat story there's some things that are let's say, embellished, but there's also some facts, feds documents, arrestations, etc.
It can be all lies. By the way, I read the book, and I really enjoyed it, even if some of it was bullshit...
Dont say that, the mob is a bunch of scumbags who pray on other people's weakness. Gambling, drugs, extortion; believe me, if you ever really met these people you would know what I mean, they have a disgusting presence, most have 0 education and only care about them selves. They all rat on each other right away and they are so full of shit. Whats tough about sneaking up behind some unarmed guy in his driveway and shooting him with his back turned to you.
Anybody seen Sahara Avenue and what looms North & South of it between I-15 & Maryland Parkway? It is a ghetto. These characters get a good run then get busted or blown away.
peolpe think that this shit is only in the movies. if you live in chi like me you will run into these types every now and then. especially in elmwood park and melrose park. i personally have met friends of theirs. made men are pretty elusive, but youll meet people who work for the outfit if u spend enough time in chicago or new york/nj.
its in the movie credits if you look,the director couldnt get the actor to get it just right,so Frank stepped in and showed them the way he would do it
WTF do you know faggot Canadian? I thought only kiddies don't use periods? Go fuck your mom and make sure you reply twice to every comment. BTW nice quote from Platoon. Make sure you get outside "PCRAT" fucking hypocrite internet warrior.
I've read "CULLOTTA" and it is certainly a must read if you are interested in the Las Vegas Mob and Chicago's The Outfit.
I agree that it's neat to see Frank being interviewed. He looked and sounded just like I imagined, so Dennis created an excellent portrait of Frank in his book.
I've both read Denny's books and taken Mob Tour. I would highly recommend reading the books then heading off on the tour. It's a fascinating story and can't wait to see the Cullotta DVD now. Excellent vid!
I've taken the Mob Tour in Las Vegas. It was fascinating to see the places and hear all the stories of old Las Vegas. Thanks for the video! It is weird to see a mobster being interviewed. I thought they were all dead.
