Mrs. Mandelbaum and New York Organized Crime
Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history with his unique perception of the mafia. Margalit Fox joins the Gangland Wire podcast to discuss her book, "The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum," which delves into the story of the early fence Mrs. Mandelbaum. Mrs. Mandelbaum operated a successful New York City criminal empire focusing on stolen luxury goods and bank robbery for 25 years, evading jail time. Margalit explores how Mrs. Mandelbaum treated property crime as a business, offering discounts on luxury goods to cater to the middle class. The interview highlights Mrs. Mandelbaum's organizational skills, elaborate front shop for her operations and involvement in major bank robberies. The discussion showcases Mrs. Mandelbaum's strategic planning, financial investments, and the blurred lines between legitimate business and criminal enterprises at her dinner parties. The interview provides fascinating insights into Mrs. Mandelbaum's pioneering role in early organized crime, shedding light on forgotten aspects of women's history and criminal entrepreneurship in the 19th century.

When Bill went to the meeting they tried to kill him, he was very lucky to have escaped unharmed, " A Man of Honor " by Joe Bonanno is a good book, he tells the history of his life in the Mafia, what's crazy is that Rudy Giuliani used this book to start The Commission Trial . Joe retired to Arizona and lived to an old age, very crafty man
Omerta...comes from Sicilian word man, omu. It is more than can be translated. It means that, let's say my enemy hurts me. I will not say anything, but it is my duty to enact a vendetta. or in other words, if you kill me, good for you. If you only hurt me, woe unto you.
Sal seems full of BS. Every story every gangster he knows is a big name.🤔 He was just a low level drug dealer thats been living off other peoples stories since 1982😂🤡
The man was a real man
Gary, can you tell me who Sunny Frenchies lawyers were?
I do not know.
Who? 🤣🤡
KC Mafia was huge. Confusing how it's not talked about much.
KC Mafia. Not sure why no one discusses it. Michael Franzese, for example, has never talked about KC to my knowledge. They were a BIG outfit, instrumental in Vegas but rarely recognized for some bizarre reason.
We get no respect here in KC. I know a KC mob guy that complained about how he was treated by NY mob guys he was in the joint with.

Chads a good man. My friend said he was the "boodie bandit" inside the federal prison. Idk what that is, maybe its like a gang caller, lead guy or something.
Self preservation and self improvement, by utilizing what the surrounding enviornment or circumstances make available to you, is the psychological default mode for all human beings, it doesnt matter wether the actions one takes actually achieves these results, only that one believes they will. That is why standing tall when these inherent motivations are challenged, is near impossible for most people, because they are genetically predisposed to put there well being above any others individual or group of individuals well being. So I completely understand the motivations of a rat, and except the fact that they are the baseline and not the outlier. So its hard for me to hate a person for doing what it is in his nature to do, but I have little to no respect for a person who betrays himself. That is not a hollow observation, twice in my life, I was staring down the barrel of lengthy sentences, on the last occasion my children were 6 & 8 years old, and I was looking at the possibility of not seeing either one of their high school, and possibly, college graduations. I knew in my heart and soul that flipping was the right thing to do, but because I had the fortune, or misfortune, for which a strong argument can be made for both, of growing up around some of the last true old school LCN, that had instilled in me so many life lessons, such as increasing the suffering of others doesn't decrease your suffering , and it left me hating myself for that decision, even more than I believe I would have hated myself if I had ratted, then I found myself starting to hate these men who I had looked upto for so long. But I couldn't transfer my self hate to them, because I had witnessed time and time again what they had taught me about life and human nature to be so completely on point, that I had to place the blame for the circumstances at that time back on myself, where it belonged. The craziest thing is they were right, turns out that me not flipping and fighting my case was the best decision I ever made, I quickly realized that most of the people involved in the criminal justice system are just as dirty and underhanded as all the criminals, degenerates, and other undesirables I had interacted with throughout my life, with one huge difference, that being, that the moral high ground they were perched on invibed them with such arrogance, that they saw no need to focus on details because in the bigger picture, the pendulum always swung their way. With this knowledge not only did I beat my case down to serving 27 months, of which about 20 months was in and out of state and federal court, while I was in the law librabrary and being housed with newly arrested individuals for the most part, I saw case after case, where someone ratted out numerous individuals to recieve no or little time, and then not long after one of the individuals they snitched on turn around and give up ingormation on the the rat, that the rat didn't disclose when he flipped end up getting just as much time as everyone he had ratted on in the first place. Sorry for going into this diatribe, my original intention was to simply state, that in my life I have experienced many group dynamics, be it family, club, organization, or just strangers interacting, and I can honestly say that mobsters in a relaxed atmosphere are the most jovial bunch you of jokesters you will ever encounter, probably because they need to counter balance the extreme levels of stress with extreme levels of laughter.
@@timothylamattina3697 Thank you for a rational and reasonable look at life in the world of crime. What you said about the sense of humor coming out of living that stressful life is the same with cops. I have a friend now that served a lot of time and might be described as an associate before he went in. He and I laugh about the same things.
Everyone except the Aryan brotherhood, they shook him down.
🐀🐀. Rat times two 🤌🤌🤌
Without these guys, we wouldn't have all this fun with the authentic details and inside knowledge about the mob.
This was great Gary. Thanks!
@@schweber10 thank you
What i heard he paid for protection from tge aryan brotherhood
*The
I haven’t seen anyone say anything about Roscoe White. Roscoe White was at Atsugi air base when Oswald served there. It’s pretty much common knowledge that Oswald was a CIA asset. Same goes for White. Two months before the assassination White went to work for the Dallas Police department. His wife went to work for Jack Ruby. Years after the assassination Roscoe White boy Ricky found a footlocker that contained a diary of Whites involvement in the assassination. He claimed to be the grassy knoll shooter in the diary. Ricky said nothing for several years about the diary. He at some point decided to call the FBI. Two agents came to where he was living and he showed them the diary. They gave the diary back to Ricky and then they left. The FBI called back later and said they left something there and needed to come back to get it. Ricky’s wife answered the phone when they called back. Ricky wasn’t there. When the FBI came back the went to the footlocker and stole the diary and it was never to be seen again. This was according to Ricky in his book Admitted Assassin. I’ve watched the interview of James Files while he was in prison. His story sounds convincing. I have listened to others in interviews say they don’t believe Files story. So who knows. Maybe some day we will know.
Very cool history Thanks
Fantastic video Gary have a great day and go golfing 🏌️♀️
Brilliant advertise more you'll get more likes n subscription
@@Bluesmusicno1 you mean like advertise on you tube? I have a decent Facebook presence and getting into tic tok.
Love your work Gary!
Just a thought Mr Jenkins. As this video was ending the thumbnails for other videos began to populate my screen and I saw few photos of Anthony Ruggiano and his father. I also recently watched Soft White Underbelly interview with Chicago mobster Frank Calabrese's other son, Kurt Calabrese. The difference in the two fathers and the impact on their son's lives is fascinating. Mr. Ruggiano still reveres his father. Mr. Calabrese needs to see Mr. Ruggiano. Kurt visibly shakes reliving his story. Mob Fathers and Mob Sons. Love your style and delivery. Would love to see you talk to Kurt Calabrese.
I said so.
What is equivalent to the mafia underboss for the BMF, is JBO. JBo is from St. Louis and was recently indicted on federal drug charges along with others. How come, you didn’t mention him?
@@Tylermobfamilyhistory well I did not know about any of that.
Another Terrific Episode Gary!!!! 😎👊💯💥
@@joeyfrakes8523 thank you
Have any of you heard of Earl Files?Worked for Charles Nicoletti, 1960-70
In the author's own words she could not have succeeded without men. I bet even the lowest male pickpocket wasn't scared of nor intimidated by her at all. I doubt we are getting the whole story.
I agree
I think of Junior Bradley

They wouldve never found out bout guy in gottis trial.his people didnt know that guy on jury,they were approached by that guy from yugoslav revolutionary,he went to gravano and told him he could arrange something. Sammy paid 65 k,and promised a high level union job.when sammy flipped ,he got that guy locked up
I just found this story Gary, very good 👍
@@donolbers thank you
Shee tells to many stories
The london gangsters would want a huge cut.the craziest break in is the guys who hit lyods of london,renting building next door,drilling under the vault,had a guy on outside on lookout,a amateur radio guy picked up walkie talkies they were using,so cops went to all the banks, it was on weekend,since the vault was locked,no signs of breakin they left,guys cleared out vault.scotland yard gets guy who rented building next door,but he dont ltell
Henry Marzette from Detroit. Not as well known ,was an ex cop ,who while a cop won awards for drug busts he made,but he was robbing dealers ,eventually he just turns to dealer.

I caddied for Jerry Catena in the 1960s at the Boonton, NJ country Club. He was a delightful gentleman (to a 14 year old boy).
Thanks for your story a good one.
Vinny gorgeous i feel bad for.. the way that Joey M did him in jail.... still the best mob nickname in my opinion (Vinny Gorgeous). Whats ur fav mob nickname gary ? Wld love to hear it. Thanks pal love from new jersey
@@josephmalecki probable Tony Accardo’s Joe Batters because he got it from Capone and it can be evocative of his rise to power. Hey, “evocative” that’s a cool word we not use much in this podcast.
Now drop them pants😂😂😂
Jail is a bum environment
Great video Gary have a good day and weekend.
