I know that Jeff Nadu isn't very popular in this genre, but he made a great point in a video regarding this big mouth, lying blowhard. John Alite might be a big time bullshitter, embellishing nearly all, if not all of his stories, in many cases outright lying. But he wasn't a nobody in that life. Surveillance photos and pics of him with the Gotti family prove as much. You don’t run in those circles and not have street cred. And him being Albanian is irrelevant. Don't even get me started on the many, non-Italian hoodlums who were just as respected as many made men. The underworld is too complicated and nothing is as it seems.
