ok even better question... who would you say was a more sucessful don, Tony Accardo or Carlo Gambino? Now seeing as how Tony had control of 1 family and didnt have to compete with 4 other families kinda makes you respect Don Carlo a bit more because he held much power and did it over 4 other Dons at the time. But all in all I'd say Accardo was more sucessful. A member of another message boards view is somewhat similar to mine, but its a pretty close call. Turnbull what are your thoughts?

"He was their since Capone, ran Chicago with an iron fist, hear about the burglars that broke into his house, never spent a night in jail, had political connections galore. Always knew when to step back and let someone else run the show whilst he was still the power, lived in luxury too and still didnt get no jail time, just excellent mob skills, and having a guy like Ricca as your closest pal helped him. Gambino was an excellent boss but he didnt live in any kind of luxury thats why i give it to Accardo, no point in having wealth if you cant show it, Gambinos number plate doesnt outweigh a big ass mansion with bowling ally.
