Frank Abbatemarco comes to mind because he had the Gallo’s and other guys…. He was whacked for not paying tribute and talking a lot of ****


There were a few others, but four specific capos immediately come to mind; Cassandros (Tony the Chief) Bonasera and John (Johnny Bath Beach) Oddo, and the aforementioned Salvatore (Sally the Sheik) Mussachio and Sebastiano (Buster) Aloi. Another little known, yet extremely powerful member who served as both the top capo and eventually as the consigliere, was Joe Profaci's brother, Salvatore Profaci Sr.

With the exception of Sal Profaci the other four mafiosi I mention were all notorious Brooklyn hoodlums. But two additional important Profaci capos that come to mind (who were virtual unknowns) are Leonardo (Big Leo) Carlino and James (Jimmy Brown) Clemenza Sr.
