Cockeyed Nick Rattenni was one of those powerhouse guys that was very much under the radar. Was at the top of all carting for Rockland and Westchester counties and probably owned more real estate than McDonald’s.
Thats right, RomanNE. Bravo! You picked "Cockeyed Nick" Rattenni and that is a correct answer.
You're also correct when you say that he was a powerhouse. Rattenni was, as you mentioned, one of the most powerful mafioso to ever operate in Westchester and Rockland Counties. My understanding is that he came up under Rocco Pellegrino's crew, and later became a capo himself...and a powerful one at that. He was also reportedly very close to consigliere/boss Frank Costello.
How about the others listed? Do you have any thoughts about who any of them could be?
