I am a little late to the discussion, but my most intriguing guys would be:

1. Chin
2. Lansky
3. Accardo
4. Carlo
5. Carlos Marcello

I would love the opportunity to "interview" these guys. All were great leaders.

Marcello makes the list just so I can find out if he and LCN actually did have a role in clipping JFK.

All the psychopaths previously mentioned (Casso, Demeo, Pitera, Scarpa) are a dime a dozen.

Leaders who spent most of their career as boss with limited jail time are rare.

IMO, that makes them more intriguing.


Best way to catch the smart ones? Get an idiot working for them.
