Ivy, in your own opinion, who are some of the highest present day mob earners and most profitable bookmaking crews?
Generally speaking, the Genovese family has the biggest and most profitable bookmaking and loansharking operations in the New York/New Jersey area. When you boil it all down, that and the fact they have the most labor union influence left, is what makes them the #1 family.
I don't know if he's still active but Salvatore LoCascio made a ton of both legal and illegal money, his cramming and stock frauds have made hundreds of millions.
I don't recall Locascio's crew being involved in stock fraud. Their main two scams were the internet porn scam and phone cramming scam.
I would think the chin.He was in charge of the biggest family and even before he was boss he was the most powerful capo.I wonder what he did with his money?He lived in a modest home wore a bathrobe allday and didnt travel too much in his later years.
Chin was actually known for not taking a lot of money off his captains. He was already a millionaire and so didn't really need it. And you're right, he never really went anywhere. After he died, one law enforcement official was talking about what Chin got out of it. He thought it was really just the "pure power" he exercised.
