The thing is, who's gonna question it except for guys like us? I bet 99% of the people who have seen the list assumed it was authoritative, since it was coming from Forbes.

I have seen it cited in MSM articles about the mob pretty often. It seems to have already "gone down in history" as factual, and this probably isn't going to change just because "IvyLeague", "Ivan", and "HairyKnuckles" on some gangster message board don't approve. mad

It's actually interesting, in that it is a good demonstration of how dumb journalism can create pseudo-history.
