1. john jr gotti caught with his list of proposed members.
2. john stanfa made an ex cop and a junkie veasey.

who else would you add to that list?

The late Mike Virtuoso of the Bonnanos also had some sort of formal typed list of all the guys he knew and there standing in OC

PETE GOTTI..by far...

Hes a contender for sure

pete gotti definitely. why did mike virtuso have a list? what was his standing and background??

gene is the smartest guy in that family..including sr.

Anyone who got caught on a wiretap after the Commission Case.

Otherwise I would have to agree with Peter or Junior Gotti when it comes to high ranking mobsters. Their own guys were making jokes about how stupid they were. My favorite is the joke about Junior getting in the back seat of his car and thinking that someone stole his steering wheel.

Just a soldier, he owned a butcher shop and deli in Williamsburg BK

I woulden't call Stanfa so much dumb as desperate.

Butchie Petrocelli collected Harry Aleman's defense fund under Angelo LaPietra's name to the tune of $100,000 at an X-Mas party one year than pocketed it...wasn't heard from much shortly after that...or again

There all dumb

Petrocelli was just crazy & got into drugs. People were legitimately terrified of him. He definitely wasn't dumb in his heydey though, the Wild Bunch were extremely thorough, precise burglars & cargo thieves. And killers, obviously.

I'd go with Rocky Infelice. I can only speak for Chicago though.

Not if you define smart by years spent outta the can.

Anthony "Tony Nicks" Nicodemo

Frank Amato.

When your married to the daughter of Big Paul Castellano it really aint too smart to beat and cheat on her!

Carmine Persico. he represented himself!

You don't get to where Infelice got by being dumb, he really gave the rackets in the burbs a jump when he got the juice and when he got sent away people still ate off the plate made. He was dumb for not killing Cerone after he fucked his wife but what can you do.

bobby glasses. fucking guy kills 2 people over a spilled drink.

Alphonse Persico following his dad foot steps life and the can.

cerone fucked his wife?? where did you find that or are you a local and its common knowledge?

Al Capone. He was set up in the business by Torrio, then let things get too out of hand.

Capone was not dumb. Yeah too public but made a lot of money.

+1

And not even on him.

Sonnyblackstein was pretty dumb.....oooops i mean sonny black

Its not common knowledge but its been said enough to hold weight, its also been posted here along with other guys wives he slept with.

come on guys. capone and infelice the dumbest? they weren't the smartest but def not the dumbest. get real now

I think killing them was over the top but i dont think id call him stupid. Still no genius...

That joke was made about his son-in-law, Carmine Agnello.

john gotti for more than two or three reasons

nicky scarfo

sam giancana

carl deluna

joey gallo

this may be controversial but angelo bruno.

he had beef coming from everywhere and did not kill em. capinigro and testa should of both got it along with scarfo for not backing him in the testa beef. a boss must keep the troops disciplined. he failed to do so when it was so blatant. if he lacked power and hitters he could of called upon castellano to lay some guys down and show some strong support. he didnt use what he had and paid for it.

dumb move for bruno and philly.
