For me its defiantly Carmine Persico his war with Joey gallo and him surviving murder attempt after murder attemp even the way he got put away for life in the big commision case hes been involved in a lot of lcn history.I wonder how things would of gone if he was aquitted and he was on the streets during the 3rd colombo war.

Also chin probably has 10x the amount of blood on his hands but his crimes and past are a big mystery

Well, if we're talking about "interesting" in the overall sense, and not just the criminal history, then Chin's story would actually make for a nice sociological discussion. Four brothers become gangsters (one of them gay, to boot), one a priest. Pretty interesting stuff.

The chin for me too. Old enough to have been around names like Costello and anastasia and stuck around long enough to see the gotti era and after. Imagine the stories he could tell...

lol which one was gay. i know his daughter is, must run in the family or something.


Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Scarfo fascinates the hell out of me. An interesting personality, whatever you may think of him as a boss.

I'm going to go with Tony Ducks. I just think the whole Lucchese Family is interesting in general.

you got to put a date on it, lets say after april 1992 the month gotti gets life. the only official bosses after that was stanfa merlino chin an massino I think and baby shacks in rhode island. most interesting has to be merlino cause its just the ongoing soap opera is he still boss or not. but we heard from uncle joes mouth as of 2010 merlino can make who ever he wants when he gets home. like when fat tony got caught on wire saying leave it up to the boss when a family passed a note of proposed guys but didn't use there nicknames. merlino wasn't connected like rizzuto but they killed a lot of guys during his time when the big 5 families had made rules not to whack guys in the 90tys after the Colombo war.

Jack Tocco out of detroit can shed alot of light on things.


From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

I'll go with James Marcello. Short in stature but apparently tough as nails. Could hurt many of the remaining Outfit guys, but don't bet on it. From all I've read and heard, this guy is old-school and gutsy. The G would love to "turn" this man.

Does anyone know the outcome of the ranch the G tried to seize?

I say Jimmy Marcello because of how young he was when he became a top 3 guy. More or less unheard of within the Chicago Mafia.

Joe Massino. The guy was a mob boss and a rat, doesn't get much more interesting than that. There is probably a ton of things he knows about which haven't been revealed and won't be for years.

He would have gone down as one of the greatest bosses ever if he hadn't of ratted , wot he did with the bonnano family after all there troubles and the Donnie Brasco affair was phenomenal . He shut down all the social clubs and stopped members attending weddings and wakes . He got the bonnanos seat bak on the commission and took them from being on there knees to arguably one of the powerful families in the country during the 90s . Massino was pretty much the head of the commission being the only official boss on the street from the mid 90s to the early 2000s

They got really lucky along the way, though. The feds didn't have them targeted in the Commission case since they had been removed by the other families and pretty much written off as an endangered species by the feds.

Yeah I agree snakes , being kicked off the commission allowed them to stay under the radar
