Crime Families

Who is your favourite crime family of all time? And why?

Mines is quite boring it's the Genovese family. Mostly because of

their success and low amount of informants. Also the intersting

members they've had like Luciano,Costello,Gigante,Salerno

Genovese,Moretti,Adonis. Outside of NY i'd say Chicag,Cleveland or New England.

I don't know if "favorite" is the word. Most interesting? The West Side, for any number of reasons.

Mine has to be the Morello family. The clutch hand was the first boss of bosses an thank the lord the secret service got him or we would likely know little to nothing about the family(like al the othr pre1931 bosses and families) and definatly would not have a picture of him. He came to.America attempting to go legit but "just when he thought he was out they pull him back in", they being lack of money and work. Thats why i like the old days, preprohibition if you were a gangster, 9 times out of 10 its cause you had no other choice.

So, more or less, the Genovese family for you too?

My favorite crime families are the Police Crime Family and the FBI Crime Family. In Italy, the Carabinieri Crime Family

You got a particular fav on the west side Ivy?

Mine is Detroit then New Orleans. Detroit was my all time because of all the blood relation it was very tight knit. If you were not around them from the time the imbelical cord was cut then they did not allow you within an arms length. That is why they have had only 1 informant.

I hope I spelled imbelical right.

Guess so ivy

Mines gotta be the philly family after bruno died up until merlinos arrest.

I have a soft spot for the Rizzutos...

the scarfo family and even though it isn't a "family" the winter hill gang.

The Lucchese's maybe but certainly the Bonannos not because of Galante or Massino or Sonny Black bla bla...because of muthaf***n Joe Bonanno,he was a masonic gangster,did it all,quote"one of the devils that walked the earth"

The Genovese crime family arent boring. Vito Genovese, Frank Costello and Luciano were top bosses. Luciano worked with Al Capone and controlled the Drug Trade in America for over 30 years. Luciano was that connected he was moved to another prison by Meyer Lansky during his prostitution charges. Vito Genovese is based on Emilio Barzini due to the fact Vito would kill anyone in his way and wanted to become the top boss in America and Italy. The Genovese are the top of the ladder in Organised Crime in America. Gigante created the Messaggero, Gigante pretended to be Mad and thats what fooled the feds and cops. It is estimated they have around 300 made members and over 2000 associates which would make them the largest crime family in America.

Winter hill gang arent a crime family. The Scarfo crime family are also known as The Philadelphia mob.
