I heard that Mike is suppose to be based off Carlo Gambino. Like the Hyman Roth thing Mike had Carlo had similar dealings with Myer Lansky. Thats the only one I know of are there any others?

Michael is nothing like Carlo Gambino, who was a Sicilian immigrant who became the head of his family after the assassination of the former boss (Albert Anastasia). Gambino also was not a close associate of Meyer Lansky. If anything, Lansky was closer to Anastasia, in whose assassination Gambino was complicit.

Carlo Gambino and Meyer Lansky? That's a new one to me. But anyways, I believe that there is already another Topic in this thread titled "could some please like give me a list of characters to real life mobsters?"
So rather than having the same type of discussion in two different topics, I'm going to close this one and anyone who wishes to make comparisons between real life mobsters and GF characters can do so over in the other topic which already addresses these tyes of comparisons.
