If you where to pick one boss from any organization, in any era, who would be seen as the most powerful and feared person EVER?

I mean everyone group of bad asses:

Camorra
LCN
Mexican Cartels
Russian Mafia
Yazuka
Triads
'Ndrangheta

(I know I left out a lot, too many to list)


The easy answer would be to figure out who made the most money but I don't think that is always the case....I am sure there were plenty of guys who made tons of money but who would shit in their pants at the mention of an impending disagreement with a person like Carmine Galante.

I also think that people who had no qualms about breaking all the rules would be seen as the most feared...Meaning they would kill women, children, nuns, priests, judges, politicians, family members, whoever stood in their way.

So, who do you all think it is/was?
Who stands in a league of their own?

Pablo Escobar?

semion mogilevich.....still alive also [protected by putin}

el chapo would have to be up there....his prison escape was badass

toto riina killed 2 judges while they were in police protection

obviously escobar.. quite hard to put an american leader on there because they tend to take their punishment instead of fucking shit up

You are right Carmine, El Chapo's and his escape was truly bad ass.

Thanks....Never even heard of this guys name until you said it.

I was also thinking El Chapo or Riina

Yup Carmine hit the nail right on the head..read up on this guy hes the top of the volcano protected by a leader of a world super power..as much as I hate fuckin russkyies, hes it no question in todays world

semion is quite famous is russia also, hes an interesting guy because the FBI only recently look him off their 10 most wanted list, i mean they still really want him but i think they know its not gunna happen unless hes stupid enough to get on a place to america by choice (which hes not). But hes caught in the middle of 2 world superpowers that have bigger issues.

Simply put, the FBI dont have the authority or clout to apprehend him. Now thats pretty badass considering they are thought to be the top law enforcement agency in the world.

Not only that, I've recently read the guy had his image on the Internet " Sanitized"
I don't even know how you go about doing that lol

It's Sergei "Mikhas'" Mikhailov who had the Russian internet censor the information about him.
Mogilevich, on the other hand, got weaker I think: in 2008 he was arrested and kept in jail until he agreed to sell part of his business to some rivals.

Aah, my bad good catch. Also very interesting on him being forced to sell some of his businesses, you've given me a new topic to research!!
