without a doubt

Not sure that any US mobster was anywhere close to Riina's guys in Italy. They blew up part of a highway to kill one magistrate, detonated another bomb to kill another magistrate, kidnapped one of Inzerillo's kids, cut his arm off and shot him in the head, kidnapped a rat's kid, strangled him to death and disolved his body in a vat of acid, among many other atrocities committed during Riiina's time in power. No US mobster would ever dream of doing any of the things that they did, not even Scarpa and DeMeo, as crazy and demented as they were.

JC, you make a very valid point. The guys on the other side are a different breed altogether!

The way they "play in the sandbox" is WAY different than America....

To be fair back then especially they also got to play by a different set of rules. What they were doing was more like what you think of the drug gangs doing in places like Colombia and Mexico, little if any regard for human life. It eventually backfired on them, as even in a country dominated by different mafia groups the outcry from the public was just too loud when magistrates started getting blown up and kids were getting killed. So the government had to crack down, and bosses in Sicily started getting locked up for good or having to be constanly on the run and in hiding if they wanted to stay out of the can.

If guys in the US ever did anything like Riina's guys did, there would be no mafia here. The FBI would make the pressure that they put on the guys in NYC and NJ after Everet Hatcher got killed by Gus Farace look like a pleasant fireside chat!

You are 1000% correct! Aside from the moral dilemma which is considerable. Even for Mafiosi... most DO have a conscious despite what many in the public sector think, The government would crack down like we've NEVER seen in the country. Thats always been another key reason why there's a unwritten law that you don't kill cops or journalists. Or innocents for that matter.... draws to much heat.

Gus Farace for sure.

I view Gus Farace more as a jerk off than a vile or dangerous guy. He was just a young jerkoff who was largely a fuck up. He got himself clipped because of it.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Anthony Casso.

Casso realized early on that killing other made guys and taking over their rackets was very lucrative. Granted, these hits were ordered by higher ups, but when Casso was put in more powerful positions I believe he continued this practice of killing other guys to take over their rackets. Casso admitted to 33 murders, only 4 or 5 US serial killers have committed more murders than that. There was no sense of brotherhood or "family" when it came to Casso. Other made men were simply there to be exploited by him.

Other transgressions include killing made guys for no good reason other than greed and paranoia, like the hit on Michael Salerno. He did nothing wrong, but Amuso and Casso felt he was getting too powerful so they labelled him a rat and ordered his death.

Then of course Casso turned informant and threw everyone he knew under the bus.

A true piece of shit.

Casso's a waste of oxygen, agreed. Someone should cut his head off and let him rot in piss.

It was Ralph Salerno former NYPD who said that exact quote.

Joseph Todaro Sr
Was called lead pipe because when he did hits for the mob in the 1940s and 1950s he would shoot them and then slam a lead pipe up they’re ass. Todaro was also the nephew of the former boss before him Sammy Frangimore

To one of the comments above there’s guys in the life that are decent people that just do bad things for a living and then there’s guys in the life that are just evil bad people

But like I said in the beginning I’m not sure Casso is as bad as Castellano ,demeo and dibenardo. What is more vile than sex trafficking children????

Sam DeStefano
Charles Gagliodotto
Salvatore Granello

That was the Brusca brothers

They were absolute scum

Yes, Brusca, Riina, and all those Corleonese were very deadly and Godless individuals. Bad guys - all around!! ... even for the Mafia

Then Nino Gaggi needs adding to that list group.

In America, Mad Sam Destefano takes some beating. What he did to Action Jackson and Peter Capeletti was just vile.

I would put Demeo and Tommy Pitera in a close joint second place.
(spare a thought for the cops/FBI who had to excavate Tommy Karates Staten Island "graveyard" - which would have been truly horrifying)

I dont know why some added Tony Mirra to the list.?.
He was a mean dude of course but as far as we know, he didnt dismember bodies. He was a stone cold shooter (killer) but then so was Lefty.

I do agree with the comment that guys like Demeo, Tommy Karate should never have been made.
A mad killer that can be let off the leash when needed is useful to a mob boss but they have no place amongst the inducted Crime family members.

Another example of over promoting a Mobster.....
Tommy Bilotti was a handy little pitull to unleash and I can accept him as a soldier but he had NO business as a Capo and certainly NOT Underboss......

Tony Arcardo and Al Capone were no joke, baseball bats and blow torches pretty vile if you ask me

Ruggiero Boiardo, better known as "Richie the Boot" or "Diamond Richie" from Northern New Jersey was, without a doubt, one of the most depraved sick motherfuckers to ever operate in the American underworld. This is a man who killed for the pleasure of killing. A man who didn't murder in the more traditional sense of "gangland-style" executions such as by a gun, knife, or garrote, but who took glee and got a sick macabre sense of pleasure out of torturing his victims and watching them suffer.

It was well known even among members of the underworld that Boiardo would trap his prey by knocking down into a large deep hole and then douse his victims in gasoline and set them ablaze in a makeshift pit he kept in the back of his residential property for this very purpose. Another time he ordered his men to lock a victim in the trunk of a car and then set the car on fire, trapping the man inside so he'd burn to death while they watched and laughed.

This is sick, sick shit. Stuff that even men ordered to kill would never even think to do.

Remember that most guys who have been ordered to kill do so at the order of their superiors are usually repulsed by such depraved behavior as described above. Most fellas don't relish taking a life, but do so because they are obligated by their "oath" and so blindly follow orders under pain of death themselves.

But Boiardo and some of his Jersey crew was next level for sure.

And of course we all know about the absolutely degenerate behavior and depraved "satanic" styled behavior of Roy Demeo and his lot who gutted and dismembered their many victims like sheep led to the slaughter.

IMO, these types of men who do this sort of thing have no place in the mob. These depraved demented fucks (who are no better than serial killers) should be "put down" like the rabid amimals they truly were. Smarter guys should have called a spade a spade and weeded these fucks out. (in truth these types of guys never should have even been embraced in the first place).

Toto Riina > any American you can name

Riina and his crew from the Leggio days are the sickest LCN to ever live.

Even the cartels were afraid of them. Don Badalamente moved to SA and even his allies were scared of Riina

My family has known the Inzerllio's for decades, an incredibly tough family, even they were smart enough to flee from Riina.

half the guys born before 1950 have rape/child molestation convictions

Christy Tick etc

I would have to agree with Boiardo and probably add Joseph Guglielmo and Angelo LaPietra to the list.

NyMafia beat me to it, those were the three I would have picked. Killers with no soul, all three of them.

Pretty clear that mob in the USA didnt deal in "child molestation" and the comment that 'half the guys' in the mafia had 'rape or child molestation charges' is complete nonsense.

Sam Destefano

Prayed to the devil
Got a sexual charge out of killing
Had his wife raped by a black man at gunpoint
Tourted his victims. Cut theyre genitals off
Stuck a gun up one guys ass and pulled the trigger the guys asshole exploded and the guy vomited at the same time

5 minute google search I can show you a dozen cops involved in sex crimes, but for me to say 'half the cops' are sex criminals would be stupid. Or, for me to suggest that the police, as an organization, takes part in sexual crimes would be wrong. Sexual crimes, especially involving children are prohibited in LCN and there are plenty of stories of guys being killed for it. But there are bad people in all walks of life...as we can see with the many many murdering, raping, child abusing police.

Here you go;
Pedo cops

I could keep going, after searching I see literally HUNDREDS of cases of pedo cops.

There are less than a handful with any sort of rape arrests, not always convictions, and no child molesters --none.

These guys hate the Mafia so bad they exaggerate everything lol with zero sources to back it up.
