Which of these five mafiosi, each of whom were longtime Mafia soldiers serving under New York's Vito Genovese, were actively engaged as major counterfeiters during their underworld careers?

A) Salvatore (Sammy Meatballs) Aparo
B) Modeste (Mickey Morris) Barra
C) Michael (Mike Rosie) Maione
D) Joseph (Joe Tobin) Scarpinito
E) Joseph (Joe Stutz) Tortorici

Note: This list was compiled A-Z and is not indicative of their ranking.

I know this is a bit of a tough one fellas. But I have confidence that our mob historians can answer this correctly. So don't be shy. Take a shot. After all, what have you got to lose?

I did, interesting the best counterfeiters are true artists lol. Counterfeiting has been called "the world's second-oldest profession" after prostitution. Problem is secret services are all over it, when they find out.

Yep. And you are correct Hollander. The very best counterfeiters are based in Europe. Many in Italy. These men are the equivalent of "artists." Criminal artists. But artists nonetheless.
