Firepower, manpower, financial power.


Carlo Gambino.

Meeting all criteria and highest level of success in each.

Gambino became a Capo under Mangano / Then becomming underboss to Anastatia = Fire power, manpower, financial power.

No Prision terms served, Died Peacefully in his bed.

If I remember right, Giovanelli was indicted as a captain in his 2001 Brooklyn case.

By the way, him representing the Genovese family at the Commission meeting in 2000 was a mistake made on the forums. It was actually Larry Dentico who represented the Genovese, as he was on the ruling panel at the time.

I would say Roy DeMeo's Brooklyn Crew. He was a punk, but he had alot of good muscle behind him, in his crew. DeMeo knew how to make money. When I say money, I mean BILLS. Every business opportunity which striked, he went into it. He and his guys also knew how to kill. They were never taught with a gun or anything like that, they were professionals when it came to getting rid of someone.

Your perfect command of English is a little suspicious for a former Gambino associate...

Savino reported to Mangano directly, never got anything damaging on Chin as far as direct conversation recordings.

There's some Genovese activity in that area, specifically Ludwig "Ninny" Bruschi who was busted back in 2003 had some gambling operations there along with other parts of NJ.

Why do you say that Ivy?


Well, it's pretty much going to be whatever crew is the strongest in the most powerful family. That would make it a Genovese crew. And this particular Genovese crew seems to be the one that runs things from the top much of the time. In the last 30 years, several of the family's acting bosses (Salerno, Bellomo, Serpico, Muscarella, Nigro) have come from that crew. Another thing to consider is that the crew is a powerhouse in the union rackets. Mainly construction but it's also involved in garbage, trucking, and the waterfront.


IVY you've got my vote! I'd like to mention the Roy Demeo crew who had the highest number of auto thefts in NYC history.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Mikey Franzese. He gets my vote for the best earner. Crew I'd say any Genovese crew.

You are right, LCN. Roy DeMeo did serve as the acting capo of Nino Gaggi´s crew briefly around 1980 when Gaggi was indicted for murder.

from the early 30s/40s to the late 80s the cicero crew was strong

they still have some clout but it's too many other criminal organizations for the mafia to ever have the power that they once had

plus the government doesn't need them like they used to

Every county in NJ has LCN presence. Monmouth included. MANY guys have their homes/families in Monmouth County. It is one of the nicest and wealthiest counties in the state. Perfect place to raise a family. Gives meaning to the state motto "Garden State". The town I grew up in is known for horse farms and siver queen, white corn. Wish I was still there.
