Most of these guys are lucky to get 8 or 10 years on the streets without getting pinched and doing a long stretch in prison. Who are some notable guys who managed to stay on the streets for decades without a long sentence? Carlo Gambino is the one that sticks out. Who else had a long undisturbed run?

Do guys out in Chicago and Detroit have longer free stretches than NY guys on average or do I just hear about it less since I'm in NY?

When we say decent run, what do we mean? I'm wondering who managed to stay free for 20-30 years. Boss or not, just anyone who made money without the jail time that goes with it. Tommy Gambino maybe? I'm sure there are quite a few.

I would say tommy lucchese i believe he was boss from 51 or 52-69 when he died dont recall him even bein locked up cept maybe for contempt altho im sure a more knowledgeable poster can set the record straight..also before he was boss and just a capo/UB dont think he did any time?
As far as longest streak for a capo id have to go withxthe various Genovese skippers that PB has mentioned in the past that i never heard of that im sure had decent runs like larry black, severio santoro, muscarella (know he did a stretch in early 2000's) , jimmy messera and john barbato (again i know both did time but i believe they had decent stretches where they were on the streets)... Pure speculation on my part i defer to more knowledgeable guys and better researchers like ivy to correct me if im wrong
Side note, id love to hear more about genovese skippers like messera, barbato, centorre , santoro etc.. To me as a mob novice theyre obscure names but im sure to guys in the know like pb, bronx, njcapo and so on theyre well known powerful guys and big earners... Love to know more about any of them foR my own curiosity perhaps on a separate thread , thanks fellas

With all these names popping up here, it's amazing how gotti got most of the country thinking he's a legend. What did he really have as boss? 4 or 5 years free on the streets, if that...

Yeah I didn't mention it in the post but I wanted to hear about people active in the 80s or even 90s. When things were still crazy with the violence but after the bulk of their connections started to fade.
