My vote goes to Sal Romano who was another Wolf of Wall Street.
He started out as an assistant stock broker but quickly moved up the ranks and began associating with mobsters. He was involved in pump and dump schemes and went on record with guys like John "Johnny G" Gammarano and later Michael DiLeonardo.
He lived in a $5 million dollar Staten Island mansion which cost more than Paul Castellano's mansion, known as the "White House".
Romano was eventually indicted in a nearly $100 million stock scam in 2003.
He puts brokester capos like Greg DePalma to shame.

Michael Persico is undoubtedly successful, but not quite in the multi-millionaires club.

lol I can't deny he is very wealthy and although I highly doubt he is on record with the Philly family, he is certainly a "connected guy"

What about Joseph F. Mastronardo from Philly? Were he and his late father ever made? Were they under the Bruno family?

They were independent... resisted any attempts to be shaken down They don't look that tough, in fact the Mastronardo guys look like a bunch of fa***ts.....then again...one shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

I think you have to define connected . I just assumed your connected your made or maybe a made guys brothers. I see perisco bronx threw out there he might not be made but shit from all those recordings made colombo member made against him hes still lending 100k on loans. But to think the last 20 yrs scams and unions and just oldsckool loan shark+bookies its probaly a huge question. Fuck that old guy angelo ponte. Some say he had family inducted. Or just well respected by the genovese. Connected guy = "Friend of mine" Made guy = "Friend of ours" Made guy's brother = Made guy's brother

Andrew Gigante, Carmine Franco,Angelo Ponte, Phil Baretti. John Quardozzi. Phillip Castellano. All these guys would be the wealthiest of the last 20 years. Connected guys not made guys. Three garbage hauling guys, two concrete guys and Andrew Gigante (not sure what he does these days). I can see where the mob can help them out....for a price.
