IMHO Vito Genovese was the ultimate gangster. When he was a kid Nicky Scarfo probably had dreams about Vito.

Everyone says that Gambino, Luciano,and Lansky set up Genovese for that smack arrest that had him die in prison. But afterwards don't you think he would of known he was setup? Why didn't he have Gambino or Lansky hit if he believed it was them that put him in prison to die? He still had had the juice to have it done. Ok Luciano was in italy but Gambino and Lansky were do-able.
