Basciano had the 3 known hits, plus an unconfirmed hit at a social club in Queens (discussed in the book), and had Aiello shoot up Joe Bonelli's house.
The Bonelli thing wasn't a hit, per se, but obviously not the sort of thing that the other families are doing these days.
I'd say Basciano was the most violent, hands down.
i agree he was ruthless in 5 years 2000-2005 he had four guys killed. He also was involved in a plot to kill another mobster which never wen through because i think the guy flipped
Ligambi had three guys killed in four years aswell 1999-2003. I would say Merlino is alson a very ruthless boss not just what he did in the 90s even from prison he had johnny gongs killed in 2003 and has alleged ties to the DiePieltro murder and if you include the murders in the 90s he is in double digits the amount of guys he has had killed
