If he was really making something like $6 mil a week he has to have been the richest at the time. We can't know for sure, but even with all the other big money schemes going on and tribute they received I'd guess he was making more than the bosses. Even if he was giving Persico $2 mil a week.
And if he was giving Persico $2 mil a week, do you think that would bump Persico up to the richest boss at the time?
Really not sure. I would assume so but I feel like the genovese and gambino family had more clout. Maybe they had earners who made money like Franzese that we didn’t really know about. Lombardozzi had a lot of money apparently like I said. Same with Catena and Casso too I believe. I wonder if they were making money like a lot of the drug dealers at that time if not more.
Also, I’m surprised Franseze wasn’t more revered like Gotti and others were if he was making more money than at least mostly everybody
