The criteria for being a boss is being both respected and feared. Thats about it. Financial statements are not part of the calculation
.
Not really true. Yes anybody can be boss by being feared/respected but they most likely won’t be as good or last long if they don’t know other rackets besides the basic ones. I mean Gotti is the perfect example if a boss built on the two principles you laid out yet was the guy who destroyed the mob
Gotti, scarfo, amuso, basciano, persico. The bigger the rackets, the more likely to get sent away.
If carlo was around with the technology law enforcement had in the late 80’s, he would have lasted about 5 minutes on the street.
The newer bosses arent involved in a fraction of the money/ rackets that were common in the 70’s and 80’s hence more longevity. Even then, they are still going away. Ask steven crea about that. Being smart gets you an extra year of freedom. Chin did time the day he started that crazy act.
