So Gene Borrello claims nobody made 10 million dollars a week, in the complete history of the mafia? How the fuck would he know? so Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky adjusted for inflation didn't make that much? Doesn't mean they didn't have to split it or maybe not for a substantial amount of time but how would he even know, he didn't have a button and he's after the 2000's.
I haven’t heard of any american mobster making money equivalent to an international drug kingpin but that is because the laws are stricter here. There were some mobsters who were involved with drugs who were making the american equivalent of what someone like Escobar was making I’m sure. Galante comes to mind first. I don’t think there were any other rackets that generated as much cash as drugs for the mafia. Maybe gambling. If that’s the case then you would just look at the top gambling operations during that time. Tony Salerno had the biggest.
