I'm curious who forum members think was the most financially successful, yet low-key mafioso to ever operate in NYC. It doesn't have to be limited to just one name either, because I know there are so many to choose from. Each forum member participating can choose up to 3 mafiosi.

So with that said, here's the criteria to go by:

1. financially successful, both in money and "assets" (real estate, businesses, etc)
2. served little to no jail time (or tops 1 moderate jail term)
3. held legitimate business interests as well as racket interests. He wasn't just a hoodlum
4. Not a vicious guy. Maybe did what had to be done, but wasn't an out and out animal.
5. and finally, lived a long and happy life. Both in years on this earth as well as a wealthy and opulent lifestyle...ie; nice home, vacations, fancy clothes, girlfriends, cars, etc.

Let's see what the varied opinions are.

One more criteria. KEEP THE CHOICES TO NEW YORK CITY OR NEW JERSEY MAFIOSI ONLY...........NO OUT OF STATE GUYS!
