Frank Desimone - FBI files say there was no racket activity while he was in charge. He let the borgata rot. Additionally, he was scared of his own shadow and terrified of Joe Bonanno. The only person who seemed to give him any respect was John Roselli
Tony Giordano - St Louis family head during the time all the other families were making money. St Louis is a very old family at this point and he let the rackets dry up too, refusing to make anyone but the three guys who were active. Many did not consider them a family. That being said he's super interesting. Google him
In their defence these 2 were situated in cities with a very low Italian population.Even if they were successfull by now these families they would of been dead because of the decling Italian population

He refused to talk/meet with anyone but his underboss. The members would bring their idea/scam/racket(or whatever you wanna call it) to the underboss, he would take it to Desimone and he would shoot it down Everytime by saying things were 'too hot' right now. He basically wouldn't let his soldiers do anything.

While there were worse bosses, Vito Genovese and John Gotti were really instrumental in blowing the lid off organized crime and allowing law enforcement to build cases, hand out indictments and in the latter's case, use RICO convictions to dismantle rackets entirely. Both of their leaderships caused major blows to LCN and even if they weren't the worst (they're admittedly well known and fascinating to study), their successors should not look at their reigns as a net positive for the mob.

He basically wouldn't let his soldiers do anything. i cant believe they didnt get together and take him out.But im guessing the soldiers were doing drug deals without him knowing so it didnt matter much.Or he was giving the rackets to joe bonnano

I agree 100% Quck question about Trafficante, didn’t he do the same as Marcello and basically shut it down or was it NY that shut them down? Those Ybor city guys had a lot of clout in the old days and when the NY guys starting venturing down to Tampa they steered clear of the Ybor guys.
