Pound for Pound, who was the biggest mob guy in porn?
Anthony Peraino (Colombo)
Frank Profaci (Colombo)
Mickey Zaffarano (Bonanno)
Matty Ianniello (Genovese)
Joe Brocchini (Lucchesse)
Robert Di bernardo (Gambino)
Roy Demeo (Gambino)
(Of course if this is missing someone, add to the conversation)
Who produced the best quality films? Who made the sleaziest?
Who had the most creative racket involving porn?

@NyMafia correction, it was Salvatore Profaci, the other brother. I had to look it up but I knew I read that somewhere. Any assessment on him if you have any?

I take that Demeo was the sleaziest in your opinion  Seems that Matty (as far as this business went) was more traditional in his rackets. Joe Bikini seem to have to most ingenuity (he will be in posted apart of my other thread) Do you know of the Gambinos being involved before D.B? Who had more pull in the industry? Peraino or Zaffarano (I guest I'm saying who's name carried more weight? More name value? And I'm guessing Time Square was just a haunch for filth back in the day lol

Funny how Joe Bonanno claimed to be against smut yet he had guys like Mikey Z in that biz for years.
@Dob_Peppino, Were there any other Bonanno guys involved in this area? well you have to remember that the porno business didn't really get started big time until about 1967 or so, based on new obscenity laws. Joe Bonanno was already being deposed by 1966 or so. Fighting a war and kicked out completely by 1967-68. So he really missed that entire racket. Mickey Zaffarano's involvement in porno was really after Bonanno.

When you say produced the best quality films do you mean made copies or actually produced porn flicks as in...producer? I meant quality in production (producer) not distribution (copies) but if you know of them selling cheap tapes that popped on a rewind, have at it. That would be interesting (or funny) to know as well
