Yes, this guy did it all. He was a Boss and while also dealing successfully with other families lives a long life and dies peacefully. That’s a good story no one knows, so yes very underrated.
Be Loyal, Be Loving, Be Quiet.

Mike Miranda is Dead at 82; Figure Linked to the Mafia
Sept. 21, 1973
This is a digitized version of an article from The Times’s print archive, before the start of online publication in 1996. To preserve these articles as they originally appeared, The Times does not alter, edit or update them. Occasionally the digitization process introduces transcription errors or other problems; we are continuing to work to improve these archived versions.
Mike Miranda, an elder states man of the Genovese Mafia family, died of natural causes in Miami on Sunday. He was 82 years old.
Miranda, who had an elabo rate home said to have cost $75,000 in Forest Hills Gardens, Queens, had been arrested a number of times, twice for murder, but served very little time in prison.
He did 30 days for picking pockets at Coney island in 1915 and spent two years in prison for refusing to talk about the Apalachin meeting of under world leaders in 1957, at which he had been a participant.
While his name was often linked to charges of gambling, loan?sharking, extortion and violence of many types, he was known in the underworld as “a man of respect,” one who sought peace among warring factions. He often settled disputes that might have led to bloodletting. Top leaders more often than not accepted his pronouncements.
"The king is dead, long live the king!"

In the 60s authorities listed several associates: Lucky Luciano, Giuseppe Doto, Calogero Iacono of Italy, Francesco Costiglia, Anthony Strollo, Carmine Galante, Joseph Stracci and Meyer Lansky. Never heard of them... In all seriousness I'm not sure there's a more impressive list of who's associated with a mobster. Miranda was certainly a power broker who isn't discussed enough.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
