Extra credit for me for listing them out 1-5.


If it wasn't for Marcello being dropped into a jungle, going to jail, and just being such a grouch everyday of his life LOL he would be the guy, but he had a rough last 15-20 years, or more. between jail, courts, the Kennedys, dropped into a jungle while being deported, man, talk about stressful.

He was one of the most powerful bosses outside NY and Chicago, and he seemed to never enjoy life. You see pictures of Accardo at parties and fishing, Joey Doves hunting, Carlo G with Sinatra, you see pictures of other bosses smiling, LaRocca on a cruise, etc, I don't know if there is more than1 photo of Marcello smiling ever LOL

1 thing most of these guys on the list had in common, they did not make many guys, especially in their last 15-20 years in power, their families died out due to prosecutions and not enough made guys around to keep anything going. Some might say that is a good thing, some a bad thing, but its an observation.



I struggled between him and La Rocca for 1 for that exact same reason. I ended up going with Marcello simply because it is virtually unheard of for a guy from New Orleans/the South to have that much power and clout in LCN. Pittsburgh obviously isn't much bigger, but since it is on the "East-ish" Coast and is driving distance to both Chicago and NY and is obviously close to Philly I chose Marcello. Upon reading both of your posts on here, I think I'd like to switch La Rocca and Marcello LOL.
