After posting our last opinion quiz about which particular Mafia boss, of the five I listed, had lived the best life and enjoyed the best underworld career, it got me thinking about the State of California.

One of the five Mafia bosses I listed was James Lanza, the decades-long boss of San Francisco, California.

So now I’d like to get everybody’s opinion about this little doozy, ok?

My question is: Which of these three Mafia bosses, who headed the three known families that once controlled the State of California, was, overall, the most successful in terms of:

- The wealth he accumulated in terms of money, assets, and legitimate businesses.
- The power and influence he wielded.
- The longevity of his reign.
- The “quality of his life during that reign and happiness he enjoyed during his life.
- How much jail time he did.

Was it…

A) James “Jimmy the Hat” Lanza (City of San Francisco)
B) Giuseppe “Joe” Cerrito (City of San Jose)
C) Ignazio "Jack" Dragna (City of Los Angeles)
-

I'm curious as to how everyone on the forum feels about it...Who would you pick?
