I voted for Al Capone. Being in Chicago, his reputation, portrayed in film, etc.  Nice poll by the way.

He had exhaustive files on everyone from Elvis to Bobby Kennedy. Naturally, anything tying him to something shady was destroyed by his loyal secretary (I think her name was Rose?). Definitely the epitome of a hypocrite. 
History always shows us the truth in the end and it can be a right gobsmacker sometimes eh

How could anyone not have voted for Capone. The man is legendary. Granted he probably was not the best leader of all time. I still have to give that either to Carlo Gambino or Lucky Luciano....Capone just seems to have that X factor that zips him to the top of any mob awareness list.

even as a kid we all hear the name Al Capone. when we talk of gangsters, Al Capone first comes to mind. Luciano Pavarotti is more famous than Lucky Luciano . . . GoodFella
