Anyone know who was the largest earner in the Philly Mob? Im sure they had some good earners with AC being so close and all. Some others that were not mentioned:
Anthony "Nino" Gaggi (Big Pauls most trusted Capo)
Robert "DB" Dibernardo (construction tycoon)
Matthew Madonna (herion, gambling,construction and prostitution, also had a very large earning alliance with the Bloods street gang)
Matty "The Horse" Ianello (Vice Operations, Night Clubs and Restaurants)
Stevie "Wonder Boy" Crea: (Construction, said to have made the overall construction labor costs go up overall 5 percent in NY and had over 40 million a year in construction contracts)
Tino "T" or "the Greek" Fiumara: Controlled every major NJ racket in the 80's and 90's and was labeled a "powerhouse earner"
Of course Crea. Does anyone have any idea how much he's worth? That man is a wonder.

even though not a made man tommy desimmone was probablly a poor earner. always seemed to mess things up let his temper get in the way of everything you could set his blood thistiness to the sun coming up and paul vario even got rid of him at a time when paulie needed earners around......i'll bet paulie would have never got rid of him like that if tommy coulda thrown a huge envelope up You are correct. Paul Vario would have never given up Tommy if he was an earner. The Gambinos actually wanted Jimmy burke and Desimone but Vario wouldnt give up Burke because he earned so much so he gave the Gambinos Tommy for revenge on Billy Batts. In fact, it was said that Burke was the mastermind behind Billy Bats murder because he wanted to take over his loan shark book and even though he was the mastermind Vario wouldnt give him up because his earning capability.

I'm no fan of John Gotti, but he did utter one of the greatest lines in history. It occurred when JG was alone in his club and got the results of his baseball games. He lost every one of 'em..and then he goes "GOD IS A MOTHERFUCKING FAG". Fuck Shakespeare.

1. Michael Franzese - Anywhere from 200-900 Million in Gas Tax money stolen. Where the money went after that. Who knows. His former partner in Witness Protection claims to "only" have given Franzese 50 Million.
2. Peraino Family - Muscled out their third partner in producing Deep Throat. The movie has grossed over 600 Million.
3. Sam Giancana - In 1950s money, he made 150 Million.
4. Pizza Connection - 1 Billion. Divided up between Bonnanos, Italy and Canadien/French organized crime groups.

Jvaley, You have to go back to the 1970s with the Philly Mob for guys who made alot of money. Bruno was the boss for 20 years. The scarfo mob made very little money. In fact when Leonetti went away, he had to go into Scarfo house and take 800k into hiding. Merlino was the street boss and before he went away was trying to find hot rolexs to sell according to Ron Previte. And sold membership into the philly mob for 50k.

google states that behind pablo esobar and carlos ledher (aka diego delgado from the movie blow) that fat tony salerno and meyer lanksy were the richest gangsters. any thoughts According to Lanskys grandson, when he died he had very few assets. He lost millions when Casto took over cuba. Outside of Capone, Franzese and Luciano, the columbians in Medellin in the 1980s, made more money then any of the italian mafia members ever made. Check out the documentary Cocaine Cowboys on Netflix online. Ledhar would have been a capo in the Cartel. The Ochouas (spelling?) made a billion dollars.

I recently caught parts of Cocaine Cowboys, one of the big drug smugglers interviewed said the Ochoa brothers were the real power behind the Medellin Cartel, and not Pablo Escobar. I think some of the Ochoa brothers are alive and well, after only doing a few years in Colombian prisons. The money some of the smugglers were making was beyond belief. The movie "Blow" starring Johnny Depp is about George Jung, he was a major smuggler for the Medillin during the 70's.

Greg del palma in his later years was a bad earner Indeed, Depalma was so hard up for cash he allowed himself to be duped by that fat slob of an FBI agent Jack Garcia. I don't know how Garcia was able to pass himself off as a guy of Italian ancestry originally from Cuba. His infiltration of Depalma read like a low budget C grade mafia movie. Greg Depalma's stupidity did some serious damage to the Gambino's, Garcia's work took down many of their top guys including acting boss at the time Arnold Squitieri.

Spin it any way I want? I can only spin it one way. That's what's beautiful about this statement. It's clear, it's to the point and it's passionate! Sort of like "To be or not to be...". Only that one lacked fire and class.

Gotti gambled all his crews earnings away. Angelo and Gene always complained about it. If it wasn't for Dellacroce Gotti would have never gotten his button. Gott's gambling led to a hilarious phone call between Angelo and Gene that was intercepted.... Angelo: You gotta do yourself a favor and everybody else a favor too. We gotta see how we're gonna close this fucking joint in New York. Gene: Yeah, what happened now? Angelo: That fucking hard-on, you know that hard-on, the guy your mother shit out. Gene: Go ahead. Angelo: He lost thirty dollars last night. We were on top sixty balloons! I left there one-thirty and we're on top sixty balloons! We didn't need him in the fucking game! Gene: I'm by the club now. Angelo: We were on top sixty balloons - what, is he kidding somebody or what, this guy? Who the fuck needed him there? So what is he looking to do now? Just take advantage of people or what? Let's see how we gotta do it, Genie. Gene: Oh fuck him. I don't give a fuck. What is he looking to do, this guy? Is he abusing his position or what?
