Yes.
He wanted the wife so he simply had the husband clipped and then married her a fortnight later.
I think Frank Costello told Vito exactly what he thought about it too (It would draw the attention of the cops)

Yes, Vito Genovese is probably on the list too. He did kill a man to get the woman who would become his wife.

I say probably because when his wife double crossed him when he went to jail, he did not have her killed. A true psychopath would have killed her.

The Genovese idiots from Springfield that killed Bruno may qualify. IMO, the Genovese's have had more strategists and tacticians than all the other families combined. They have had some wily and cunning SOB's.

How about the Irish-American Eddie Cumminskey?
He was a loon and reputedly is the one who schooled Jimmy Coonan in dismemberment?
(Coonan did NOT learn that trick from Roy DeMeo as you may think)

Another possible psychopath who I forgot to mention:

James "Whitey" Bulger

The Mafia doesn't want psychopaths. It needs people who are loyal, dependable, and trustworthy, and they test candidates rigorously to verify that they are "stand-up guys". But the Mafia recruits exclusively from the criminal population, so obviously a lot of psychopaths will slip past the screening process, more so than what you'd see in a legitimate corporation. The psychopaths who make it in are liable to get whacked because they are the ones skimming money, neglecting appointments, or disrespecting their colleagues.

Well said. A member of the Mafia who´s killing for the Mafia should not automatically be categorized as a psychopath. Murder is (and has always been) a necessity to maintain rules and laws within the Mafia. It doesn´t take a psychopath to pull a trigger. I´m sure most of these guys have issues of many kinds but to categorize all of them (including the killers) as psychopaths is to simplify a human´s complexed nature.

I agree. The Mafia does not want psychopaths. Generally the Mafia is looking for stand up guys who can contribute to the organization´s wellbeing.

With that being said, I´d like to welcome you aboard, Bifford.

Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss

Definitely. Psychopath. Sociopath. Liar. disgusting man.

Another "Psychopath" was Mad Sam Destefano from Chicago, he had built a soundproof torture chamber in his basement

Not only that, when his wife pissed him off once didn't he kidnap a black man and forced him to have sex with his wife while he watched. And If memory serves me correct didn't he also serve coffe with urine in it to FBI agents? That is one sick dude!

I watched the mobsters episode on him and he even raped a woman in a bar after they got into an argument. Definately a sadist.

This guy apparantly forced his woman to piss in a cup of coffee that was meant for visiting FBI agents.

He should have been taken out the William action Jackson way.

Mad Sam even tortured one of his own men when he found out the guy had been witholding some money from him.
He had him tied naked to a radiator and turned the heating right up.
Finally, the victims family were brought in to urinate on him to "cool him down"

Sam was one evil dude!

If a killing is done because someone runs over your child and kills them and then runs away and tries to hide, then kill the motherfucker.

If a person would rape your sister, I say stick a butcher knife up the guys anus and rip out his intestines.

If a guy was going around the neighborhood terrorizing innocent people, and doing bad stuff to them, Hunt him down and put a bullet in his head. No questions asked.

Does that make me a psychopath?

No, that just makes you a very protective person

Destefano was just pure evil

The Westies in general were pretty psychotic. They even kept dismembered limbs as trophies. Here's a story about Cummiskey, after he dismembered a former gang member :

''The following day, Coonan and Cummiskey went out for a drink with Billie Beattie at the Sunbrite Bar. Allegedly, they brought the head of Dugan with them, set it down on the bar stool, ordered his favorite whiskey, lit one of his cigarettes and put it in his mouth. They are reputed to have said that "Although he fucked up, he was still a good Irishman".''

Sam must of been a Prick Expert from all dicks he saw

I would do the same if I really loved the women and knew she felt the same way.

He definitely had some sort of sexual deviancy issues. He was even convicted of a rape when he was 18.

ahhh amore...Vito had a style!

Richard Kuklinski, Giovanni Brusca and Leonardo Vitale.

They're all fucking pyschotic. Plus, They're also all cowards; stick a .38 long nose up one of their asses & see how brave he is?

It's easy to be tuff when you outnumber & outgun your opponent, ask any cop.

they are not all psychotic

Scarpa and Bulger were worst. Scarpa gave up everyone for years, and justified it by calling self some sort of secret agent, according to his son. Bulger still seems totally unrepentant, and like Scarpa he gave up many friends, and it seem she was good at lying to agent handling him, by giving made up info on Boston Mafia.
