I wanted to put which families are the most powerful in North America? Could you rank them? The reason I say North America and not just America is because of Vito rizzuto's regime in Canada. The Genovese family. Always has been. Also, what can you tell me about Gerard "Jerry" chilli? I heard about him from researching gus farace. Jerry Chilli is a captain in the Bonanno family. In 2008, Chilli and 6 others were indicted in New York on charges of racketeering, bookmaking, loansharking, drug trafficking, and tax fraud. In 2009, one of Chilli's soldiers (Thomas Fiore) and 10 others were indicted in Florida on charges of racketeering, check fraud, drug trafficking, transportation of stolen goods, loansharking, running high stakes card games, medicare fraud, forcing business owners to install mob-controlled vending machines, obstruction of justice, and murder.

The Gambinos rivaled the Genovese in many ways from the 1960's to the 1990's but never supplanted them as the top family in the country. And even during that time, the Genovese were considered richer, better diversified, and more sophisticated in terms of their influence in labor unions and legitimate industries. It was the Genovese who represented many of the east coast families on the Commission and had the strongest ties with other families around the country.
While Gambino had a lot of influence on the Commission, and could be considered the first among equals at his peak, there hasn't been a "boss of bosses" in the U.S. At least since Maranzano and before anyway. I agree with all of the above, especially when Tony Salerno was the boss!

It's almost certainly Vinny TV. Theirs rumors Michael Mancuso has been calling the shots from prison. I don't know how much merit there is to them. But I suspect Tony Rabito, Sammartino and maybe Joe C are running things while Vinny is in the can. He gets out this May. That's my point. He made a sweetheart plea deal that puts him on the street right away. He should be boss when he comes home.

I'm guessing its a joke but I guess I'm not catching on lol Inside joke! Ivy is the President of the Chin Gigante fan club and doesn't like to admit FT Tony Salerno was the boss!

It´s saturday night over here, so I have no time or any will to start another debate over what rank Salerno held within the Mafia. So I will be short. But most probably, (if we are to go by the evidence presented and known to us) Ivy is right. Salerno doesn´t seem to have been the Genovese boss at all. Gigante took control of that Family in the early 1980s, following Lombardo´s retirement.
