Riina was illiterate but it sounded like he was smart to a point if he was able to pull off a coup right from underneath some of the most powerful organized crime families in the world at the time. We mentioned Badalamenti and Bontade, who else were some big earners during this time? Denaro is a billionaire but at this time he was not the boss.
inzerillo, totò minore, the salvo brothers, were all big earners too
I have never heard of Minore. Were the Salvo brothers actually members of the mafia? I thought they were politicians and businessmen who just had a lot of connections to the underworld. I read online that Bontade had around 10 billion lire in cash. Not positive how accurate that is. That’s around $5 million.
