Biggest Gangsters of All Time

The Top Ten

1 Al Capone

This guy was literary the mayor of Chicago because he had complete control over a majority of the cops, the mayor, and scared/ massacred all of the other gangsters. He was so good at getting away with things he got caught for tax evasion not the dozens of murders he committed. He was the person who inspired Scarface. But still the truth is he was just a sick human being.

"Scareface" has no peer in Gangsterisum. With apologies to all the others mentioned, HE is the standard by which all related Movies, Themes and "Thugs" aspire to be. His Legendary status gets a 'tweek' in terms of enhancement thanks to The Emmy Award Winning HBO Series, "BOARDWALK EMPIRE. " We are treated to "THE BIG-DOG" of The Gangsters' evolution as a "young pup" in crime... THE STUFF OF LEGENDS!

he led to high inflation in the us due to him draining banks

2 Charlie Lucky Luciano

I can not put in words how bigger Luciano was compared to Capone. He did much more to shape the Mafia than Capone did. Capone was most famous for the St. Valentines Day Massacre, in which he got the wrong guy and which ultimately forced the Feds to go after him sending him to jail. Also Morello should be in this, either 2 or 3.

He was the Boss of all Bosses and had what you call a Team (Gangsters) and everyone played their part flawlessly.

Boss of all Bosses and formed the Commission. One does forget he was even the Boss of Al Capone.

Luciano put the organized in organized crime.

3 Carlo Gambino

he was alawys in control, and died sleeping in his own bed. $500,000,000 a year to the Gambino Family and Capo Di Tutti Capi (boss of all bosses) what more could you ask for!

The power and influence this man had was incredible. When he was boss nobody got away with anything. He took control of a small crime family and turned it into the biggest, richest and most powerful Mafia family in the US.

Name is still around till this day

13 James "Whitey" Bulger

This guy ran Boston's criminal underworld for years, and wasn't caught until he was 83. He even struck a deal with the FBI to ignore his crimes in exchange for information on the Italian Mob. He had everyone- the mobs, the FBI- under his thumb for years. Truly an icon of Irish mobs.
