They weren’t cunning or geniuses. A bunch of idiots with codes they never really adhered to who beat their wives and the only way they avoided news jail time was by paying off cops. Once Elliot ness and them started actually giving a fukk they had those idiots ducking and crawling underground terrified.


Anybody that acts like lucky Luciano or any of these cacs was a mastermind or fukking savvy is an idiot just like them. Even in the goodfellas and casino and shyt they were glorified when the truth is they were just drunk morons.

That first wave of American mafioso were pretty impressive Luciano, Capone, Lansky, But after them the mobsers were just coasting off the system that those guys put in place nothing innovative.

I mean... no criminal organization that you know about is that amazing if you know about them.

If anything, outright mafia and organized crime just show how easy it is to loophole the American legal system. None of those crooks are geniuses, they just know that money keeps shyt movin :yeshrug:

They're idolized by hip-hop, which is sad to me.

Also, America in general loves non-black lawbreakers.
The Italian mafia, and the era of Jessie James, The Sundance Kid, the supposed old west.

All these ppl were murderers and criminals, but they get romanticized

Like any criminal organization you had had a few smart people at the top and alot of dummies.

I say lucky and Mayer were smart. Also carlo Gambino only because for being high profile and known they didn't die in jail and lived to be old men. Takes smarts and cunning to pull that off.

Eastside of that Motor
They took advantage of their time that’s it. They could get away with spraying a whole block with a tommy gun in broad day light with no consequences of cameras, dna, etc. And like you said if they did get caught they could just pay off the cops. They weren’t smart just ruthless.

The only smart thing they did do is that they got in on municipal extortion by getting their hands on the real money like the utility industries like water, garbage, sewage and things like that.
