I mean, he died pretty young and I don't think he was capo for a significant period of time (5-10 years?)
TBH the most successful one is probably one we've never heard of...

How much power do you think he would've had with consecutive life sentences?

Title of the thread is most successful, not most powerful.

I wonder if his clout/wealth made him appear as one of those soldiers that carries a higher level of respect and/or is direct with the administration. Apart from google searches, do you have any gov't docs that show he was a capo/captain? I have also seen him named as a captain online but haven't come across any evidence that unequivocally labels him as a captain.

Died in prison facing multiple murder charges with a likely conviction after his nephew rolled. Not my definition of success.

Was he ever confirmed to be a capo? Didn’t it come out he wasn’t made until many years later than had been previously thought.
Not sure you info, haven't heard before. But Anthony Palumbo took over his crew IIRC. That would make Jimmy a Capo. A quick Google has multiple articles about Jimmy with the title Caporegime. FWIW.

Would argue Ronnie G for a more modern capo. Guy was doing pretty well with his crew considering all the old fashioned mob shit they where doing. Millions in drug deals and gambling rings

I know Gene Borrello isn’t a reliable source but in his book he claims the amount of drug dealers, bookies and loan sharks paying up was well over 100 people. Claiming that there weren’t that many crews in NY nowadays doing it that big
