Most Successful Capos

[Pogo The Clown]

Pogo what do u think abt toddo marino?

I don't know much about him.

Aniello Migliore made a fuck tonne and rode off into the sunset a free man and out of the life.

He is another one who rose to the administration.

Vincent Solano was a Chicago capo for 16 years. Never convicted, died in his 70s.

I'm hesitant to put Joseph Ferriola here as he died relatively young (61) and was less than a year away from a major indictment. Still, he made a ton of money as a capo and had a huge crew.

Peter DeFeo: came up under Lucky Luciano and Mike Miranda. Very wealthy. Had a trucking company, and influence on Manhattan’s Banana pier, and carpenters union. Not sure he ever faced any major cases.

Richie the Boot a good choice.

Tommy Gambino? Super wealthy. Didn’t do too much prison time.

Pffft. Panel dont count.

So technically Nicky corrozo would be one to mention as it was only rumored he was boss

[SonnyBlackstein]

Genovese in the 80's had powerhouse guys who'd never served: Gerardo, Canterino, Allie Shades, Buster Ardito, Gatto in Jersey.

Shades appears retired and only did a few years in the 90's. Not a bad run. Ardito never did time IIRC. Crazy.

He was on the panel under Gotti jr in the 90s.

There’s many actually… Jimmy brown, Paul Vario.. Tony Accetturo or you mean by doing no prison time?

Vario was acting underboss for a while, IIRC.

I think capo from early 40s to 79, had tommy lombardi joe shep allie shades and a bunch of other future powers in his crew, made big money, had tough guys if needed, highly respected, did about maybe 1 or 2 years max. died at age 81

What about Abbatemarco (Colombo), Frank Salerno, and Dominick Scialo?

Sammy’s mentor, Toddo Aurello
Sal Avellino, though he’s no longer a capo and he also was on the Ruling Panel

I think that the OP only wanted NY captains, but if we’re talking Chicago, I’d put Ross Prio and Fifi Buccieri too.

He was also Acting UnderBoss or Acting Consigliere in 1986.

Chicago capo seemed to be more stable
Probably bc there weren’t as many
