Lucky Luciano revolutionized the Mafia by establishing The Commission, a governing body for crime families. Vito Genovese, known for his ruthless ambition, took control of the family now bearing his name and orchestrated key power plays. Frank Costello, the “Prime Minister of the Mob,” was a diplomatic and politically connected boss who survived assassination attempts. Finally, John Gotti, the “Teflon Don,” gained notoriety for his flashy style and ability to evade conviction for years before his eventual downfall.

I'M WATCHING FROM BRISBANE QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
You missed Joe Bonanno as a boss
This narrator is top tier! 💯
Very well done, it moved along quickly and was very interesting. Seems like Lucky was either on top of the world or at the bottom, although not for long. He never gave up his life of crime and left his mark on history. His name is one of the most notable in organized crime of the 20th century.

Yo, this doc on the Mafia is wild! 🤯 Straight up fascinating to see how these guys ran things back in the day. Mad respect for the research in this video.
Anyone else think that one boss was low-key a genius with his schemes? Or was it just pure brutality that got them to the top? Lmk your thoughts! Defo got me thinking 'bout power dynamics and loyalty.
The United States is getting rid of immigrants because they say their criminals. I guess folks have no idea what their ancestors did for a living when they got here as immigrants!!! I guess they’ve never seen The Godfather, I love, love that movie. I watch it every time it comes on❤
So many of these videos start the same way… “the man known as … “ makes me wonder about who/what writes the scripts…
Yall should cover Joe the boss masseria
