This aggregated ranking of 20 notorious gangsters, drawn from sources like History.com and FBI archives, prioritises historical impact, with 10 American figures dominating amid global representation from Colombia, Mexico, Italy, India, and Russia.

Semion Mogilevich's #13 spot stands out for his elusive status as the FBI's top cybercrime target, linked to $10 billion in fraud schemes, contrasting the violent street empires of peers like Al Capone.

User replies debate inclusions like Dawood Ibrahim while proposing omissions such as Vincent Gigante, revealing the list's entertainment appeal in fuelling discussions on organised crime myths versus realities.

Add Trump to that list. He is terrorizing and bullying countries and different head of states.

As an adult, Meyer Lansky wasn’t directly involved in typical gangster activities. He focused mostly on business as the mob’s money man, and although he worked closely with the Italian Mafia, he was never a formal member since he was Jewish.
I also think that Chicago Outfit boss in the 1950s, Sam Giancana, should be on that list. He is rumored to have played a role in putting Kennedy on a hit list, and he was also said to be instrumental in Kennedy’s victory at the polls
