Majority of them are Americans and I don't give a damn about American actors. So I don't even know them.
Who dey talk about actors? THESE PEOPLE WERE REAL!

Just that actors try to recreate who they were in movies of today.

Gambino was brutal, Frank Lucas too but it beats me why Elsworth Johnson is never listed among "baddest" gangsters
Ellsworth aka Bumpy Johnson. That is a real baddest gangster. Frank Lucas learn from Bumpy

These are gangsters known to America. Osama was able to bring down the world trade centre but is not considered A GANGSTER by America.

Sometimes it is better to assume silence so everyone will think your silence is as a result of wisdom than to open mouth and show uncurable emptiness.

Answer the question.
Nobody said crime. Gangster! Organized crime!
Billy the kid, Oyenusi, Anini, were all famous but they were not organized crime!

You need to read about Meyer lansky and why he's number 5. Dude was a genius

Exactly!


Infact Bonnie n Clyde inspired most of these gangsters of 20s to 40s ..inspired so many crime fiction novels too. Their ruthlessness was unrivalled even though Bonnie looked quite plain,harmless and with an elaborate limp
Actually gangster can also mean any criminal but OP here means organized crime

My favourite all-time American head of FBI.

J. Edgar Hoover building. Went there in '95.
Yes.. Hoover convinced the then POTUS on the need to elevate the bureau of investigation to federal status...and guess what .. he used the case of the highly elusive Dillinger to drive the point and get his request...He became national sensation when his boys knocked Dillinger off in the carefully orchestrated ambush. Infact Hoover became Hoover because of Dillinger..and FBI was born because of Dillinger...

So you don't care about the ones who aren't from USA too? 🤔
Actually Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese are also Americans with Crime Families that bear their names in New York to this day!

Al Capone has an inspirational story.

Not more than Lucky Luciano who founded The Commission. See below.
Also, Myers Lansky was not Italian. He was a Jew

"Charlie Lucky" was one of my "favs" as a kid.

I always assumed Vito Genovese was the original boss of the Genovese "family" but turns out Charlie Lucky was the original boss of that family
He was the original boss of all Bosses

The only woman on the list, Griselda blanco Aka the black widow killed over 40 people and ordered the assassination of many.she even Killed her first two husbands in cold blood in front of business associates. Infact that was the only person pablo Escobar feared. The only person that crossed her but lived to tell the tale was a young black kid from the ghetto Charles Cosby whom she was older than by over 20yrs .she was screwing the kid while in prison after spies caught him multiple times cheating on her, assassins only gave warning shots but she didn't order his death.Tho the guy got filthy rich through her narcotics business influence and money.She was still f**king powerful even in prison. She's as tough as they come imo just

Italian Americans are always the ones ...mostly with the mobster thing way back ..from Alpacino to the rest.....I don't think John dillinger is of Italian heritage ....that is why I love mafia films a lot

Where is Dutch Schultz? He died so young, he would have been greater than Al Capone.
Re: Who Among These Makes Your Top 10 Notorious Gangsters Of All Time? (photo) by Pentagon007: 7:33pm On Feb 26
For me it is
Lucky Luchiano
Frank Costello
Frank Lucas
John Dillinger
