Who are some famous mafia people?

Asked by Wiki User

Well theres Al Capone who said while he on the virge of going to jail he find the kidnapper in the case of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping son of famous aviator Charles Lindbergh he said that in exchange for a clean record police quickly denied.There are 5 powerful families Mafia families in the New York area:

Gambino, Genovese, Colombo, Bananno, and Luchese. These names come from Joe Valachi. He was a low ranking soldier who was the first man to break the omerta, or code of silence. The family names come from him, because he testified as to who the bosses were of the 5 families at the time of his arrest in 1959. The only difference is the Colombo family. It was under the control of Joe Profaci in 1959, but Joe Colombo became famous in the 1960s and therefore, his name has been used to identify the family since then.

GAMBINO: Boss of the Gambino family was Salvatore D'Aquila. He was boss of the Bosses until he was murdered Oct. 1928 in Brooklyn, NY. He was succeeded by Frank Scalise, who was in control until 1931. Vincent Mangano represent stability for the family as he was in control from 1931 - 1951. Albert Anastasia took over in 1951 and ruled until his murder in a barbershop in 1957. He formed Murder, Inc., the group that killed an estimated 400 people in his time as boss of the family. Anastasia's sanity began to be questioned by other members of the family. This led to his murder by the Gallo bros., Larry and Joe, in the hotel babershop. Carlo Gambino took over in 1957 and ruled until 1976. He is generally known as the best boss of the family. He tried to keep a low profile. Carlo Gambino turned the family into the most profitable one in the city. Gambino never served a day of jailtime in his life. When Carlo was on his deathbed in 1976, he chose Paul Castellano to succeed him. Castellano was Carlo's cousin, and brother-in-law, so Carlo thought it was a good choice to let Paul take over. This move upset Aniello "Neil" Dellacroce, who had been family underboss since 1965. Dellacroce thought he would be taking over the family, but he obeyed Gambino's wishes and was rewarded by Castellano by remainiing in the number two spot in the family. Paul Castellano was regarded as more of a businessman than a gangster. He lived in his mansion on Todt Hill on Staten Island, where he rarely ventured out. The soldiers and family began to resent this. They felt that Castellano was losing touch with them. In 1985 Paul Castellano and his bodyguard, Tommy Bilotti were assassinated in front of Sparks Steak House in NYC in a move that was orchestrated by Gambino capo John Gotti. Gotti's mentor, Dellacroce, had died 2 weeks before the assassination. Gotti had waited for Dellacroce to die so he could take out Castellano. Gotti then took control of the family and was known as the "teflon don" for his acquital in 3 separate trials in the late 80s. In 1991, the feds indicted John Gotti, along with underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano and consigliere Frank "Frankie Loc" Locascio on racketeering and murder conspirary charges. In a shocking move, Gravano turned state's witness and testified against his boss. Gravano was sentenced to 20 years in prison for 19 murders and he served less than 5.

In 1992, Gotti was convicted on murder and racketeering charges, and is serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Marion, Il. His son, John Gotti Jr., is currently the acting b oss of the Gambino family. The elder Gotti would like for his son to remain as boss, but the national commission of the LCN will not allow it because John Jr., is known to have a quick temper and not as strong a leader as his father. Gambino capo Nicholas "Little Nick" Corozzo was chosen by the commission to take over for Gotti after 1 last chance for legal appeals. The appeals failed, but Corozzo was then indicted on racketeering charges while in Florida, and he is currently incarcerated in NYC along with fellow Gambino capo Leonard DiMaria. The Gambinos were the strongest family in the city only 7 or 8 years ago, but now they are at a key time that will determine how far they go in the future.

What is a mafia member called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

in the mafia wars game, your mafia members are your family, call them what you like

each person has their own character name which you could use

in general discussion you can just say 'family member'

e.g. you helped a family member do a job

if you mean the ranked positions, your 'top maifa', then you have

mastermind, wheelman, button-man, bodyguard, safe cracker, and bag man

recruiting a member of your family into these positions gives you bonuses and also gives bonuses to the person you promote

How do you arrange your top mafia in Mafia Wars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can hide your top mafia members by not having a top mafia, and Mafia Wars itself also has problems with peoples' top mafia even showing up. ~

It does that by either you not having anyone in your top mafia, or Zynga has a glitch in the system.

How much defense do you need in Mafia Wars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As of today, 12 Jul 2009, both attack and defense are added together to calculate your combat rating. So at this point it does not matter what your defense is, but it DOES matter what your COMBINED total is.

That said, the recommended number for BOTH Attack and Defense is approx 2X your level. So until the combat formula is changed, you should be in good shape as long as Attack+Defense=4*Level.

Hope that helps.

One of the other posts I read said you get it as loot from the Mexican Cartel job in the boss tier. I don't know if this is true though - I did all of the Mexican Cartel job a while back and still have a highlighted private jet (airline pilot image) on the Travel to the Old Country job (I can't remember anymore what loot I did get from the Cartel job). Sorry, I don't know if this answer will be useful. But when I figure it out I'll come back and post about it!

When can you rob or heists in Mafia Wars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Heists were renamed as Robberies after a legal battle between Mafia Wars and Mob Wars. The way to do one before they were disabled was from a player's profile page. Where the options appear "attack", "sucker punch" etc, there was an option "rob" which brought up a list of the player's properties and how well defended they were.

It has not been announced when Robbery will be reintroduced. Possibly with or after the Bangkok update around Christmas.

How do you get reward points in Mafia Wars?

Asked by Wiki User

  • You get a free rp for each two levels you gain.
  • You can buy mafia wars reward points.
  • You can occasionally get free rp from:
  1. Free slot spins daily (and bonus wheel)
  2. Gold treasure chests (free key through daily take)
  3. Mystery (&red) bags
  4. Email bonuses
  5. Official zynga wall links
  6. Secret drops

Exploits are rarely publicized and are completely against zynga terms. Even if you find an exploit (that doesnt give you a virus, via suspicious links), zynga may ban you.

If you have any updates on this answer please message a supervisor and they can open the topic once again for you. this will be the core answer, to save vandalism with spam links.
