    *(Joe Pesci as Nicky Santoro, from the movie Casino.):* _"There's a lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole ready before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to 45 minutes worth of digging. And who knows who is gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fawkin' night."_

Goodfellas about low life street thugs not even part of mafia whereas godfather is about pure mafia boss and how business is done on high level as in real life you dnt take the hit if u r the boss coz u have associates who does it for u so yea god father pretty accurate too if watch it from the framework

    My city (Pueblo, CO) was a huge but very unknown center of the American Mafia. It was useful because of its centralized location in the country and access to freight railroads and interstate highways- tons of smuggled booze, drugs, and other illicit goods passed through town, and a scary large proportion of people living here were in with the mob from 1920 through about 2000. But almost nobody heard about it outside of Colorado.

I know some of yall are gonna say "why is she still dating him for that long?". When she tries to leave during those years, he always calls someone to go find her. He also cheated on her and now my mom has 9 or 10 siblings. When my grandmother heard that he killed two people she decided to take my mom and move to the country and this time, he was fine with that. My mom hasn't talked to her dad for over 16 years because when he heard that she's pregnant, he was LIVID and she was over 21 when she had me sooo idk what's the fucking problem 💀. My mom decided to to stop talking to him. Soo yeah.. we dont know if the nigga is dead or not lol.

      The feds were after him because he was the most visible gangster of his time. There were many much deadlier gangsters. Richard Kuklinski, Tommy DeSimone, Crazy Joe Gallo (or anyone from Murder Inc), and especially Giovanni Brusca are deadlier. Lucky Luciano was in power at the same time as Capone and undoubtedly had way more influence over all organized crime in America than Capone could dream of

  • @daleferris2253
    @daleferris2253 4 года назад +3

    Salvatore did not start “the commission” he did in fact set up the 5 families in order to become the “boss of bosses” but “lucky Luciano” was the one who actually set up the commission because lucky didn’t like the idea of there being a boss of bosses hence why lucky killed Salvatore. The commission also had the Chicago family as a seat member. Correct me if am wrong but that’s the facts I have learned about the system
