Agree, yet still simply question father Kennedy’s mostly “erroneous” ties to Mob bootlegging, it’s where most of his fortune finally came from, not to mention Mob associate help to help get JFK elected, which his AG brother always regretted and so went hard after the mafia.

I would say Vito Corleone was based at least some on Frank Costello. Corleone was known as a man who had a lot of friends in politics and had the raspy voice. Frank was the same way.Even their view on narcotics was the same.

@pac3198 Meyer lanksy he was a Jewish gangster who was associated with frank Costello and lucky Luciano. Arnold rothstein was another Jewish dude who dealt in gambling..he was known to be involved with the 1919 white Sox fix as well as being involved with the mob in the 1920s. He was eventually whacked in I believe 1928..Meyer on the other hand lived a long life and died naturally.

Frank wasn't a hitter. Sure could slap and abuse people who wouldn't resist and give the order to knock someone off but Frank has never been linked or known to any case in which he was squeezing the trigger. He had those guys around him to do that for him since he was more intelligent in terms of negotiating peace; hence his moniker, Prime Minister of The Mob.

He’s my favorite mobster ever! I used to visit a friend who Lived in The Majestic, Costello’s building. It’s interesting he was an Aquarius because he showed the impersonal and very rational, futuristic features that sign is known for. His stepping out of power gracefully, his refusal to ID his unsuccessful hit man in court are typically 😮 dispassionate Aquarius responses. Plus he was handsome and an understated yet dapper dresser. Very cool dude all around.

He's one of my favorites as well..my all time favorite mobster is lucky Luciano though.. but between lucky, frank, Meyer and buggsy they were all legends..insane what they were able to accomplish together lol

@ingridseim1379 24 дня назад

This seems a tiny nit to pick, but there is no federal police force in the US. Municipalities have police forces and counties have sheriff's deputies. Some states have police forces (California's was rolled into its Highway Patrol, which now provides security to the Governor in addition to writing traffic tickets 🤷🏻‍♂️). The federal government has investigators with powers of arrest (FBI), (ATT), but they usually assist local law enforcement in an advisory capacity in cases violating federal law or crimes committed in multiple states and leave the issue of detention to the enforcers with ties to the area.

As a result of criminalizing a desired substance, an exponential increase in criminality results. Alcohol was legalized which diverted profits to entrepreneurs, prevents poisonous alcohol on the market, and creates many legitimate jobs. Given the afore mentioned benefits of Legalization, why are other substances still criminalized?

About Kennedy Sr. I read in a book that many Gangsters didn't like him because when he was bringing people and liquor and the cost guard would go after them he would throw the people to the Sea and many people died that way. This is why the family had bad luck. No one speaks of this truth... Horrible 😢

CI watched every episode of the sopranos and boardwalk. It taught me one thing you may be on top for years but eventually you will be brought down. There were very few bosses that that died from natural causes. Costello was a shrewed, wise gangster who knew when to fold his hand like a gambler.

@oswaldoreyes9066 16 дней назад

I have studied organized crime for many years. I have a private library at home on books written about every crime figure. Costello was one of the most powerful and intelligent mob bosses. He knew exactly what he wanted and accomplished it. He retired a very wealthy man and lived till his 80s gracefully. Not many mob bosses have accomplished what he accomplished.

What else are people supposed to do when left in poverty ? I respect these guys to be honest . Many left their homeland with nothing and often through choices of their parents and went right to the upper echelons of America and not that different in their methods to the "good guys" that came from wealthy families and the jobs were already lined up for them . Costello was a warrior in my opinion , not perfect but a strong man indeed.

The fun fact is that bad things happened to all the people who did him harm: Vito Genovese, the one who ordered the hit on him ended up dying in prison Vincente Gigante, the one who carried out the assassination attempt, ended up dying in jail Carmine Gallante, the one who blew up the doors of his tomb ended being assassinated in the way. In the end, Frank Costello lived a peaceful life after the mob and died peacefully.

I would love to see you guys do an episode on King Charles II of Spain. It seems as though all anyone ever talks about when it comes to him and his rule is how inbred he was. I really want to known how he ruled and what happened in Spain during his rule. Did he actually make any decisions or was it more like people around him making the choices of what got done and he was told what to sign off on. There's got to be more to him than just his genetic limitations.

Frank was very, Shrewd, cautious, and careful, but ambitious.He was very charming, always respectful, & good natured. With allot of common sense that served him well..But you felt the power energy, that drove him, and made him probably the most successful business man of any “mobster”, from that period to today. Nice they thought of him to make this. But it’s missing some zip, and didn’t really convey some of the businesses, clubs he was involved with, here in New York, and the “frontmen” he used to run them..or maybe I nodded off, & missed it..But I sure miss the Real New York, of the 40’s & 50’s, and the real New Yorkers. There are very few New Yorkers left, who would’ve given the shirt off their back to help anyone. We’ve been inundated by Non New Yorkers, who with their cold “yuppy” ways give NY a bad Reputation..Viva Old New York..Viva Frank..
