About this episode
I hear all the time that the Mafia is dead in America. While they are surely weakened there are still many men in the Mob that are dug in and still very powerful and all have the same core principles and ethics. Men like Bruno Indelicato, Lenny DiMaria, Joel Cacace and Gene Gotti. Today I delve into the top 15 most powerful mobsters in NY today, excluding bosses.
