Get to know your Gangster Started by: WestCoastPlaya on Aug 28, '09 03:05

As we often use real names La Cosa Nostra Members I thought it would be informative and fun if we did some research. Post one of the Mafioso names you have used, or seen used by other payers and some information about that gangster.

Like this Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano (born March 12, 1945) was a high ranking member of the Gambino crime family. He is most known as the man who helped bring down family boss John Gotti by becoming a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant.

Originally a thug for the Colombo crime family, and later for the Brooklyn faction of the Gambinos, he was part of a conspiracy within the family to murder Gambino boss Paul Castellano. Gravano played a key role in planning and executing Castellano's murder; other conspirators included John Gotti, Angelo Ruggiero, Frank DeCicco and Joseph Armone. The conspiracy would elevate Gravano's position in the family to underboss under Gotti, a position he held at the time he turned informer. At the time, he was the highest-ranking member of organized crime ever to turn informer. His testimony drew a wave of La Cosa Nostra members to become informants.

Sort of a bio if you will Have fun

Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (January 17, 1899 - January 25, 1947) was an American gangster who led a crime syndicate dedicated to smuggling and bootlegging of liquor and other illegal activities during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s and 1930s.

Born in Brooklyn to Southwestern Italian immigrants Gabriele and Teresina Capone, Capone began his career in Brooklyn before moving to Chicago and becoming the boss of the criminal organization known as the Chicago Outfit - though his business card reportedly described him as a used furniture dealer.[1]

Although he was never successfully convicted of racketeering charges, Capone's criminal career ended in 1931, when he was indicted and convicted by the federal government for income-tax evasion.

Charles "Lucky" Luciano (born Salvatore Lucania; November 24, 1897 - January 26, 1962) was a Sicilian-born American mobster. Luciano is considered the father of modern organized crime and the mastermind of the massive postwar expansion of the international heroin trade. He was the first official boss of the modern Genovese crime family.

Salvatore Lucania was born to Antonio and Rosalia (Cafarella) Lucania, he had 4 siblings Bartolomeo (born 1890), and Giuseppe (born 1898), Filippia (born 1901), and Concetta (born 1903) in Lercara Friddi, Sicily, a town primarily known for its sulfur mines. The promise of a better life led his family to emigrate to the United States in 1907. Upon arriving at Ellis Island, young Salvatore was diagnosed with smallpox, an affliction that pockmarked his face for life.

Upon arrival in New York City, Luciano's parents settled in a Jewish neighborhood on the Lower East Side. They lived at 265 E. 10th Street in what is now the Manhattan East Village. Here, Luciano set up his first operation: he shook down young Jewish children on their way to school. This was where he allegedly met Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siege
