You are one of them but how
That moment when your high school teacher is the nephew of #6 on this list. My Algebra teacher only met his uncle once in his life when he was just two-years-old and would tell us how the police would wiretap his phones and couldn't order food using his last name while on friend trips because of his heritage. The day Whitey was captured was my high school graduation. Very awkward. The movie a Black Mass was eerily accurate, especially the Christmas party scene when a friend mentions the fact that one of Whitey's two bothers has nine kids. My blood went cold because that was my teacher's family being mentioned.
Where's Bernie Maddoff? He Maddoff with a lot of money
This top 10 is racist. They didn't include black people
Where's h.h. Holmes
Frank Lucas should've easily made this list.
What about Ted Bundy?
NUMBER 11#
Hillary Clinton
Where Luis "El Chapo" Guzman
You forgot Crooked Hillary and cuck Obama.
where's el chapo
Personally, how about Henry Kissinger?
PABLO SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO.1
loooove her voice!!! lol
Why wasn't elchapo on this list
THUMBS DOWN!
Hillary Clinton isn't on the list.
Was wondering where Rupert Murdoch would be on the list. Oh well
Damn you WatchMojo you just spoiled the ending of Narcos in your number two pick 7:28
Charles Lucky Luciano was the one who put "organized" into organized crime, not Al Capone.
Im surprised Griselda Blanco didnt make this list, why not?
Hmm… I love you Watchmojo, but I'm not sure if I agree with some of this. Where is Frank Abignale Jr?
He was a criminal, one of the youngest con-men ever, (and one of the most successful) and he did the unthinkable. he actually turned his life around.
Pablo Escobar was without a doubt more successful than al Capone
Isabella esco she was my aunt she was first drug lord from Columbia we chance our name to Escobar. We are banded going back to Columbia they call us the Jackals
oh what a fucking suprise most of these are americunts and not from any other country and where the fuck are the krays you know the people that ran london in the 60 but of cause u dont u retarded americunts
This list has several faults. Al Capone didnt put organised in organised crime. Johnny Torrio his mentor was far mor influencial in that regard. No Luciano? No five famillis? Really. Sad only gnagsters that have had theire face on the big screen i suppose. Billy the Kid? Not famus enough? No Joe the batter Riccardo? Shit list. Bonnie and Clyde? No, you never heard of them?
Just a fun fact but did you know that Al Capone was put into Al Catraz and after a while was put into a mental hospital because he had a mental disease that effected him so much that they just let him go because he posed no threat anymore, they even determined that he had the mental capacity of a twelve year old and even sometimes fished in his pool. Pretty sad way to die in my opinion, not even smart enough to realize he wasn't catching any thing by fishing in his pool.
aren't they forgetting about denial logo and sun gym gand who were responsible for getting away with torture, murder & especially extortion.
now they definitely count more than any criminal's that's on this list.
no black people?
The man who put "organized in organized crime" was not Al Capone, it was Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, get your facts straight before feeding people bullshit.
Where is El Chapo
I mean, Come On
Frank Lucas
I'm assuming Charles Manson is on the list.
Soooo… where's Jack the Ripper?
disagree with the order. PABLO ESCOBAR NEEDS TO BE NUMBER 1
WHO EVER WROTE THIS HAS ALL THE FACTS WRONG. PABLO SHOULD BE ONE. THEY FORGOT EL CHAPO. THEY FORGOT RICK ROSS, THEY FORGOT JOHN GOTTI, THEY FORGOT GRISELDA BLANCO, FRANK LUCAS COOOOOMMMMEEEEE OOOONNNNNN
Bonnie and Clyde?
What about John Wayne
Pablo: "We have too much money, we need to hide them anywhere, this is how Al Capone did.
Gustavo: Al Capone didn't have so much money you fool!
What about Charlie Luciano??
Y didnt they add el chapo
Easy now, it's still early in the Trump presidency.
Hmm I think you're forgetting someone.
no jimmy saville?
#1. Hillary clinton
In my opinion which admittedly is flawed, I don't believe Jesse James and John Dillinger are in the same class as many of the career criminals that could have been on the list. Lucky Luciano, Carlo Gambino, Vito Genovesi, Albert Anastasia, John Gotti, Bugsey Segal, just to name a few. Maybe I missed what your using as a measuring stick.
where is dick cheney?
Where are the Kray twins in this. Or Charlie Richardson
This list is garbage, tailored to match up with recent movies. Mickey Cohen? Most people have no idea who he is. Jesse James? He's not nearly as famous as Billy the Kid. John Dillinger? Find me ten people who know this guy. Where's Lucky Luciano? Charles Manson? Ted Bundy? Jeffrey Dahmer? Bernie Madoff? Bugsy Siegel? Meyer Lansky?
what about bonnie and clyde?
