  • Vito Genovese, whose surname denotes one of the most powerful Mafia families in New York, was one of the most unprincipled representatives of the Cosa Nostra in its history.
    At first, Vito was on Luciano's side when he betrayed Masseria. Then he escaped to Italy from the U.S. authorities and managed to gain the trust of Mussolini, who persecuted the Mafia, and when El Duce himself was exiled from the Apennines, Genovese defected to the Americans. When he returned to the states after World War II, he cleared his way and became a boss of the family. And he didn't mind the murders of anyone who got in his way.
    Genovese is the epitome of what Cosa Nostra really was. The embodiment of its real principles, which are far from the concept of honor. They represent only an unquenchable thirst for power and a never-ending desire to make as much money as possible, which no moral principles can stop.
    Please welcome, Vito Genovese, on the other side of the law.

    Let’s keep it real, this is/was the Luciano Family. Lucky built it, Costello maintained and expanded it, Vito strong armed and took it over, got approval from Gambino on his power play. The price was giving up some power and territory over to Gambino!! Then the Apalachin and further loss of power and territory!! That’s how Carlo became the Boss of Bosses!!

      I wouldn't say Don Carlo was overrated, however smart enough to capitalize off Charlie Luciano deportation and using Vito Genovese ego to expand his own family.

      Kinda sort of, when Lucky held the Havana conference Genovese snitch on Lucky and was re-deported bac to Italy. If Lucky would have remained in Cuba there's no Genovese would have become boss.

    From David A. Wood: In a relentlessly loathsome milieu heavily populated by remorselessly amoral gangsters (Luciano, Anastasia, Masseria, Maranzano, Profaci, etc.), American Mafia gangster Vito Genovese ruthlessly stood out heads-and-tails above his criminal peers in terms of both his twin penchants for homicidal behavior and cunning sociopathy. Between the years 1945-1957, Genovese repeatedly proved this unappealing fact as he alternately murdered and schemed his way to the top of New York City's organized criminal underworld and, by logical extension, to the top of the USA's organized criminal underworld by becoming the Mob Boss of what was then New York City's strongest American Mafia Family out of the reputed five "Mafia Families" that were/are tyrannically situated within "The Big Apple." That is, Genovese's American Mafia Family happened to have been the strongest before 1959. Anyway, once Genovese murderously and cunningly reached the uppermost position by becoming the leader of what would be known in the future as the Genovese Family in 1957, he just as quickly and disastrously fell from the desirable position of Grace. Genovese unintentionally did this by first having his unofficial coronation/American Mafia conference legally interrupted by the intrusiveness of the New York State Police when they unexpectedly arrived on the Apalachin, New York-located property of reputed Buffalo Mafia Family "Captain" Joseph Barbara. Then, came the proverbial final straw, as in the 1959 arrest of Genovese and many fellow conspirators, mostly from within his Mob Family for Industrial Scale Narcotics Trafficking.This was an arrest that definitely put an inglorious end to Vito Genovese's notorious, yet august criminal career and his legally engineered downfall came courtesy of diligent Federal Agents working for the Bureau of Narcotics, the forerunner of the contemporary Drugs Enforcement Agency (DEA). In the end, it just goes to show you that no matter how much a professional criminal alternately murders and schemes his/her way to the top of his/her profession in the most seemingly strategic manner, he and/or she will ultimately never win because while "Johnny Law" can embarrassingly make mistake after mistake and still ultimately triumph at the proverbial end of the day, the seemingly intelligent, professional criminal can merely make one seemingly innocuous mistake and still disastrously lose everything! That is, his/her status, money, property, and worst of all, his/her blessed freedom. This text's moral is that Time and Time again, the Criminal Way of Life really does not pay you anything worthwhile in the end! Thank You all very much for Your Time and have Yourselves a Nice Day (Monday, July 3, 2023).

      One thing u have seem to have left out my friend. Vito's quest for power was short lived because it also made him stupid, Lansky, Gambino, Luciano and and and couple of nobody's set him up on a failed drug by of all things that sent him away to federal prison to live out his life behind bars. So even though Luciano wasn't in America a free man when was released, he didn't die behind bars.

    Stop the bs. Vito ratted Lucky out. Set him and sent him away. Vito was treacherous. He was afraid of his own shadow. Joe Valechi was loyal until Vito ordered him killed in prison because of his paranoia. How can you be a boss and also a rat. He was the first not Joe Messina.

      Lucky had some guys kick Vito's ass for trying to go behind his back. Anastasia wanted to take Vito out to begin with, Lucky talked him out it, which is why Vito snitched on him.
