Did Richard Kuklinski really kill 250 people? Did he have a part in the most famous hits of all time?

Richard Leonard Kuklinski, also known as The Iceman, was an American criminal and convicted murderer. Kuklinski was engaged in criminal activities for most of his adult life; he ran a burglary ring and distributed pirated pornography. He committed at least five murders between 1980 and 1984. Prosecutors described him as someone who killed for profit. Kuklinski lived with his wife and children in the New Jersey suburb of Dumont. They knew him as a loving father and husband but one who also had a violent temper. They stated that they were unaware of his crimes. He was given the moniker Iceman by authorities after they discovered that he had frozen the body of one of his victims in an attempt to disguise the time of death. Kulinski's modus operandi was to lure men to clandestine meetings with the promise of lucrative business deals, then kill them and steal their money. He also killed two associates to prevent them from becoming informants. Eventually, Kuklinski came to the attention of law enforcement when an investigation into his burglary gang linked him to several murders, as he was the last person to have seen five missing men alive. An eighteen-month-long undercover operation led to his arrest in December 1986. In 1988, he was convicted of four murders and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 2003, he received an additional 30-year sentence after confessing to the murder of a police officer. After his murder convictions, Kuklinski gave interviews to writers, prosecutors, criminologists, and psychiatrists. He claimed to have murdered anywhere from 100 to 200 men, often in gruesome fashion. None of these additional murders have been corroborated. Kuklinski also claimed to have worked as a hitman for the Mafia. He said he participated in several famous Mafia killings, including the disappearance and presumed murder of Teamsters' president Jimmy Hoffa. Law enforcement and organized crime experts have expressed skepticism about Kuklinski's claimed Mafia ties. He was the subject of three HBO documentaries aired in 1992, 2001 and 2003; several biographies, and a 2012 feature film The Iceman, starring Michael Shannon and Winona Ryder.

”Machine” Gun Kelly probably NEVER said ”Don’t shoot, G-Men!”, and he wasn’t all that he seemed

Machine Gun Kelly was a bootlegger, small-time bank robber and kidnapper who ranged through Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s. Beginning his criminal career as a bootlegger, he was caught in 1927 and subsequently spent a few months in jail, where he met bank robbers. In 1930, he married Kathryn Thorne. They, along with others, robbed banks in many states, and kidnapped a wealthy oil tycoon and held him for ransom. For that crime, Kelly was arrested and sentenced to life in prison in 1933. He died in 1954.

Nicolo Rizzuto - How his whole family was killed in his rise to the top of the Canadian Mafia

Nicolo Rizzuto was an Italian-Canadian crime boss and founder of the Rizzuto crime family, the Sicilian Mafia organization based in Montreal, Quebec. Rizzuto was born in Cattolica Eraclea, Sicily, Italy, in 1924, and immigrated to Montreal in 1954 with his wife, son and daughter. He married into the mob through his wife Libertina Manno's family, beginning as an associate in the Sicilian faction of the Calabrian Cotroni crime family, which had most of the control in Montreal. In the late 1970s, a mob war broke out between the Sicilian and Calabrian factions, which resulted in the deaths of Paolo Violi, the acting capo of the Cotroni family, and his brothers. Although Rizzuto was not charged with any of these murders, he was linked to them as the events allowed the Rizzuto family to emerge as the preeminent crime family in Montreal by the early 1980s. Rizzuto was incarcerated twice, once in 1988 on drug charges where he served five years in a Venezuelan prison, and the other in 2006 where he served two years in jail of a tax evasion charge. His son Vito later followed him into the mob, and in 2007 was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder as well as racketeering, serving a prison sentence until 2012. During this time, a power struggle within the Rizzuto family ensued; his grandson Nicolo Jr. was killed in 2009, followed by Rizzuto himself by a sniper rifle while in his home on November 10, 2010.

Joseph ”Big Joe” Lonardo - How his death led to the historic Sugar Wars!

Joseph Lonardo, also known as "Big Joe", was a Sicilian emigrant to the United States who became the first crime boss of the Cleveland crime family, which he structured from a competing number of organized crime gangs. When national Prohibition began in 1920, Lonardo became a dealer in corn sugar, an essential ingredient in the manufacture of corn whiskey. Lonardo became a "sugar baron" by driving other legitimate corn sugar merchants out of business, encouraging home distillation, and using intimidation, murder, and theft to eliminate or drive his criminal competitors out of business. Lonardo transformed his gang, the Mayfield Road Mob, into a powerful organized crime family. He had the support of the D'Aquila crime family of New York City, and engaged in widespread bribery of local judges, police, and politicians. His criminal organization's reliance on low-quality corn whiskey led to a drop in revenues when consumers began favoring better quality, illegally imported liquor. He began demanding unquestioning loyalty while taking little risk, alienating many bootleggers, home distillers, and organized crime figures. Lonardo's control of the Cleveland mafia was usurped in 1927 by underboss Salvatore "Black Sam" Todaro and the Porrello brothers while Lonardo was out of the country. When Lonardo returned to Cleveland, he attempted to regain control of the Cleveland mafia. His bodyguards were arrested as suspects in the Yorkell and Brownstein murders, leaving Lonardo unprotected. On October 13, 1927, he was murdered in a Porrello barber shop, likely on the orders of "Black Sam" Todaro. His death sparked Cleveland's Corn Sugar War.

Carmine Galante - He dared them to kill him!

Carmine Galante was an American crime boss, gangster, drug-trafficker, and head of the Bonanno crime family. As he always smoked cigar, he was also called "The Cigar" and "Lilo." He was extremely ruthless and cruel, and utterly indifferent to human life, which scared not only other Mafia members but also the law enforcement agencies. While he was in prison, he was diagnosed as a psychopathic and neuropathic personality. Born to Italian immigrants, he rose from obscurity to Mafia boss, controlling a large part of international drug-trafficking. He started exhibiting criminal tendencies quite early, and was sent to reform school at the age of 10. Throughout his life, he was involved in robbery, bootlegging, assault, gambling, extortion, and murder. He was arrested several times, but was not indicted in most of the cases. He was also sentenced to several years of imprisonment on different occasions, but in most cases he was released on parole, before serving his imprisonment term. During the 1970s, Galante started asserting his control on the narcotics trade and plotted to eliminate his rivals, which proved to be his end. The other crime families could clearly see his intentions - he wanted to become "the boss of the bosses."

Frank Costello - Shot in the head & lived!!! He was the inspiration for The Godfather & was Lucky Luciano’s number 2

"The Prime Minister of the Underworld," Frank Costello, was the ideal racketeer. Costello grew up in East Harlem, where he led the 104th Street Gang, a group of young Italian hoodlums. After serving a year in prison for concealing a weapon, he allied himself with Lucky Luciano and expanded his bootlegging and gambling operations into New York, Florida, Louisiana, and other states. The mafia's political link and Luciano's closest aide after Giuseppe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano died in 1931, Costello quietly took over his syndicate interests after the boss of bosses was deported to Italy in 1946. He socialized with New York politicians and businessmen and gathered interests in Las Vegas casinos.
