Hawaii mob boss Michael Miske - OD

Hawaii crime boss Michael Miske, 50, died of "toxicity of fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl," the medical examiner's office said in a statement. The death appears to have been accidental but the case is still under investigation. Para-fluorofentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is more potent than fentanyl. Miske was found unresponsive at the lockup on Dec. 1.

He was convicted in July on 13 charges including racketeering conspiracy, murder in the aid of racketeering, and kidnapping resulting in death. Lindsey Kinney, an associate of crime boss Michael Miske pleaded not guilty to making threats to injure over social media. He was charged with threatening to cut off the heads of three people on Instagram.

US authorities charged 11 of a criminal group operating on the Hawaiian island of Oahu with a combined 22 crimes ranging from bank fraud to murder-for-hire. 17 stuck to the group's leader. Miske’s history of criminal activity goes back decades. Miske offered to pay several of his co-defendants to kidnap and murder Johnathan Fraser, who went missing in July of 2016. He hasn't been seen since. Miske and his associates are also accused of attempted murder of a second victim, who they believed was a rat.

His conviction entitled the government to take control of up to $28m in Miske's assets, including boats, houses and artwork. Miske was fingered for owning a company that bought hundreds of cars at a wholesale dealers-only auction over years, using threats and intimidation to discourage rival bidders to buy vehicles at rock-bottom prices. The company, Hawaii Partners LLC, was licensed as a used car dealer. Cops used the term “Miske Enterprise” for the ring controlled and directed by Miske from the late 1990s until his indictment and arrest in July 2020.

Miske and a dozen co-defendants were charged with a huge range of federal crimes, including participating in a racketeering conspiracy, murder-for-hire, kidnapping, assault, armed robbery, weapons offenses, drug trafficking and bank fraud. 6 of Miske's co-accused turned rat.

‘The Hole’ – NY mafia graveyard

Former Bonanno boss Joseph 'Big Joey' Massino, the first head of one of New York’s five mob families to turn rat, died in 2023. Massino ran the Bonanno family with an iron fist from 1991 to 2003.

Massino began talking with the feds after he was convicted in 2004 for ordering 25 years worth of murder, racketeering and a slew of other crimes. He had been handed a life sentence, including for the slayings of his three mob captains. He used and later ratted out Vito Rizzuto. He was nailed for the execution of a mobster who had vouched for FBI undercover agent Joseph D. Pistone, who used the name Donnie Brasco, in the 1980s. It became the subject of the hit 1997 film Donnie Brasco, starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino.

A five-block triangular plot of land along the Brooklyn-Queens boundary is known as the Hole.

The neighborhood is neglected.

Partially flooded streets, vacant and overgrown lots, abandoned cars with bullet holes and shattered windows, motorhomes, numerous real estate signs, bulldozers, and even chickens are found there. Venturing down the 'Jewel' streets (Emerald, Amber, Ruby, and Sapphire) leads one into a pit, one of which is 30 feet below grade.

The Hole is most famous as the site of a mafia graveyard in the early 1980s. John Gotti and his crime family favored the neighborhood to dispose of bodies. Gotti hid the remains of two high-profile murders there. John Favara was Gotti’s neighbor who accidentally struck and killed Gotti’s youngest son Frank with his car in 1980. The second victim is Tommy DeSimone, a Lucchese family associate who was immortalized by Joe Pesci in the 1990 Martin Scorsese film Goodfellas. In 1981, children playing on 78th Street (Ruby Street) came across the hand of Bonanno crime family capo Alphonse 'Sonny Red' Indelicato.

In 2004 the bodies of Philip 'Philly Lucky' Giaccone and Dominick 'Big Trin' Trinchera were dug up by the FBI. On May 5, 1981 the men were ambushed by four gunmen wearing masks. One of the gunmen was Montreal mob boss Vito Rizzuto.

Murder, Incorporated

Murder Incorporated was the name the news media gave to organized crime groups in the 1930s and '40s that acted as the enforcement arm of the mob in New York and elsewhere. Murder Inc's most high profile hit was Dutch Schultz.

The groups were largely composed of Italian-American and Jewish gangsters. Murder, Inc. had a number of prolific killers, including Harry Strauss. The hit men were paid a regular salary as retainer as well as an average fee of $1,000 to $5,000 per killing. Murder, Inc. was believed to be responsible for between 400 and 1,000 contract murders.

Lepke Buchalter started Murder, Inc. in 1933 with the mission to kill anyone for a price, as long as the contract was approved by the National Crime Syndicate. Lepke would get orders from the syndicate, pick the hitman for the job, send off the contract, and wait for the task to be carried out. Buchalter died in the electric chair at Sing Sing on March 4, 1944.

Emanuel “Mendy” Weiss was one of Buchalter’s most trusted associates, and he became second-in-command. In 1935 Charles Workman and Weiss handled the hit on Dutch Schultz. Weiss was later executed for the murder of Joseph Rosen.

Frank 'Dasher' Abbandando was a violent sexual predator and a psychopathic killer. He used ice picks in most of the more than 30 murders he committed. Abbandando was executed in the electric chair in 1942.

The Lord High Executioner, Albert Anastasia was joint in command with Lepke during Murder Inc’s ten year spell. Anastasia was gunned down in a barber’s chair in late 1957 on orders from Vito Genovese.

Abe 'Kid Twist' Reles was a dreaded gunman and an ice pick prodigy, allegedly so skilfull he could make it seem, by stabbing his prey in the ear, as if they had died due to a brain hemorrhage. He brought down Murder Inc. as a government witness. Just before he was to be the star witness in the trial of Albert Anastasia in November, 1941 he fell to his death while under police protection.

Claudia Ochoa Felix - Mexican Kim Kardashian revisited

Claudia Ochoa Félix, the 'Empress of Ántrax' died in 2019 not from hired killers, but from a drug overdose. El Chino was killed in 2020. Claudia Ochoa Felix had a decadent lifestyle and army of bodyguards. The armed security of the Mexican beauty were not to protect her from over-zealous fans ... but from assassins.

After Los Ántrax boss Jose Rodrigo Arechiga Gamboa 'El Chino' was arrested, his girlfriend became the new chief. Her portrayal of a life of narcissism undercut her emphatic denial that she was La Emperatriz de Los Ántrax - the Empress of Los Ántrax, responsible for hundreds of bloody murders as the Sinaloa drug cartel’s elite killer squad.

Anyone who stands in the Sinaloa cartel's way is killed, with El Chino responsible for many murders. Countless victims have been executed by the gang’s trademark chainsaw beheading.

Despite a failed assassination bid, Felix refused to quit her champagne and caviar lifestyle. Claudia Ochoa Felix was often seen in the clubs of Mazatlan, Culiacan and Guadalajara, but always surrounded by gunmen.

John Gotti the Teflon Don

John Joseph Gotti, Jr was an American mobster who became the Boss of the Gambino crime family. Gotti rose quickly in the Gambino ranks, becoming one of the crime family's biggest earners. He was made at the age of 24. Gotti was a protege of Gambino underboss Aniello Dellacroce.

After an FBI indictment of members of Gotti's crew for selling drugs, Gotti knew for a certain fact he and his brother would be killed by Paul Castellano.

Gotti organized the murder of Castellano in December 1985 and took over the family shortly thereafter. This left Gotti as the boss of the most powerful crime family in America, which made hundreds of millions a year from construction, hijacking, loan sharking, gambling, extortion and other criminal activities. Gotti survived numerous legal cases unscathed. Witnesses developed cases of what the press called "I forgotti", and with every acquittal it added to his reputation.

The American media dubbed Gotti 'The Teflon Don' due to the failure of any charges to stick. On Dec 11, 1990, FBI agents and cops raided the Ravenite Social Club, arresting Gotti, Sammy Gravano and Frank Locascio.

Gotti was charged with five murders (Castellano and Bilotti, Robert DiBernardo, Liborio Milito and Louis Dibono), conspiracy to murder Gaetano "Corky" Vastola, loansharking, illegal gambling, obstruction of justice, bribery and tax evasion. Sammy Gravano turned rat. On April 2, 1992, Gotti was found guilty on all charges. He was sentenced to life without parole.

Sammy Gravano

In 1998 Gotti was diagnosed with throat cancer. The condition returned in 2000. Gotti died on June 10, 2002 at the age of 61. The former boss's 7,000-square-foot mansion fell into disrepair. The home is located in Old Westbury, New York, and hasn’t been occupied since 2016 when it was raided by federal agents.

Hitman Gérald Gallant - Canada's most prolific killer

Before Frédérick Silva, the record for killings in Canada belonged to Gérald Gallant. Gallant admitted to 28 murders and 12 attempted murders between 1978 and 2003.

Gérald Gallant's hallmark was to kill with shots to the head, neck and chest.

Gérald Gallant is 5'-8" with a thin frame and a stutter. The unassuming hit man admitted killing 29, including a bystander, between 1978 and 2003, making him the most prolific assassin in Canadian history.

A young Gallant worked for West-End Gang kingpin Raymond Desfosses, who gave him his first contract in 1980. Gérald Gallant didn’t hesitate to kill anyone, but he had his standards.

Gallant killed often through the ’80s and ’90s, with Desfosses paying $10k per hit.

Desfosses hired him to kill Gilles Cote in 1985. "I saw that he had a little kid next him," Gallant said. "(My partner) got ready to shoot. I told him ‘whoa, whoa! He has a little kid, you understand me? We never do that!' We’ll come back tomorrow!’

Gallant was true to his word and Cote was riddled with bullets the next day.

Work was plentiful by 1997, with the biker war pitting the Hells Angels against the Rock Machine. In 1998 he eliminated five, including Paul Cotroni Jr., son of deposed mob boss Frank Cotroni.

Gallant confessed and named names, putting away 11 gangsters.

The 2000 murder of Bob Savard, right-hand man to HA boss Maurice "Mom" Boucher, was a sign Gallant’s iron nerve was cracking. His associate and two bystanders were injured in a hail of gunfire. Gallant killed two more between 2000 and 2003, and hatched a failed plot to kill Boucher. Gallant killed the wrong man during a hit in Ste-Adele in 2001 and left behind DNA evidence. It was the end. In 2008, Gallant received 48 life sentences for murder and attempted murder.

He won’t be eligible for parole until 2033, by which time he will be 83 years old.
