Going a little back into the history of crime, especially crime in America in the recent one century, you will realize that much of it is attributed to organizations run by crime families, where crime in disguised forms is the family business. And, despite the fact that their presence has been fading away, they still retain their power and their authority. Given below is the list of the top 10 crime families of America. Read on!
10. Lucchese crime family: The Lucchese Family is one of the famous five crime families of America. They are Italian and have a strong mafia network backing their business and their lives.

Forgot one, bigger than all of those listed:
The Clinton Crime Family.
What? the Clinton’s don’t even get an honorable mention?
that family has it’s own Murder Inc soldiers..
What no DNC?
Hey... Where are the Clintons?
Well, the Clintons aren’t Italian but they seem to fit otherwise.
Soros.
Clinton.
Muslim Brotherhood/CAIR/Obama
DNC (puppet of above)
Does the Clinton Family rate as high as a Crime Family such as on this list, or are they more like a gang (albeit at a higher level) such as the Ma Barker Gang or the Dillinger Gang?
Everyone acknowledges that Bill and Hillary are the Bonnie and Clyde of the last 30 years. The Clinton era has come to a screeching halt.
Mostly Italians.
One of these days I'm gonna take a stroll past Spark's Steak House.
Trafficanti crime family is the subject of a book here in Tampa, a friend who grew up in Tampa knows about the Trafficanti family...
The Clinton Crime Family should be proudly chanting — WE’RE NUMBER ONE, WE’RE NUMBER ONE!
