Not sure how many of you know who he is, but he is the former boss of the Colombo crime family. He had been in prison since the 80’s, and is known by his nicknames “Snake” and “Junior”.

Saw this earlier when I woke up.
He lived a crazy life, even by mob standards. Should have left his position and let the family pick his replacement though.

Carmine Persico Has Been A Mafia Boss Since 1973, But Behind Bars Since 1987
By Katie Serena
Published December 28, 2018
Known as "Immortal," octogenarian Carmine Persico has been ruling the Colombo crime family from prison for 30 years.
Mafia scholars have long argued over who was the greatest family, who was the greatest boss, who built the greatest criminal empire. Names like Joe Gallo and Lucky Luciano come to mind, but their terms were relatively short-lived. They had to prove themselves and rise through the ranks before enjoying their moment at the top.
But there was one man who was, it seemed, born a mobster and who has stayed at the top long after his contemporaries died off.
In elementary school, he shook his classmates down for lunch money. By the time he was 15, he’d already been involved in a shootout between two rival gangs. By 17, he’d been accused of a murder. By 20, he was accused of another. At 40, the Colombo crime family was under his power and has been ever since – even now, while he sits in prison serving a 139-year sentence.
Yes, it seems that Carmine Persico was born to be a mobster and isn’t finished yet. ...

Are you sure he's not from the Cuomo family?

It's Carlo Gambino and nobody else is close.

Yes, he looks like an entirely different person than the one in the OP.
Could he have been in the Four Seasons???
