8. John ‘No Nose’ DiFronzo (b. 1928-) Don't you just love the names........
John DiFronzo, the reputed head of the Chicago Outfit, gained his unusual nickname after slicing off part of his nose while jumping through a window during a robbery. After his nose was re-cast, he was more likely to be called Johnny Bananas (to his face, at least). After the Five Families, the Chicago Outfit is thought to be the largest and most powerful mob in America. Despite having been arrested more than twenty times, DiFronzo avoided being indicted in the trial of top Chicago mob leaders in relation to 18 unsolved murders. He has been out of jail since 1994
