    Being the informational leaky sieve that it is, America has blessed us with indictment documents of the 127 New York mobsters who were nicked on the good side of the weekend. The scale of this bust is huge – the largest ever, in fact.

    16 indictments have been filed, and with every one of the major New York Crime families suffering significant casualties at the hands of the pigs, the toll of the bell must surely be ringing loud and clear in the ears of La Cosa Nostra.

    But you know all of this already. We have better news for you. We all secretly suspected – hoped above all hopes, perhaps – that the names of the 127 indicted gangsters would be worth a double take.  Our hope has not been in vain. But we could never have known just how deliciously evil/cheesy/sublime the nicknames of these goodfellas were.

    We’ve skimmed through all 16 of the documents, and lifted the best of the nicknames.
