February 14, 1964 - John A. Gotti
The son of one of America's most publicized organized crime figures, he inherited operational control of the Gambino family at a young age and held it for the better part of a decade — navigating federal scrutiny that had already consumed his father. His tenure placed him at the center of one of New York's most powerful criminal organizations during a period of sustained law enforcement pressure on the American mob.
From Wikipedia
John Angelo Gotti (born February 14, 1964) is an American former mobster who was the acting boss of the Gambino crime family from 1992 to 1999. He became acting boss when the boss of the family, his father John Gotti, was sent to prison. The younger Gotti was imprisoned for racketeering in 1999, and between 2004 and 2009 he was a defendant in four racketeering trials, each of which ended in a mistrial. In January 2010, federal prosecutors announced that they would no longer seek to prosecute Gotti for those charges.
