Lennie McPherson was a standover man who committed more murders than any other major organised figure. He was probably the most successful criminal Sydney has ever seen, and the one most often referred to as Mr Big. (Another name he was given was Mr Ten Per Cent.) Although not so influential as Fred Anderson, whom he succeeded at the top of the tree, his time at the top, or near to it, occurred a bit later, when organised crime had become far more lucrative, thanks to the drug market.
