Im not sure if LA had to answer to Chicago but LA did have deep ties
With the Cleveland Family.
Frank and Tony Milano had homes in LA. Mickey Cohen I believe was born
In Cleveland and started out as a feather weight boxer.
Cleveland underboss Frank Brancato and low level solider Frank Visconti had several
Investments in the LA restaurant scene.
John Scalish and Mickey Cohen were very close as they shared legit business arraingements
