Actually that story of Spilotro thinking of taking over Chicago might actually have some merit. Jack Locicero and Angelo Polizzi had a meeting with Tony Spilotro in California, one informer said that it was about Tony ruffling up a high level associate to the Los Angeles family, another informant said they suggested Tony should take over Las Vegas. Regardless the meeting adds up on how Jimmy Regace was trying to run Los Angeles and gain powerful influence nationwide. On the other hand, Jack Locicero could have been pulling a Frank Tieri and try to get Spilotro killed with San Diego crew gaining influence in Las Vegas. They certainly would have Detroit and Milwaukee on their side in support of San Diego overseeing Las Vegas area for the other families.
