Might be the same guy.

The reports say that Moro owned a joint in Buffalo pre and post Prohibition. It also says that in 1923 Moro was in NYC and so he probably arrived in Chicago sometime during the mid 1920s and probably stayed there intil 1932 or by the end of Prohibition, and later went to LA where he operated a new joint and also operated a joint in AZ, meaning the guy was all around the country lol. Interesting to note is that the late 1920s and early 30s was the time period when many mobsters fled Chicago because of the bloody conflict at the time. Im not saying that Moro was one of those guys but who knows?! Maybe he was the "Roselli" type of member who had membership in another family but also had close ties to Chicago and NY/Buffalo?

Interesting to note is that two of Moro's brothers Albert and Harry possibly remained in Berwyn which is an area next to Cicero, something which confirms Moro's old bootlegging ops in that same territory. Moro also had a sister and her husband worked in Chicago's City Hall until the early 1950s.
