You're welcome bud.

Theres no credibility of that "30 to 40 leaders being killed" statement, but I can tell you the two most important things to remember is that after 1931 the "boss of bosses" position was nixed as official spot but in terms of power it was another story, and also regarding the existence of two factions the "greaseballs" and the "Americanized" guys. Also, "Toto Loverti" who was involved in the Masseria hit, was in fact Salvatore "Toto" Loverde who in turn was representative for the Chicago Mafia in 1930 but was killed that same year and so Capone became the new official Chicago boss and was also recognized by Maranzano.
