Interesting to note or in other words, what we can learn from the situation regarding Loverde and Capone is that even though Loverde was considered the official rep for the Chi family in 1930, STILL or by the end of the day Capone was considered the real power. This info comes from Nick Gentile, old time member of the Mafia and also former representative whose life was once saved by Capone himself. So my point is that in some cases even though some member held the official spot, still there was someone more powerful then him and had all of the respect. In one of the previous threads we talked about the boss of bosses position being officially nixed after 1931, BUT in terms of power there was always someone during certain time periods who was more powerful then the rest of the reps on the commission and controlled most of the votes in his own favour. Sometimes there were alliances of two or three bosses who controlled the whole commission etc.


Excellent points here. That info was really telling
