Yeah, Capone was previously an associate of the Masseria clan and paid certain sum of money. Around that same year (1928) he was called upon by Masseria who in turn allegedly explained all of the rules to Capone and told him to eliminate both Lombardo, Yale and Aiello (possibly Esposito too). Late Masseria inducted Capone into Cosa Nostra, and was instantly bumped to the capo position. The Chicago family was later allegedly first officially recognized by Maranzano (the last boss of bosses) and after that by the "new" commission.
