Oh yeah? Even in the late 80s the FBI recorded a conversation between Outfit hitman Frank Schweih and a store owner he was extorting. Someone threw out the possibility that NY was trying to infiltrate Chicago and Schweih immeditely dismissed the idea, saying "Those [explatives] know not to come around here. Chicago has the worst reputation in the country."

When you guys had the moronic John Gotti making a "star" of himself until he finally got sent to prison for the rest of his miserable life Tony Accardo was dying peacefully at home having never gone to jail for even a single day.
