Accardo was NEVER THE BOSS, it was always a front for either Ricca, Giancana, or Aiuppa/Cerone. Tony Accardo himself never had the final word on ANYTHING.
Yes, most reports are completely false, this is what makes the Outfit so cunning & makes them so effective at what they do.
You gotta be kidding? Accardo was never a boss? where did you get that from, all the others were front bosses. He had the ultimate control over the Outfit for more than 30 years.
