Haha I don't feel offended, I just know what I'm talking about. His IS slightly exaggerated; Joe Batters was a powerful guy, but he got to where he was by never stepping on toes & going along with the program.

It wasn't made up by the FBI, that's the information they got & they have every right to believe it. Fact is, Roemer was getting his info from Jackie Cerone, who was Aiuppa's right hand man, and Joey Aiuppa never wanted anyone to know he was the man, same with Paul Ricca. As I previously stated, Accardo was perfectly content being the front/fall guy, he was just that loyal.

I appreciate your rationality & polite nature, my friend. Any other questions you have, please grill me.
