Roselli was an outfit guy all the way. He was sent to LA in the 1940s but never switched membership to that Family.

Roselli was bootlegging in Los Angeles in the mid 1920s with Tony Cornero.

When Jack Dragna died in 1956, Roselli was a candidate to take over the family, but DeSimone was selected. After that, he was able to switch back to the Outfit since he already knew Ricca and Gianacana. This was documented in The Last Mafioso.
