Yeah, all internet sources should be taken with a grain of salt or alot. But these guys seemed to know there stuff, alot of it. One of them, forgot which one, was "outed" by Fosco as, I think, The Clown Lombardo's nephew. The posters started attacking Fosco and his claims of extortion, so he got upset and let that out there.
From what they said, was that Zizzo either wanted the top spot or didn't want to be under D'Amico. So D'Amico had him go because he wasn't going to play along.
They all said that Sarno wasn't a crew boss, that he was just a made guy. That he was under Zizzo. Just what they said.
I believe Fratto was shelved and I think he was only a solider, not a crew boss.
From what they said, the crew bosses were Pete DiFronzo/The Builder, Jimmy I, Caruso, and Solly D.
I know Vina is in there somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Could be someones street boss. They said the crews each had a boss and a #2/street boss.
I had heard/read the rumor about the split to North and South as well. Would make sense, but who knows.
I had not heard the rumors of Caruso paying Sarno. That would be very surprising to me.
As always, who knows. This is why I find Chicago so fascinating. Just seems that there is so much less info out there about them and even to this day there old stuff is less well known.
Now if only Nick Calabrese would write a book or somebody else flip so that we can get some straight answers.
