The Outfit had a ton of busts in the 1980's and 1990's. With some rare exceptions, all of their top guys were imprisoned.
Weird how nobody (well except for you and me haha) ever mentions this. Especially, Strawman and GAMBAT were really big deals that were every bit as devastating as the Commission Case was to New York (actually more so, in terms of reducing the Outfit to the minor leagues).
Tony Accardo did a good job of staying out of trouble, but the rest of them pretty much got busted like Colombo leaders have been.
I think I'm going to start a thread speculating that Accardo avoided prison by being an informer, just to piss off the fanboys.
