Gary, 1) Cigar (Giancana) spent too much time away from Chicago. 2) He spent too much time with Phyllis McGuire. 3) He had trouble trusting anybody unless they grew up with him on Taylor St. 4) He viewed Accardo as his opponent rather than a partner.

Cerone was cheap and somewhat unfair with his own men. He one time tried to collect money from the widow of one of his men. When Sam heard about it, He embarrassed Cerone at the Armory Lounge in front of everyone saying out loud " I heard one of my Bosses doesn't make enough money gouging his own men that he has to now collect money from a fucking widow. " Cerone didn't belong to the Taylor St. Crew, He was the Boss of the Elmwood Park crew.

Accardo was a very smart and shrewd guy. He was very well respected across the Board and very close to Paul (Ricca). His relationship with Roemer, the Federal Agent, was a little too close for comfort.
