You are basically correct. Cicero is hodgepodge. It’s one of one of Rocky’s old guys (who is a fed magnet), a Wild Bunch guy (another fed magnet), one of Bobby Salerno’s guys, and some new guys, some of them on the young side. Capable of violence, certainly, but “junk company” in terms of money is pretty accurate, especially when you consider what Cicero was once like under Aiuppa and Carlisi. If you were DiFronzo, would you be willing to jeopardize your freedom by dealing with that group of guys, when you're a legit millionaire?
