Yet RICO was never used until the old bosses died, even if it already existed when they were still around, and those who lived long enough like Accardo were never convicted.
I know, it's crazy that the law was on the books and the government didn't know how to apply it.
Another luxury the old bosses had was J. Edgar Hoover living until '72. I believe the story of Roy Cohn having blackmail photos of Hoover wearing a dress. Cohn's ex wife confirmed Hoover wore dresses and she witnessed him engaging in homosexual acts.
