I am not disagreeing with you at all, but I am playing the devil's advocate...Cleveland was knee deep in the casino skim as well plus Maishe Rockman had Bill & Jackie Presser (both from Cleveland) in his pocket. Bill Presser was regarded as one of the most powerful Teamster figures in history. Plus, Angelo Lonardo at that time was regarded as one of the most powerful mafia figures in the country. If I'm not mistaken, Milwaukee and Frankie Bal were part of the skim too.

There isn't a right or wrong answer which makes this fun to hear the points of view on each of these defunct families.
