Thats true that the feds were after Accardo and no one said that Accardo wasnt a powerful boss.The thing is there were other more powerful bosses like Ricca,for example.When Ricca went to jail,Tony busted his ass off to get him out.Even bosses like Costello and Owney Madden helped in getting Ricca out.So what does that tell you?

And many people say that Accardo stepped down because he was smart...thats not true.He stepped down because Ricca said so.Tony brought a lot of heat with his big ass house and the screw up with the horse meat business.Also one day some1 took a shot at Accardo...maybe it was an warning shot or maybe not..who knows?!
