YOU are offering no concrete evidence that his advice was widely valued by anyone. Since you want to reference FBI reports, you will know then that sources are black out and redacted in reports. Facts are facts, what FACTS do YOU have that is advice was widely valued??? What I was stating was that if Accardo was so active and widely sought out for counsel it seems like he would have been implicated in some type of conspiracy charge. Seems like over and over again people were indicted right up to him. So he either wasn't that active or protected by some one. I never said he wasn't a force or that I know more than the FBI, I just don't believe he was a super criminal mastermind.
