Do you think that Cerone was a goofy guy?

Soooooooo, Big Bad Teddy Roe was not only a Gangster, but he was also a Rat. Well, no wonder Giancana came after him. He was doing his duty to the gangster world by killing an informer. All you Teddy Roe fans can now go fuck yourselves.

Theres some info that back in the 60's on the south side of Chicago,Lawrence Wakefield was a big player in the policy rackets,but he was a that much of a low profile guy that the outfit didnt know about his wealth

I wanna give my last opnion on this thread and that is.....in the end the Outfit got what they wanted,most of the black gangsters ran away,went 6 feet under ground or switched sides.A very little number of guys got away with it and never got touched.In general the black policy kings did not fight back,some of em even snitched their own buddies in crime and never gave back anything to their community,and even funnier thing is that most of the black community didnt boycott the policy operations.The Chicago outfit had it all.cheers

Jackie cerone was most certainly no goof. He was a prolific gangster that dominated elmwood park for many years. He was just a prick/tyrant

Yeah your right,maybe i used the worng word.

Cerone was a cheapskate and not very popular with his own men.
He was basically a Cheap Prick. However, He was a very smart Gangster. Aligned himself with Accardo, Became Boss of Elmwood Park and then became basically Co-Boss of the Entire Outfit.

Was also smart enough to survive Giancana who didn't like him at all and wanted to kill him. Accardo saved Jack many times.
Cerone was very good in running gambling. No, he was an asshole, but a very smart Mafioso. I have to give the Devil his due.

On more additional note, I read that Mickey Cogwell was the last big policy runner before he was killed.

I don't doubt that cogwell operated policy but his murder wasn't outfit related

Cogwell and the Blackstone Rangers(i think) with the backing of the Chicago Outfit,controlled policy racket in the black community
