Yo Bridgeport, take it down a notch! While we all appreciate your interest on the subject, you need to support some of your noticeably outrageous statements with some concrete evidence. From everything that I have read from Bill Roemer, who was an expert on the subject of the Outfit, he was certain that Accardo was pulling the strings for over 40 years, putting frontmen in the position/title of boss. Bill Roemer is Notre Dame educated and has been in the field for a long time. So, where do I get your "intel" from? Is it Bruno the shoe repair man in your neighborhood or is it Giacomo at the corner store?
