My sentiments exactly about Ricca & Accardo. I don't believe anyone could hang around for 60 plus years and be a snitch. These guys along with Humphreys, Giancana, Aiuppa, Cerone and Alex were some tough hombres. Humphrey and Alex were non-Italian and could not move to the top, but they sure contributed to The Outfit's success in organized crime.

Ricca, Accardo, Giancana and Aiuppa were four of the most hard-core ever.

But everyone has a right to his or her opinion.
