1) Did he ever appear on any Chicago Outfit chart, FBI or otherwise? I don't think he did. Yet, he even stated himself that he has been an Outfit affiliate for his entire adult life. If this is true, then the FBI doesn't know everything.
Just because the guy never appeared on any internet forum charts, it doesn't mean the FBI wasn't aware of him. Nobody, including all the street guys in the know, ever mentioned Danny Leo or put him on any charts either. But, as we saw, the feds certainly knew who he was.
3) Carparelli was extorting people in Nevada, Colorado, etc. Again, the Outfit is a shadow of itself 30 years later, but the reach still extends.
Shaking down individual guys here or there is one thing. Having a significant presence, i.e. a standing crew or major operations in those areas, is another.
