John Credidio and his brother Gino own Chicago Studio City. Both were very hooked up with the Outfit back in the 80s. John lived down the street from "Joe Nick" Ferriola and the Outfit financed their company, while the company only subcontracted through Outfit-controlled Teamster locals and allowed Outfit guys like Billy Galioto and Rudy Fratto to extort the shit out of all movie crews and force them to hire their subcontractors. The tactics probably weren't strong-arm as much as "over charging." Many say The Fugitive filmed in Chicago with the Credidios was an example of what went on--extremely inflated production costs.

Not sure what their status with the Outfit is now days, but I know that Studio City is very successful and they were both involved with the Transformers movies--one of which is being filmed in the Loop right now. I would say that given the mob financed their company, they are paying someone.
