Capone may have gone through some sort of initiation to become a Five Pointer but the Chicago organization under Torrio and Capone did not adhere to any dogma other than "Can you earn?" and "Keep your mouth shut."

The Atlantic City deal was just an acknowledgement that Torrio was stepping down and Capone was in as boss, nothing more.

The Calabrese kid that squealed mentioned some BS about a ceremony but I wouldn't believe much of anything that momo has to say. There might have been some of that greaseball shit among the inner circle of Italians in Chicago at some point but I sincerely doubt it's anything like what the East coast guys do.

That's the deal in Chicago, make money, keep quiet. Always has been always will be.
