Yes I'm agreeing with you, they were behind the Outfit. But they weren't THAT far behind. Especially when overall numbers are being taken into account.
I'd also say the outfit's overall influence (during the Giancana era only) surpassed the Gambinos & was equal with the Genovese family.
how much power did giancana really have with paul ricca and tony accardo around?
he didn't get demoted because of his stellar job performance
