I remember the hunting retreat and the price Tony Spilotro and his brother paid for exposing Aiuppa and Cerone in the skimming deal. I've read those articles many times.

Aiuppa was a tough old bird. From what I've gathered, he was not the money-maker like Giancana or the thinker like Accardo, but he was gangster 100 percent and that alone made up for any shortcomings, not that he had any, but he was one of the old diehard criminals. I believe Aiuppa adhered to the belief that "when in doubt, take 'em out."

There's another story about two FBI agents who stopped by his house to talk with
him. If I can find the story I'll post it on the forum. Needless to say they got absolutely nothing from him. About the only thing he said was, "I have nothing to say." He was very courteous and cordial to the agents but made it clear "he had nothing to say." Tough, tough, tough.

Here's the story.
