Based on what you guys are saying, apparently he did very well. I did get the impression he was " quick on the trigger." I have the FBI file on Aiuppa and it goes back to the 30's . He had investments in several businesses besides the jukebox co.

I have no idea why the FBI made reference to Aiuppa's intellect, but one thing history allows is a "look back" at what occurred and draw some conclusions. It appears Aiuppa was in the same fold as Ricca, Accardo and Giancana. But he did stay under the radar.....as much as possible. And yeah, he didn't rat. Considering the increased law enforcement scrutiny, he apparently did a good job while running a criminal organization.

One other question. I'm not from Chicago so my knowledge of geographic areas is limited. Is Calumet City considered part of Chicago Heights? I remember seeing Calumet City mentioned a lot while reading "The Boys In CH." I could Check-out a map but it's easier to ask you guys.
