Tycoon is a good word for Prio - really one of the major powerhouses of the Outfit (and LCN in general) that gets so little attention. His crew was a tough bunch of guys too - DeMonte was known as a hitter as was Big Joe Arnold (who was an orphan/juvenile delinquent who Allegretti groomed).
Prio's son is still alive today and resides in Florida.
Interestingly enough, this old Chicago Tribune article says he was identified by the FBI for the first time at the Appalachin meeting in NYC (which I believe was false - it was Giancana and Ferraro there if I have my facts right).
