Accetturo was no choirboy himself.
He had a vicious reputation.
He also didn't seem to understand that when you are in the mafia you are supposed to pass a percentage of the money you steal up the food chain.
Guys like him and Ricciardi were renegades, out for themselves.
I wouldn't put much stock in the spin that guys like him and Ricciardi come out with.
It has as much worth as D'Arco's outlandish Kimberly Hotel story.
That's a good point. The guy runs the entire NJ Luchese crew and expects all he has to do is toss over $50,000 a year? That may have been the arrangement with Corallo but I don't see why any other boss would put up with it. Corallo should have at least told Casso that was going to happen, or told Acceturo to kick up more.
