Chicago is my city and I find tons and tons of guys who were "shelved" hanging around - many still in Chicagoland - for example Stevie Annoreno is still around following his indictments in the 60s and 70s and later fallout with Angelo LaPietra (over stealing) and runs a successful chain of Italian Beef restaurants across Chicago - I had actually been to one multiple times literally as I was reading about Annoreno's old Cicero Crew and had no idea he was the owner.

These guys can be Googled fairly easily - makes you wonder if the real "boys" know that or simply just don't care about the guys who skip town after falling out of favor.
