Toodoped, I have an great amount of respect for you and I know I'm driving you guy's crazy with my Capone theory, but I really believe it to be true. Ralph didn't loose power until after Capone's death. I believe ralph tooked care of all of Al's business. When Ricca would visit al in Florida he would speak to al and talk business with Ralph in the next room, because that house was always being watched by the FBI, speaking of the FBI,they knew al was still active but couldn't prove, they interviews everyone in that house and nobody spilled the beans. There's interviews by his nephews that said when al would sneak away to his resort, that they once walked in on a meeting al and Ralph was having with the outfit, not to mention that Ralph was the money man in that Hollywood scandal back in the 40's, he was an unindicted conspirator.
I think that ive told you before that im not making fun of your theory but all need is hard evidence from associates or members who said something regarding the situation not relatives who were in diapers at the time. Ive sent you wiretapped convos and fbi reports, give me something in that kind of form and then ill say bless you
Also how do you explain the dividation of Cicero by the late 1930s which was allegedly Capones old stronhold. It was divided on north and south Cicero with Ralph Maddox and Heeney on the south and Campagna Volpe and Giancana on the north. This is another evidence that the West Side took over and there was no.more Capone. This is the Mafia we're talking about so dont get carried away by loyalty and obidience...the family thing began when Capone was out of jail which can probably explain Riccas or Guziks visits at his home. Story goes that Ralph refused to give any cash since both Matty and Als son were a real problem
