@DiLorenzo thanks.

@Jace during the late 1940's the captain of one of the largest territories Melrose Park known as Rocco DeGrazia was arrested together with his brother Andrew on dope dealing charges and on top of that, both were heavy users. This was during the reign when Accardo became the boss and from that point on he allegedly has forbidden for his underlings to get DIRECTLY involved in the racket, but instead they used associates or middlemen. Later during the early 1950's Joe Iacullo was one of Accardo's main runners, including Anthony Pape, and when they both got arrested by FBN agents in 1954, the investigators pulled out files that before his arrest Iacullo was seen going in and out of Accardo's house more than 20 times. So Accardo was scared of the publicity from the dope business and immediately posted the $25,000 bonds for all who were indicted and began eliminating them one by one.

This is just one example in a time period which was before the feds began bugging these guys and the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was the only government organization who was after these guys at the time. In plane words Roemer didnt know shit. On top of that, sometimes he even invented stories such as Accardo being the shooter at the St Valentines Day Massacre or the crazy family pact. I mean what to do expect from a guy who later also wrote a fictional book on the Outfit. There were other agents at the time who were way more credible than Roemer
