Thanks ChiTown and yeah, people tend to forget that the Outfit was a part of Cosa Nostra and it has a chain of command, meaning there are no independent criminals in the organization and everyone who is involved in something illegal has to kick up to his bosses. For example Accardo was the boss from 1947 until 1952 or 53 when he briefly stepped down and later was brought back again in 1955 when Capezio died unexpectedly. My point is that during that period the Outfit had a top boss (Ricca), senior adviser (Campagna), boss (Accardo) and underboss (Giancana). So if the underboss was financing and at the same time making income from dope deals, all of that same cash went up the ladder, meaning they were all taking dope money.

The main problem is that people also forget to learn the old history of the organization, so they can understand what happened during the 70's and 80's. For example during the 1960's the Outfit's operations were on the downfall because of the many hidden informants and so during the 1970's both Accardo and Alex were scared of being closely involved in the dope biz and they left many examples down the road, but even with that the dope biz continued to thrive among the Outfit's members, especially the ones from the Grand Av and Chicago Heights crews. And if Accardo really prohibitied the dope biz, then why the brother of his successor and crew member No Nose DiFronzo got caught with whole farm for marijuana during the early 90's?!
