Thanks for clearing that up, JC. Assumed Caifano was one of the more brainy Outfit guys out west. Need to do more reading up. And, yes, I forgot there were accounts that Accardo spend a night in jail. Still has an impressive record. He wasn't called Joe Batters for nothing, however. And, I'm sure he mostly stayed out of prison because Illinois politics were so corrupted.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
