This was Fratianno's account of a conversation he had with Roselli. I take a lot of what Fratianno said with a grain of salt, especially his chest thumping about how scared Jews in LA were of Italians, but I don't think he had any reason to lie about Roselli and Accardo. I'm sure Roselli told him these things about Accardo.

edit: I think this was a wiretapped conversation between Fratianno and Roselli. So, yes, Roselli definitely said these things.

"...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
