I disagree that the Chicago outfit was decentralized. The capos may have had autonomy but they were all put in place by the Accardo Rica faction and they remained loyal and did what they were told.
Lol no they weren’t. The Capos & territories were put in place by Nitti/Ricca/Campagna, in 1933. Accardo has zero to do with it. He was under Tony Cap at the time
The Outfit WAS decentralized AFTER Giancana & Ricca were gone. Accardo then became a Semi-Retired Counselor to all 6 Bosses. Auippa & Cerone were simply "first among equals". Auippa (Melrose Park) Cerone (Elmwood Park) Lombardo (Grand Avenue) Torello (Cicero) Solano (North Side) Pilotto (Chicago Heights
Who was lending money first, Teets or Mad Sam?? I also read somewhere that there was a power battle between the accardo and Ricca faction and another group of guys to take over. At least what an informant said. It doesn’t say who he is just a number.
It was during the 1940s when Ricca and Campania were in prison. The northsiders were plotting to take over but Ross Prio ratted them out and was given the task of dispatching his bosses. He allegedly gave the job to the three Doms and then took over the Northside/Rush Street rackets for the outfit.
@@theninthheart4736 I didn’t say they were amazing. They obviously get things mixed up and connect conspiracy theories into real stories and what not. But they’re the best of the Chicago mob podcasts, other than Adam and red from mobvlog, and Gary Jenkins, the rest of the podcasts and mini docs stink.
@@theninthheart4736 and yeah I don’t spend much time on roemers info. Would love to believe more of it but that accardo vs the mob or whatever it was turned me off of him
Just a mild correction. Ray Ryan cheated Nick the Greek Dandolos, not Jimmy the Greek as stated, out of approximately $500k in 1949 at gin rummy poolside at the Thunderbird and Flamingo using a peek with a telescope and a radio transmission device. Ian Fleming would later use this as a plot device in the James Bond novel Goldfinger. The story goes that Nick was either backed financially by the Chicago Outfit in the game or he asked boss Tony Accardo for help. Accardo dispatched Outfit heavy Marshall Caifano to collect, but Ryan wouldn’t pay. The matter simmered until Caifano, along with Allen Smiley and Charles Del Monico (son of Genovese capo Charlie “the Blade” Tourine) muscled Ryan, who went to the cops.
This is just utter nonsense. Teets & Mooney rivals...? Accardo the boss...? Teets was Mooney’s protege lol. Mooney literally put him in as his replacement after he stepped down😂. This is akin to resent recitations from a bill roemer novel hahah
Would love to hear stories of him and my father I'm 60 now as you know my dad passed at 27 I was 6 or 7 I guess I have 4 sisters from different mothers

If anything it would’ve been between both factions...Ricca controlled the Taylor Street guys and Accardo the Elmwood Park/Northside.....

@@tronsnow4763 prio controlled the northside, not accardo. Elmwood/grand isn’t technically the north side
This has been a great podcast.
...most of it was utter nonsense
@@theninthheart4736 still waiting on your brilliant podcast

Cerone never worked for Battaglia. Cerone was the Boss of his own Elmwood Park Group & was Accardo's right hand man.
Who coined the name Outfit? And why?
For Capone, it was the "Syndicate." The Outfit moniker came later. Murray Humphreys or Accardo coined it I guess.
@@PaulWhitcombe based on what?
‘Outfit’ was a term used for all the crime syndicates around the US back then, it just stuck in Chicago for whatever reason
Salvador Sam *teets* Battaglia was my dad dads brother. Sam *teets* had a twim brother name Sam who was my dads grandfather.
