    His answer of “miscellaneous” is probably true story. When Nicky Barnes was about to be indicted for tax evasion he had his tax attorney file all back years before he was indicted and under occupation he put “cocaine dealer”, paid principal, late filing penalties, and interest.
    He was not indicted and pretty much left alone.

      Accardo had an 80 year long career with the Chicago Outfit and spent one night in jail. Accardo held power over the Outfit for 40 years. Gambino served as Boss for 16 years and in a 50 year Mafia career spent 22 months in prison which is 668.167 days longer than Accardo ever did. Also when the government wanted to kill Castro they turned to the Outfit not one of the 5 families for assistance so they must not have been too small of tortellinis 😊

    We should remember Mr. Accardo was at the helm of a syndicate the size of the entire NY 5 Families. If there was a Mt. Rushmore for mobsters, his face would be on it.
