@InternetDork I'm ready to defend my position for those who think otherwise. I have no inside knowledge or any information that's not widely available but my grandfather was Joe Batters best friend for life since they started doing Street crimes when they were teenagers until my grandfather died in 1968. One thing I can say with certainty, knowing those guys is, if Tony Accardo said he did something, or was on a job, then you can take it to the bank. Both the Frankie Yale job and the Valentine's thing. That being the case, I believe the consensus among the amateur mob historians that the American Boys were responsible for those incidents is wrong. The hard evidence is circumstantial at best and eyewitness testimony places Fred Burke in a road house in the south suburbs of Chicago on the morning of that Saint Valentine's Day. That has nothing to do with my original comment, I was just addressing a part of the video that I think you got wrong. Cheers!
This man was like the real life god father
He was!
He was the epitome of a "quiet power," a leader who preferred influence over infamy
very nice mic upgrade
Glad you think so!
No one who's anyone called him "Big Tuna". That's a nonsense media name.
True! I guess "Big Tuna" was just a little too fishy for the real mobsters!
He was the smartest mob boss .
Id say so kept super low key
The Outfit is underrated as the most powerful criminal organization in American history.
But Accardo as a mob boss is slightly overrated.
I would agree with yea brother
