I just started yesterday. Pretty good so far but it's a lot of the same stuff from The genuine godfather about Tony Accardo. That was real good. I like Roemers no bullshit attitude and has some damn good stories with the outfit.

Yea I agree it seems like he got a crush on accardo and the hump. That is because they didn't act like dicks when they were approached by him. Unlike Giancana and Spilotro.
It's all about how you carry.yourself. The first two I mentioned died in bed the last two never made it to bed.

The first two I mentioned died in bed the last two never made it to bed. roemer and his fbi cohorts, planted some bugs in some Chicago joints, but, they never made any arrests that I know of. I read all of roemers books, he crows a lot about how much he and the fbi hurt the mob, but, at the time he was active, I don't think he hurt them much at all.

Yup all the bugs were illegal back then. It was just pretty much for information so they can find out where they go and what they do. Stop murders before they happen.
If you think about it all the people he was following died in their beds not in jail.
Exception being Giancana cause he was killed.
Roemer was pretty much a very big thorn in their sides. Always there when they didn't want him to be. Not many successful prosecutions just arrests. Times and laws were very different back then.
