Thats right although we must not forget that the from the 1940s until the early 1990's the Outfit was taking street tax from most of the burglary crews and it didnt matter on who led the crews, but instead it was important on which Outfit guy was connected to them. For example, the Purolator heist was "overseen" by the Chicago Heights crew (Catuara, Rubino, Fidanzi) and they allegedly took 500, 000 out of 4 million, meaning the rest went to the robbers. I believe Handhart gave the same percentage to the Grand Avenue crew from every bruglary he was involved in, mainly through Schiro. Corrupt cop and alleged made guy Richard Cain was also connected to another burglary crew, same as Outfit capo Wllie Daddono. "Legend" goes that when DiFronzo became boss during the early 1990s, he allegedly nixed the street tax for burglars.
