Great stuff @Rush and I dont know if this is new or old, but I think I previously somewhere read some of the transcripts.
Lake County used to be under Rocco Fischetti, Les Kruse and Black Joe Amato. Later the Lake County and McHenry areas belonged only to Amato. I dont know if Solly D and his guys started under Amato or they collaborated with him as Cicero associates, but I know for sure that after the 1976/77 meeting Amato lost or gave his areas to the Torello-Cicero group.
What kind of business were they generating in Lake County? It was and always has been a pretty rural area. I mean there are plenty of bars so I guess poker machines?
