Ricca just gave Mooney his chance. Mooney earned a lot on his own like taking over the policy rackets in Chicago. Mooney was a great leader.his men loved him and they were all very suucessful. He had the whole god damn F.B.I. ON HIS BACK. Very DIFFICULT for anyone to deal with. He did the best he could about it.
Mooney fell in love with Phyllis McGuire. Not the worst thing a man has ever done.
I'm sure Carlo Gambino and Tommy Lucchese had the whole FBI on their backs too. They kept a low profile and didn't date any celebrities. Giancana fell in love with more than McGuire. You left out his relationships with Marilyn Monroe and Judith Exner. He was the John Gotti of his time.
Low-profile is a made guy in Italy,dressed as peasant,in some small villiage growin tomatoes,far away from the cities,flooding whole countires with drugs,prostitues and god knows what else.In the U.S.(except chicago maybe),well theres a funny sayin by Joey Cantalupo "When your made,the whole world knows your made"
