Well, Accardo wasn't cheap with his men, Auippa wasn't too bad, it was mainly Cerone. Cerone held down Marco. Marco didn't get made until Cerone went to jail in 1986. Johnny made him.
Also, When Willie Messino went to jail for 7 years in 1970, Cerone didn't do much for him either.
Mooney really disliked Cerone. When some of the Taylor St men would see Cerone somewhere, they imitated their Boss out of loyalty and would barely nod their head to recognize him.
They knew that at any time, anyone of them could be called upon to kill Cerone.
Cerone basically ruled the Elmwood Park crew with a shotgun pointed at his head from Taylor St. If it had not been for Accardo,...... you can guess the rest.
