He had some pull, atleast with the Dragnas. One time a jewish wiseguy by the name of Russian Louie Strauss tried to shakedown his Vegas casino in the 1950s and he went to Jack Dragna ) to do something about it in exchange for a 25% peice of the casino (as a testiment to how weak the Dragnas were, Binion welched on the deal and Fratianno had to make him pay up years later).

Once Struass arrived in L.A. for a sitdown he was taken to a house where he was going to "wait for Jack Dragna", instead he was strangled by Jimmy Fratianno and Frank Bompensiero shortly after he arrived. The weirdest part about that hit was that a bunch of other Dragna guys showed up specifically to watch the hit go down for sick kicks.
