You are all looking at the smartest La Cosa Nostra Boss ever in history. He was AL Capone's successor of the Chicago Outfit and ran it as the true boss in the shadows until dying a free man who only did a few days in jail throughout his entire life.
He would switch who the Outfit would call the boss, yet he was always still the boss. The front bosses that rotated in like Sam Giancana, Joey Aiuppa, and Jack Cerone all either died or ended up in prison to die. But not Tony Accardo aka Joe Batters!!!
Tony is the mafia king. He was probably even more powerful than Carlo Gambino.

That's one gentleman who you don't dare burglarize his home😢

Tony Acardo is the definition of laying low. Only pictures law enforcement have of him is from court. That's how you stay out of prison. All those other pictures is from his circle of friends, which mostly likely came out after his death...A boss then did it right and well!

“In 1978, while Accardo vacationed in California, burglars entered his River Forest home. Shortly afterwards, the three suspected thieves and four related persons were found strangled and with their throats cut. Law enforcement officials believed Accardo had ordered the killings in retaliation for the burglary. In 2002, this theory was confirmed on the witness stand by Outfit turncoat Nicholas ‘Nicky Slim’ Calabrese, who had participated in all of the murders. Each was found with his throat cut; one was castrated and disemboweled, his face removed with a blow torch, a punishment imposed, presumably, because he was Italian and should have known better.” -Chicago Tribune
