FWIW...members of the EP Crew and the Cicero Crew are more frequently seen socializing together in public at places like Capri, so it's even possible that instead of a 26th/cicero crew and an EP/Grand crew....we have something totally different.
That sort of goes to my point. It seems more and more we're seeing guys thought to be with different crews together. As the Outfit's world gets smaller, it makes sense they would consolidate and streamline even more. After all, when you have a max of 15 identified made members - all of them senior citizens and several inactive - how likely is it they can even staff four separate crews at this point?

Sorry to break it to everyone but the current guys in the Cicero crew are not very accepted by guys in the other crews, and never have been. Everyone thought Sarno was a fat tub of lard that looked like a slob. The only crew that really accepted him was his own.
Its just how it is.
Your clothing critique aside, at least one informant had Sarno higher in chain of command than Caruso, who it was alleged kicked up money to Sarno. And Sarno, if I remember right, was said by the same source(s) to be kicking up money to Elmwood Park. So I'm not sure he was as isolated as you're making it sound.
