That's true, meaning Ive also seen reports that he was considered too young for that position by the rest of the Outfit, mainly because he was about to take control over one huge part of Pranno's old crew (Stone Park, Schiller Park, Franklin Park, Northlake, interests in Melrose Park and additional ops as far west as Elgin). All of the previously mentioned fellas once answered to Pranno, including DeChiaro, Amabile, Cervone, Ariola, Eboli etc., and possibly younger associates such as Lombardo, DeRosa and DeAngelis.Snakes wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 2:54 pm Eboli wasn't really respected or well-liked, at least when he was younger (late sixties, early seventies). Among other reasons, he did a little bookmaking at one point and stiffed some of his winning customers which obviously didn't go over well with some people. His age and position had something to do with it as well. I have a photo of him with a mustache but I think that file got corrupted. I'll post it if I can ever get it recovered.
When Nick Palermo was in charge of the sewer contracts around Northlake and Melrose Park, he kicked percentage both to Pranno and Battaglia. So it is quite possible that Eboli wasnt ready to take such a huge responsibility at the time, besides being the overseer of only two territories, and I doubt that he went on his own at the start, since he was probably advised by DeChiaro or maybe someone else
