Speaking of Scott, he says that Cataudella recently replaced Indendino as official underboss FWIW.
Indendino was responsible for one of the funniest wiretaps I've ever heard. From the guy who answers instinctively knowing exactly who "Motherfucker" is supposed to be to the weirdly friendly "bye bye" at the end, this thing is just hilarious.
That wiretap has been played over and over in east coast series - anyone who grew up on the east coast immediately knows thats a chicago accent he's also got a bit of of the italian quip there too that is interesting - I have to assume Inendino heard that multiple times in his later years as it became more popular and was used on that Netflix show.
It sounds like he knows he's going to jail and I know he was indicted in 1978 for a large juice scheme - was this a court record from that same case? He was indicted alongside Paloian, Frank Butera and his brother Sam Inendino from what I'm reading here - anyone know if Sam is still alive? I know he has a son with the same name but just curious. This guy was a real deal gangster - especially for Chicago where there aren't as many 'street guys' still around.

And fwiw, I don’t recall him ever pointing out actual interactions with them as LE, only vague innuendos. My guess is he never actually has and is just trying to be a big shot. Which is sad because he’s way too old to be needing that kind of attention.
No, the guy has lots of stories he could tell. He's seen a lot of bad things on the street so has no respect for mobsters.

What kind of stories if you don’t mind me asking. I have never seen him tell an actual story about any Outfit guy. Just insults. Not saying these guys are saints but some of them were decent people that just got into the wrong line of work. I’m guessing he was a county guy bc I never heard of him working for CPD and I know a lot of CPD guys. That being said, there are a lot of bad stories about law enforcement from that era and he never mentions that.

I've seen it misidentified as Tommy Agro about a dozen times online.

I think he did work for Cook County, maybe in 1970s and 80s if I recall (he's using an old photo). He told me some stories a few years ago so I'd have to search for them. Yes, he does troll, but I assume that reflects his bad experiences with these guys. He only experienced them as thugs and killers.
Just saw an ABC7 FBI report that states Jimmy I was an informant for the FBI in the 1960s and 1970s. Will post link when it goes up on the website. This could be one of the FBI unknown informants the FBI was talking about in the late 2000. I will say I am very shocked about this. Jimmy I was considered old school and very respected across the USA. And he did time. Wonder if this is a smear job by the FBI that they are known to to like they did for that Gambino underboss

It says he gave info on "truck hijackings" in the late 60s and mid-70s. It doesn't specify if he gave any info past that time period, though.

Yeah sounds like it was just limited to hijackings and was way before he was made
he's also got a bit of of the italian quip there too that is interesting - I have to assume Inendino heard that multiple times in his later years as it became more popular and was used on that Netflix show.
