Jim Rini, “defacto dad?”

It has been claimed that Rini was “defacto dad” to Bo after his uncle Aliven died in 1958. He knew Alvin and even mentions him in this article. He does not mention Bo….the supposed apple of his eye. If he knew Bo, and had already talked about Alvin I would think he would give a little shout to him? This article says otherwise with the dates this man was in prison. He was in prison most of Bo’s younger life after Alvin’s passing. He was also a “Crime Syndicate enforcer” for a time with pinball scams. He was not in the Chicago Outfit, just a low level thug for the syndicate. I follow quite about about these crime families both in Chicago and New York. Rini and Boubede have never even had a slight mention anywhere I can find.
Here’s an interesting interview with Rini.
