Another question and maybe its should be in another thread but, where did the stark loyalty to Rusty Rastelli stem from? I just don't see him as a powerhouse, was it out of fear or mainly the dislike of Galante?


It was never stated. But it was said that he had a close personal association with Joe Bonanno himself in the early decades so who knows. Maybe Bonanno himself brought him in.

I questioned that myself since Cannone was SO close to Di Palermo, who in turn was best buddies with Galante. Obviously there was a falling out along the way for him to back Rastelli.

If I had to take a guess seeing that he had a relationship to Bonanno directly, but switched sides apparently, Mike Sabella. Maybe Joe Notaro.
