It seems that Nick Caramandi must have come out of Northern NJ, around the Newark area.
Because in a book about him, in his own recorded words he says that he first started coming around to a private social club in Newark after he was invited by a few hoods he had met.
He also said he was nuts to get made. That once he was, he was forced to walk lock-step. He no longer could operate freely and missed out on many lucrative schemes such as drugs running, and other things because he was told not too. Worst move of his life as per his words.
Also, he was only straightened out "three years" before he flipped. And that was because he feared that "Nutty Nicky" would have him clipped like he'd seen Scarfo do to others.
So he ran to the fee-bees for protection. Scarfo had actually scared Caramandi straight into the arms of the feds. “ Nick Caramandi grew up on the streets of South Philadelphia, living in one of the thousands of two-story brick homes that are packed one next to another along a gridwork of narrow, congested streets that stretch across several square miles in the city’s southeast quadrant.â€

““I was with Mickey Diamond [Dominick DeVito] and Joe Rugnetta from about 1969. I musta been about thirty-one years old then. Mickey was a soldier and Joe Rugnetta was the consigliere with the Angelo Bruno family. In those days I really didn’t know what the Mafia was about. But word on the street was that I was a good hustler. An older guy I used to work with introduced me to Joe Rugnetta and Mickey Diamond. We made a deal with them that anything that we did we would give them a third of the profit in exchange for their protection. And that’s how I really got involved with the Mafia stuff, with Mickey Diamond and Mr. Joe.â€â€

Yes , he flipped because he believed Nicky was going to murder him.... He was led to believe this by Long John Martarano who himself was later murdered in January of 2002.
