What reason would he have had to bring up Joe Bonanno? He was long removed from the New York Mafia scene.
As long as Carmine Galante was around, Joe Bonanno was involved in some kind of way.... the feds were checking his trash. It's plausible that Pistone was made to pry information. I've always been curious what the words on the streets within the NY Bonannos about Joe during the 70s. I know generally it was bad but everyone couldn't have thought he was a bad guy/Boss.
Bonanno was allegedly informed of the Galante hit. The has never been an actual connection (who) made but I have a few ideas why.....
