"unofficially" many guys were. But officially both Joe and his son Bill were outcasts and persona non grata.

(Also, I don't believe for one split second that Joe Bonanno was "consulted" either before, or after, the hit on Galante. What the fuck did they care about what Bonanno thought at that point in time?). He was old news and amounted to nothing in CN at that point for many years already. He was a non-entity by then.
