At the time of the three captains' murders, Lino was acting captain for Bruno Indelicato. The day after the killings, Lino was called to a meeting in Howard Beach with Massino, George Sciascia, Dominick Napolitano, Salvatore Ferrugia, Nicholas DiStefano, and Joseph Zicarelli. Lino was told they would leave him as acting captain of the crew if he could get everyone else to come in (he was not made official captain until a few years later). Lino contacted Joseph D'Amico, who got everyone to come in apart from Bruno and JB Indelicato.

When the contracts expired on Bruno and JB, they were called to a Commission meeting with Ferrugia, Massino, and Stefano Cannone, and the heads of the other families. JB and Bruno were given assurances that no harm would come to them if they came back in and they were given a list of captains to choose from. They both chose to join Massino's crew.

When Philip Rastelli got out of prison a couple of years later, he called Lino to a meeting and transferred Bruno to his crew. By the early 2000s, Bruno was under Anthony Graziano and assisted Vinny Basciano in the Frank Santoro murder without permision. When Massino later made Basciano a captain with a new crew, he put Bruno under him so he could keep an eye on them both.

In response to your earlier question, JB is 91.
