Absolute horseshit. Junior was an active member all the way up until he became a rat in 2005. This has already been verified through recorded conversations between captains and other made members at that time. What is confusing people is that when Junior suspected he was being recorded, he would often tell people he was out. The idea was to manufacture evidence in order to prepare for your next legal battle. This is nothing new. Joey Merlino has been doing this forever. Vinny Basciano did it too

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
