Hey guys. I'm going to keep this pretty short and simple. Tonight I went to find out who the St Louis Crime Family bosses were before Tony Giordano took over. Plenty reputable sources say that at some point, Thomas Buffa was the Boss, while they were still answering to Kansas City. Same thing, over and over again, not really up for debate. However, I also knew (and read again) that Buffa was murdered in Lodi, California for taking the witness stand against Kansas City gangsters.

To make things short wouldn't this make him the first made informant to become a government witness? And Valachi the second? Thanks.
