Gotti. He knew everybody in his family and the rising stars who were associates at the time, He probably knew EVERY member in the Bonanno, Colombo, Genovese and Lucchese crime families. He had a connection with every administration in probably every crime family in the United States. If he ratted then all the families would be on their knees right now.
he DEF didnt know every made guy in nyc, he didnt even know every single made guy in his own family, especially since he had been boss a relatively short time. It is quite common among Bosses to not know every single made guy, when the bonannos passed around lists of their deceased made guys to other families for approval they used to make up names and use ones from the phonebook cause nobody in the other families will know every single made guy.
