That's a great article and that could be a real solid educated guess. Though when did Gotti go to prison?

Yes supposedly Solly D did time with Gambinos or something, but I've no idea who they were or really any details on that...would love to know how those east coast guys view the Chicago guys and whether someone like Steve Crea or Cefalu are aware of John DiFronzo (Family Secrets trials were covered in NY so I wonder whether they read that shit). Frank Calabrese and his son served time with some NE Patriarca guys including Ray Jr. Calabrese also did time with Angelo Lutz and a few Philly guys.

Mags was actually visiting Jackie Cerone on a weekly basis when he was locked up in the late 80s. Mags was about 25 at the time and became Cerone's eyes and ears on the street because he didn't trust anyone else (rightfully so because everyone hated Cerone).
