The first time i remember reading about it they said it was high ranking Genovese, but your right DiLorenzo when you say others say that they were Gambino's. Seems kind of strange though that nobody can name one name let alone 8. No mention of it in any Galante related trials such as the pizza connection trial or any file, at least as far as i know.

All we know is someone started a rumor that Galante had 8 heroin guys hit. Only thing i can think of is if they were Gambino's maybe the supposed hits were on Gambino connnected zips but i really don't even believe that. Personally i think the story is bullshit, but if anyone can find any info on it i'd love to see it. I guess you never know, but until i see some kind of evidence of these murders i'll just agree with Ivy and chalk it up as a urban myth.
