I don't believe Gambino ever killed someone. It was a widespread rumor. He and Paul never made their bones.


I think Bonanno might very well have killed someone during the roaring 20s. I find it hard to believe that he rose to number 2 in Maranzano's outfit at such a young age without proving himself first. Back in those days murdering someone mattered. Today it's all about making money.

It's also said that Gambino carried out hits for local Mafia bosses in Palermo before he went to New York. He was said to have made his bones and become inducted in Sicily.
