A dozen or so men, still loyal to JB during the Bananas war, got out. That was part of the agreement JB made with the Commission. No one bought their way out. And there was no Bonanno crew operating in Arizona after the war. Many of the guys listed above, if not retired, ended up with different LCN Families. Battaglia, for example, ended up with the LA Family. And guys who originally operated out of San Francisco and San Jose, who had previously been Bonanno members, transfered to the Families located in those areas. JB was out of Cosa Nostra the same day he left New York.
