pmac, thank you I forgot about that. Bonventre walked out on Rastelli during a sit down, I believe involved Bonventre and a few other zip in an old method of payment by kidnapping other mobsters in the other families. The other families were getting tired of paying the ransoms and found out Cesare was behind the kidnappings and demanded Phil put a stop to it. Bonventre was very arrogant during that sit down. The antics of Cesare and the heavy involvement of drugs by the Bonanno crime family showed the other bosses who sat on the commission, that Phil was not in control of his family. They recognized Rastelli as boss, but denied him a seat on the commission cause he could not get his own men in line.
