"In 1980, the longtime Don of the Philadelphia crime family, Angelo "Gentle Don" Bruno, was shot and killed on March 12. This resulted in a huge power vacuum between prominent Bruno members Philip Testa and Nicodemo Scarfo, both fighting for the total control of the Bruno crime family. Accetturo and Taccetta, on the other hand, used their situation to establish a new foothold in Philadelphia, as a part of the Jersey Crew, with illegal gambling and loansharking operations. Unfortunately, because of the bad relations between the two factions in Philadelphia's crime family, as well as both Taccetta and Accetturo taking advantage of the situation, the relationship between Philadelphia and the New York Families, especially the Luccheses, eventually turned worse after the murder of Angelo Bruno, which led to all cooperation between the families being completely terminated. It was around this time that prominent Bruno member Giacomo "Jackie" DiNorscio, and many others, defected to the New Jersey faction of the Lucchese crime family to make more profit and to avoid being killed."

Does anyone have more details on how they capitalized in this power vacuum? Or any details on how Jackie DiNorscio switched sides?

Where did you get this excerpt from? A couple of misstated facts: Bruno was shot March 21 (probably a typo but just in case) and Testa and Scarfo were not adversaries but allies. Don't know too much on Jackie D. but I'm assuming that he was a part of the Philly family under Patty Specs and maybe did business with the Luccheses. He was a made man in the Bruno family. He got caught up in that big case with most of the Lucchese guys probably on account of the business he did with them. Being in North Jersey there is a good amount of cooperation betweeen families since each one has reps there. This is just a guess on my part. Being that whatever source you got this from has a couple errors I would double check the info you read with other sources.

P.S. Welcome to the board.

Jackie D was never made in Philadelphia his father Dominick was that's how he was able to switch over and I don't think the Lucchese family ever made him either
