The galante hit. His attempt to control the heroin trade and the use of zip factions to split the bonanno family set in motion the same destructive policies that were to shake the Sicilian families to their core with the rise of the corleonesi. The destructive and flashy attitudes, the huge amounts of money involved would draw the attention of law enforcement and lead to the new York families being brought to their knees, if not extincted then reduced to a lesser role.

I would not be surprised if a John gotti did not view the killing of galante with considerable interest given the events of December 1985.
