How did the Sicilians force the Bonannos and Gambinos to make all these zips into their families? It would appear that both sides were involved in bringing the zips over in order to establish the heroin distribution network so they could split the profits and the American born members could keep their hands clean of the junk while the bosses raked in the profits.
Far from all of them were made with an American Family and many of them were already made in Sicily. So the number of "zips" made with the New York Bonannos when the books were open in the 1970s is lower than we´d like to believe. I´m counting less than 10 "zips" were actually made. The Sicilians did not force the Bonannos to make these people. It´s impossible to pinpoint the exact date when each individual came over but it appears that the ones who were made, were the ones who came over in the 1960s. (Bonventre, Amato, Catalano, Navarra etc.) Not many (if any) of those who came over in the 1970s and who appears to have been sent over by the Sicilian bosses were actually made with the Bonannos.
