I think Valachi is as credible as anyone else. I'm reading Bill Bonanno now. He says that because Valachi was a low level guy, that he had no clue what was going on around him. Then this same Bonanno says that Cosa Nostra formed in America because Sicilians felt discrimination in America. That's not the truth and he should know it because his family as well as the Corleonesi came through Ellis Island mobbed up from head to toe.
I read the Valachi Papers long ago. But isn't it true that the library version is the redacted record and not the whole affidavit he gave to law enforcement. That stuff is top secret, no?
"For us, rubbin'out a Mustache was just like makin' way for a new building, like we was in the construction business."
