Valachi was living in Yonkers at the time of his last arrest. Cockeyed Nick Rattenni was the Genovese power in Westchester County at that time, and Valachi could barely give them anything on the guy. And he lived in his own backyard. That's very telling.

Cockeyed Nick was on Bobby Kennedy's personal hit list. He was mentioned in Kennedy's book "The Enemy Within," as Frank Cosetello's closest friend, or some bullshit like that (but they WERE very close).

Point being, the Feds would have delighted in putting him away. That Valachi didn't really name him speaks volumes. And it wasn't out of loyalty, it was because Valachi was kept at arm's length from Nick and his crew.

In my opinion, the Feds put AT LEAST half of Valachi's testimony in his mouth.
