Steven Crea also has a table at Rao's.
Baratta & his son beefed with Crea over it.
"I don't know what the hell's going on out there but I'll tell you one thing, they're all going to get pinched if they want to have sit-downs over issues like this." - Barney Bellomo (from prison)
And just as an aside: I think that's from the fallout from the Buster tapes up in New Rochelle. Right, Ivy?
Think about this for a minute: It really was dumb luck that he stumbled upon that wire under the table. A fidgety old man fumbling around and he accidentally found the wire, and it set off a chain reaction of paranoia.
Point being, everyone goes on and on about the Westside being the sharpest and most secretive (and I'm the first one to agree with that assessment). But if Buster didn't get fidgety that day, the Genovese family could well be in as much trouble as everyone else today.
When you're good, you tend to get lucky. That's how I see it, anyway.
