"...he still charged all of his guys dues long after other families abandoned them."
What do you mean by that, Binnie?
in the book "joey" by Donald goddard, joey gallo complained the profaci charged all of his men 25 dollars a month dues, both gallo. and jr.persico were going to revolt because of profacis cheapness,
in the book persico had a score of 2000 dollars, he was going to kick up to profaci, he went to a captain and the captain took all but 200 dollars which he gave to persico. jr. was outraged, and joined gallo's revolt.
only to switch sides a short time later. joey is a great book about joey gallo.
