Frank DeCicco and Joey Piney. Piney was giving them good info, neutralize Joe Gallo, and Anthony Scotto. It was ultimately Franks tip about the meeting at Sparks Steakhouse, the respect he got from the other Gambino members and the muscle he had, which kept the other members of the family at bay. Had Joe N Gallo not make the speech he made at the meeting of the Capos on electing a Boss, with DeCicco and Gravano standing right behind Gotti showing their support, I think there would have been in attempt on Gotti a few days later. Many of the members respected and trusted Dellacroce, the same can not be said for Gotti, and that is where both DeCicco and Piney came in. The Bergin Crew activities had come to light, and nothing had been done about it, even when Gotti became boss, not even a slap on the wrist.
