Bay Ridge baby!

#2 answer is NOT the Feds didn't wanna hear about 'the cops', it's that they didn't wanna hear about the FBI source Casso also claimed to have.

THAT is one of most interesting quetions re: Casso, Kaplan, Eppolito & Caracappa...

On the one hand, there's no evidence other than Casso, who's not exactly a fount of rectitude; on the other, Casso seems to have kept things fairly compartmentalized AND there are Feds working OC who have proven corruptible so...
