J.C. most certainly did,his name was out there, he was put on the committee to pull the captains in on the no drug rule.that was if i remember from testimony 79 80..also being familiar with the street in that era it was around..bklyn and the bronx were new to that name.hanging with decicco and frankie loc among other younger up and comers made him known in the time frame.look who takes down paul..do you think that happened in 6 months that started in prisons..look at photos posted..gotti is in the middle looking like the guy. my opinion and what i know from late 70's early 80's bensonhurst and bronx.
