They had the first 2 made guys to flip from the nyc 5. Valachi then cafaro in 86. Like someone said they mke young guys. I think it come down to how much clout the capo in the family has. The guy anthony a from springfield did a hit for nigro the guy survived but he liked it and made him 3 months later. Anthony said it was on hos 34th birthday or it was his kids bday. But he was real young fliped 7 yrs later.
Actually they had a guy flip much earlier than that. Salvatore Clemente began informing as a confidential source (he never testified) from around 1903 until the 1920s. He is a biggest source of information on the early Mafia in the United States years before Joe Valachi and Nick Gentile.
Rafaele Daniello and Antonio Notaro were two early guys who flipped and gave testimony in late 1910. But they were both camorristas, members of the Camorra. There was also Bartolomeo Fontana, who was member of the Good Killers Gang, he gave testimony against Stefano Magaddino and other Mafia members of the early Castellammarese Family in New York. Fontana cleared up several murders the gang was involved in. But it´s unclear if he was an actual member of the Family.
