They propose to BF Guerra to be made but he refused because he made more money as associate and be made would comort more feds attention and another people who want your money.


He was also direct with the acting boss (Little Allie Boy) in the 1990s so it's not like getting made would be particularly beneficial to his career unless he was aspiring for leadership himself. I assume you're referencing this article Fur: https://nypost.com/2011/10/31/la-cosa-nostra/

But, we know he didn't outright refuse it like Joseph Petillo did. Guerra was scheduled to be inducted in December 2010, so we know there was no outright refusal. This tape-recorded statement from B.F. when he was talking to Tommy McLaughlin seems to sum up his feelings:
"I don't know. Sometimes I scratch my head and say, 'I wonder if it's even fucking worth it.' But what I am gonna do?"
