Sep 1992 ceremony [5 inducted]:
Biagio Adornetto
Michael Ciancaglini
Joseph Merlino
Gaeton Lucibello (probable)
Joseph Massimino (probable)
Did Joseph Massimino jump over to the Merlino faction during the war? Or did he just fall in line and get close to Uncle Joe after the fact?
I've never understood why Stanfa would make then quickly promote guys to the administration. There wasn't anyone else that he some what trusted in the family? Pagano and Martines just seem like odd choices.
Massimino was in prison from early-1993, before the war really started, to mid-1998 so he didn't have a chance to switch while he was on the street. However, he was observed meeting with Merlino in 1992 and it was decided that Lucibello and Turchi would take over a gambling operation of Massimino's when he went to prison so I think it's safe to assume that, had he been on the street, Massimino would have sided with Merlino like Lucibello and to a lesser extent Turchi.
