In one of Micheal Franzese’s interviews; He said that Gigante summoned him to a meeting and asked him did he want to join the Genovese’s. He also told Mike Franzese that he hated Persico; and that he was no good.

There was definitely some animosity....

I wish we knew more about Persico’s time on the street from 1979-1981......

No one seems to know anything about those 2-3 years...
