This addresses two major personal concerns about the boys old and new.

Newer or younger (length of membership) guys are more likely to cross the aisle, right? Seems intuitive for a host of reasons.

But re the topic question: Who's the oldest (age) to have flipped? Be interesting to see a table of turncoats by chronological age.

Maybe George Barone, who testified a few years ago in a case regarding waterfront.
He may not have been made member.

Then there is the fellow Tony Zerelli, testifying now on Hoffa killing in Detroit. He is 85 years old.

While not the oldest Angelo Lonardo had been active in the Cleveland mob from 1929 after avenging his fathers death until 1983 before turning.

Wasn't he highest ranking member to ever turn at that time?

Yeah you're right he was underboss and i think he'd been acting boss at one point too.

Alot of cleveland guys thought he should of been boss instead of licavoli.imagine if he would have been boss all that time and flipped.

Frankie Pentangeli looked pretty old .
