Apparently, Frank Coppa wasn't the first made Bonanno member to go bad. Bonanno members Joseph Notaro & Salvatore Giglio were also rats like 5 decades before. Notaro gave up Giglio & Giglio gave up Galante:
"Sal Giglio was located through Bonanno loyalist, Joe Notaro. He was also known as Galante’s messenger and a Captain in his own right. After locating little Sal, FBN agent Marty Pera appeared at his home with a photograph of his 1957 wedding photo to another woman. Agent Pera promised not to reveal the marriage to Giglio’s wife, who was in the kitchen, for Galante’s whereabouts. Sal gave in, and then returned to drug smuggling."

Where is that from? I never heard of Notoro being a snitch, there is an effort lately to put him down on different websites. The above sounds like a wannabe FBI agents fantasy.
