This episode covers Corallo's life from the late 50s to the early 70s including his rise as a powerful figure in labor unions alongside Johnny Dio, various legal issues he faced, business matters he tended to around the world and the aftermath of leadership following the death of boss Tommy Lucchese.
I'm also wondering if anyone can help me figure out who the murdered man mentioned at 19:16 could possibly be?

When Tony Ducks was demoted? It was Benny Indiviglio, a major pusher in the dope trade for Carmine T. There are a fewo stories about it. Tony Ducks would have been killed, but it was Joe Lucchese and another guy who saved Corallo. One story is a sitdown took place where there was a beef on Benny from the Bonanno family against Joe Bonanno, and the Gambino family on Indiviglio being to close had helping members of Joe's faction in some way. Carmine was supposed to show up and never did, so Corallo, Joe Lucchese, and another Capo showed up. Another story is that Benny was dealing on territory that he was warned countless time on not to deal there. Same players of the Lucchese family were there, but it was the Genovese and a zip this time. Lastly a beef was made that Indiviglio was sleeping with a members wife. Regardless the story, Corallo never got the ok from Thomas Lucchese to kill Benny, but the fact that Tony ducks was spared and only suffered demotion is a testament that Thomas Lucchese and other high ranking members in the families thought highly of Corallo. This happened in 65' and Carmine T waited till the summer of 66 to bring this up, most likely means he did not care for Indiviglio, but used his death to his advantage.

Wow!! Talk about hitting the nail on the head, thank you for your detailed response! This more than answers my question. I believe my search for the answer fell short because I assumed that Gribbs would have brought up the issue to the commission soon after the murder but now this explains why I couldn't find anything relevant from that time frame since it happened in 1965.
Not many people are aware that Corallo was actually demoted to soldier at any point in his career and some have questioned that part of my video, I took that story straight from an FBI file but could not name the murdered person responsible for his demotion. Now I can! Thanks again.
