According to him they were "kids there who was with Frank Luciano" one called JoJo.
Later on in his testimony, Valachi lists several members who were initiated by Scalice. These include Jimmy Squillante, Jerry Mancuso, Aniello "Wahoo" Mancuso, "ch*nk" Leo, Frank Rocci, Tony the Geep, Mike the Geep, Carmine Camarado, Jimmy Ward, Salvatore Bonfrisco, Jojo and Dudu. Valachi indicates they all paid $40,000 to become members. He also says that some paid with their business and then never saw their business again.
I thought it was 100k a year for the rights to Boston not 100k a month, but maybe I'm wrong
No,was 100k a month.
What is the source on that? Doesn't that just mean he was an earner?
