Vincent Palermo was actually found in my city, Houston, Texas, living in a gated mansion. He packed up and left once the media revealed who he was. So technically he was the first boss to flip, before Joseph Massino. What a shame, all because they're afraid of doing time.
Palermo was in a ruling panel with Girolamo Palermo and Charles Majuri.The first acting boss to flip was Angelo Lonardo in 1983.
