Does anyone know specific rackets or businesses of the Arizona crew?
Only Joe's two idiot sons, got involved with a few stupid criminal acts. But all in all, it was over for them! (whatever connections Joe still had and whatever he may have done separately was just that, separate from any crew activity per se).
When I watch Bill Bonanno talk like a tough guy, I just laugh...Like Junior Gotti, without his old man, he'd be nothing
I agree Bill was a lousy mobster. But I do respect him for one thing. Like alot of guys, he was really only there trying to protect his father. Obviously it's always about money at the end of the day but on a human level, I think alot of the bloodline guys also have this as a motivation. That's an often over looked aspect of what's really going on
I think Santo Trafficante Jr. was the true inspiration for Michael Corleone rather than Bill Bonanno. Also, did Big Paulie Castellano have any interaction with the Bonanno family pre-1964? If so, in what rackets and with whom?
