So by 1980, Tommy Bilotti was a Capo.

But what crew did he originate from?

Who was Capo before him?

Nino Gaggi commanded the crew Paul once was skipper of, and outside of Roy and his boys, Nino’s crew was mostly older guys

So, Tommy B was Capo of a separate crew from the Gaggi/Castellano crew. But whose? Who did he come up under?

Who worked for Tommy B?

He doesn’t seem to have entered the inner circle of the Gambinos until the early early 80s either.

When Paul became Boss in 1976, Nino was still his right hand man.
