Nicolo Rizzuto is in a gray area, but Vito is a made member of the bonannos, why would they be intiated members of Rizzuto Manno family, they founded their own family called the Rizzuto crime family, they were already made in the Bonnanos when they started doing their own things, which later became independent of the Bonannos
Nick Sr. was a made member of the Sicilian Mafia and recognised and accepted into the Bonanno family. I suspect this was also the case with his son Vito, although he may have been 'made' into the Bonanno family before or after he participated in the killing of the three capos.
