In no particular order ,
Carmine Persico - obvious one: spent half his childhood/teenage years in fights and shootouts, spent half his adult life in the can. been able to maintain control over the colombos through it all. plus if half the shit they say is true, him spitting out bullets and all that... well...
Nicky Corozzo - Went away on a pair of murders he (allegedly) had nothing to do with so a bunch of guys could stay out or cop to light plea deals. Plus since he's so short im guessing he could scrap in his younger years
Scarpa Sr. - mean son of a bitch, probably borderline psychopathic
Tony Frederici (sp) - dunno much about the guy but you dont get the nickname Tough Tony for nothin
Basciano - powerhouse on the street, been getting shitted on for the better half of a decade by the government/prison system. what hes been through would break or drive someone to suicide. and through it all he still looks like hes 35
I think the G-man had it in for anyone who was at The Infamous Bono Wedding and Basciano was the last on the list although I think he was there like Paulie was at the Corleane wedding 'Paulie More Wine!"
what is the infamous Bono wedding?
I think Bono was a banker of some sort who was involved with the Sicilian faction of the Bonanno Family. At his wedding in New York in 1981, many Bonanno mobsters showed up. And they were all taking pictures. When the FBI and FBN started to investigate the Pizza Connection, they used these pictures to identify the players.
Salvatore Catalano, who was the top dog, was in Sicily at the time and didn´t attend the wedding. For a moment (without even knowing it I guess) he managed to escape under the radar. But in the end they were all caught anyway.
Basciano was there, Giaccone, Trinchera and many others who associated with the Sicilians were there. Bonventre, Amato, the Montreal crew...
The pictures connected them to eachother.
