I got frustrated because the document didn´t name them!
It also stated that there were talks between Stefano Magaddino and representatives from the Commission about these 20 made members would be absorbed into the Buffalo Family after the "Bananas War". This never happened though.


Could you retrieve that document?


I´ll see if I can find it...


Sonny, I finally found the FBI document saying the Montreal faction of the Bonannos are supposed to go to Magaddino and the Arizona faction to LA. I actually stumbled upon it.
It seems to me that the Commission discussed breaking up the Bonanno Family into pieces during the initial phase of the Bonanno intra Family struggle. No wonder why Magaddino was so keen on seing the Bonanno Family chopped up, because it would have given him additional 100 guys under his command...according to DeCavalcante.
Of course, we know this never happened but apparently the subject of breaking up the Bonannos was brought up at the table during a Commission meeting.
