And yes, according to Bill Bonanno, the topic of narcotics was mentioned at the meeting. But JB respectfully but firmly told the Sicilian bosses "Bonanno will not deal in drugs".
I respect both of you two,Harry and Sonny as older members of this forum and as few of the members here that are interested in history and know a lot of stuff,but im goin to say this.....we can only speculate what happend with the Bonanno plot....but im sure for only one thing that the biggest problem in this plot was the heroin connection...Bonanno was one(if not the biggest)of the players in the heroin ring and that is the reason why all these conflicts and stories are floating today.....by the way the Bonanno family is known as the heroin family,and wheres the drugs biz,theres a lot of conflicts....just look at the mexicans or the black gangsters?!
Believe it or not, Toddo. But I´ m glad to see you post on here again! :-)
As for the Bonanno thing,my view is that both JB and Bill were gangsters to the bone,maybe Bill not so much as for JB...no comment...so i dont take the word written on a book from gangster(belive me he wont write bad things for himself),but thats just my opinion but the Bonanno book helped one "crime" family,and thats the the feds,so i dont think that this was just by accident.JB was a proud member of the commision so he wouldnt have let his image get destroyed.cheers
