I've often found it ironic that the Bonannos got thrown off the Commission (supposedly) because of drug activity,yet the Commission OK'd the hit on Galante because he was trying to monopolize the narcotics trade without cutting the other Families in.


I think he was killed becuse of the narcotics trade, and for bringing in Sicilians. Did Joe Pistone's and Massino's version of why Galante was killed match up?
i also remember hearing a story that he killed a bunch of gambino guys(not sure if they were made) to help soldify his position in the drug trade. If its true im sure it was another reason why he was taken out.


i thought he killed a bunch of genovese guys?? can anyone straighten this out?
