the dead friend of vito Genovese buster ardito was caught on a bug 2004 talking to his lawyer friend pete peluso something about joe bonanno being or trying to be boss of bosses. joe held all the power circa 1960. vito went to jail, Gambino just getting started, profici had the smallest family, luchese we just don't know much about and joe planting flags everywhere.
Someone posted FBI files from maryferrell, and from them it seemed like from at least the early 60's Maggadino was against Bonanno. I've got nothing to base this on other than Maggadinos clear hatred for Joe in these docs that, Buffalo were teamed with the Gambinos and Luchesses, also possibly the Genovese i'm not clear on their situation at the time.
