I'm not sure that Scarfo ever made Ligambi,the Frankie Flowers hit notwithstanding.Ligambi was very close to Chuckie Merlino and I've read that right around the time Scarfo was gonna make him,he held off because he'd turned on the Merlino brothers by then and felt that Ligambi was too close to/loyal to them.There was no follow-up discussion of this in any other books/articles I've read,but Phil Leonetti does speak highly of Joe Ligambi in his book,so I guess it's possible.If not,someone must've made it official sometime after the reign of the despotic dwarf.
