It was at the '85 Christmas Party that Scarfo turned on Chuckie Merlino.Shortly after Christmas '85 he met with Genovese higher-ups to seek their blessing on installing his nephew as Underboss.As I stated in my original posting,I wasn't sure,but apparently the Nicky Skins tapes confirmed that Scarfo did preside at Ligambi's ceremony.I can't remember which of the books about Philly I was reading where it was said that Scarfo was gonna hold off for a while.Leonetti also mentions in his book that Ligambi and Scarfo were cellmates for a time when they were all on trial.I just wasn't sure if Ligambi was made in '85/'86 or when he came home in the 90's.
