He was def "in the outs" after his father was murdered. Someone I would like to know more about is his uncle Joseph Bruno Indelicato. It´s possible that he successfully got Bruno back on right track again. JB served as acting captain/official captain at some point some years ago and obviously had some pull with the top guys. And the fact that Basciano seems to have liked Bruno well enough to bring him back into good standing with the Bonannos, must have helped.
