Remember in Goodfellas when Paulie told Henry to "stay away from da garbage"?
That was funny because Paulie was a drug trafficker too.
The real rule was don't deal unless you have the permission of the boss. You can't tell me that Carlo Gambino and Paul Castellano didn't know the Cherry Hill Gambinos were dealing. Most of the Bonanno bosses were dealing. Most of the top Lucchese guys were dealing.
