They got really lucky along the way, though. The feds didn't have them targeted in the Commission case since they had been removed by the other families and pretty much written off as an endangered species by the feds.
Same result anyways. Rastelli was convicted in 1986 and died in prison along with the other bosses. Nobody had Massino pegged as underboss at the time, so he likely would have skated on the case like the Genovese underboss at the time.
