Hi AG. I remember you from another forum, but can´t remember the name of it. It was Eric Ferrara´s site. It´s closed down now.

Gallos were actually close with Tony Bender. They often frequented bars and clubs in Greenwich village, Bender´s domain. There were rumors that Tony Bender, probably because power had went to his head (being the acting boss at the time) encouraged the Gallo´s rebellion against their boss Profaci. I think it was Bender who offered to speak for them in front of the Commission when they kidnapped the four Profaci underlings. So they were pretty close.

Welcome aboard!
