If I'm not mistaken, Joe Bonanno was given a pass because he was a founding member of the Commission. Otherwise he'd been been killed without a second thought for what he tried to pull.
Bonanno was not given a pass at all. During the Bananas war, there was a bullet with his name on it.
I thought he boasted about making Gambino shit his pants in Times Square when he gets out of the joint or something along those lines...
That particular info comes from Vincent Teresa, who´s known to have exaggerated his stories. At the end of the day, it never happened, did it?
He also had Costellos doors blown off their hinges on his mausoleum....That was a sick pup right there, signed his own death warrant.
It never happened. During my 30 years of research and interest in this thing we all find fascinating, I´ve never come across any evidence of Costello´s mausoleum doors been blown up by Galante. Many stories on Galante found on the net turns out to be without merit and/or vastly exaggerated. The authors of these stories are very happy to add rumors blown out of proportions, or flat out lies, to make their stories more explosive. If you guys know the story of Galante blowing up Costello´s mausoleum doors to be true, please post a link to a newspaper clipping (for example) describing the details.
