I will refer to my uncle-in-law as LUI

(oh, my fathers brother married LUI's sister)

First story,

LUI's uncle 'B' (not a real criminal, just an Italian doing the numbers, who happens to have a loving nephew who is a criminal) is setting up in Queens. At the same time Pete DeFeo is reclaiming Queens and goes to shake down 'B'. 'B' is scared excretionless and holes up in a safe house. LUI says this ain't happening so he goes to DeFeo's house. LUI said they(Defeo and his crew) made a 'federal case' out of it and "Went to "Benny Eggs" who went to the underboss and to Benny... They wanted to kill me (laughs)."

So, who is Benny Eggs?
and the higher-up Benny, I'm guessing that would be Philip Lombardo (Benny Squint)?
I'm thinking since DeFeo was a Capo and was taking this drama to the higher ups I would think the highest 'Benny' in this ladder (he said 'all the way to Benny') that it is not Beneditto Aloi
