I think he was right there. I think that was his real name and he changed it to Brooklier later on.

As for Jimmy and Roselli and Chicago not liking Jimmy, I wonder if that started once Roselli started having his issues with the JFK ordeal? It seems he had dealings with Trafficante too and he knew more about the JFK hit (wasn't he close to Momo at one point too?) than he should have.

I'm just spitballing here and enjoy the convo.

Jimmy Regace was also a nickname. His birth name is Domenico Brucceleri. Interesting about Fratianno's falling out with the Outfit. Since the Outfit got rid of Roselli, Fratianno's relationship with them probably soured too. Roselli was Fratianno's link to the Ouftut.
