Ivy do you think that even the Patriarca family must ask to the genoveses for induct men ?

I know that patriarca sr kept the other families out of his territory but after him maybe the things changed.


I don't recall any specific cases of New England vetting their new members with New York. But the Genovese family selected who the new boss would be in the late 1980s if I remember right. The Gambinos, under Gotti, also told them to reign it in during their internal fighting.

Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
