Billy they had the seat because Magaddino was the cousin of Joe Bonanno.
I don't agree on this one Fur, Maggadino was a power in his own right.
Bonanno wasn't that powerful at all when the Commission was created in 1931. He was very young and probably the least powerful boss at that time. I think it was more the other way around, Bonanno was made boss of the Castellamarese after Maranzano died because of Maggadino's influence.
