Hoodlum: I guess it was years and years of Testa covering for him and then when Bruno was putting the clamps on the guys earning for years.

Testa was truly a underboss he actually ran the family back in late 50's maybe early 60's while Bruno was down in the Caribbean setting up rackets with other families and you can bet that was not being shared. The Philly family was not very structured back then Bruno ran it lose and lose is not $$$ for the guys.

Many don't know Bruno wanted to be a skipper only and he wanted to be in south Florida, he was pushed to run Philly (I guess pushed not to hard cos he took it)and was a kinda of a outsider.
