Rudaj's guy's pulled shotguns on some Gambino's at an attempted sit down. One also pointed a shotgun as a gas tank threatening to kill everyone there. Pretty sure whoever was street boss at the time was there.
Gambino leader Arnold Squitieri had had enough and wanted a talk with these rogue mobsters. The “sit down” took place at a gas station in a rest area near the New Jersey turnpike. Squitieri did not come alone. Twenty armed Gambino mobsters accompanied their boss. Alex Rudaj on the other hand had only managed to bring six members of his crew. According to undercover FBI agent Joaquin Garcia, who infiltrated the Gambino Crime Family during this period, Squitieri told Rudaj that the fun was over and that they should stop expanding their operations. The Albanians and Gambinos then pulled out their weapons. Knowing they were outnumbered the Albanians threatened to blow up the gas station with all of them in it. This ended the discussion, and both groups pulled back.
Rudaj muscled the greeks that payed the Lucchese for protection,he understand that he would touch a made man would be whacked,on the streets and even in prison.
