Vinny Gorgeous when he was acting Boss was supposedly strip searching everyone for meetings, high ranking capos included which supposedly made them all angry at Basciano. Even though what he did was totally genius and the right thing to do. So many rats now a days that the Bonanno big wigs should have welcomed Vinny Gorgeous going the extra mile to try and avoid rats and wires.

As for the Carlo Gambino never was caught on tape etc etc if RICO had been used prior to Funzi Tieri while Don Carlo was still alive trust me he would have died in a cell. Hell, Antonio Corallo was nicknamed Tony Ducks because he was always ducking indictments and prison time and even he died in prison.

In order for Cosa Nostra to survive they are going to have to adapt...maybe like adopting some of the practices of the Chicago outfit and give people positions based on merit and not just last name.
