I thinkTesta was just throwing him a bone after doing a bid probably Testa and Bruno were getting money from before he got pinched or just for being a member with good connections in NY and the guy can keep his mouth shut .
I don’t think it had much to do with anything else other then being close with Bruno and he knew the rackets or in other words he knew the job .
WellTesta thought !
I also think that's much it plain & simple in a nutshell..a bone...just as Bruno had done w/ Caponigro by appointing him consig after Rugnetta passed.
Yeah because none of it makes any sense (Testa) had no grudges against Nick he actually had a relationship with him.
So it’s has to come down to money that was made for the family and he went away or he was a well connected member with tenure and in good standing .
