Didn’t each family have a representative to handle the gas scam for each family? Pretty sure Joe Glitz Galizia was the rep for the west side. Maybe the Bonanno’s didn’t have anyone since they didn’t have a seat on the commission at the time. Who was the rep for the Gambinos?
I thought the Lucchese’s and Colombo’s were in on it the most. How envious were the bigger families like the Genovese and Gambino’s? Casso has said that the gas scam made him more money than drugs ever did. Franzese allegedly made millions a week. If the American mafia could keep finding rackets that earned like this then they could’ve really stuck to their model of making money and doing business without having to sell drugs.
