I've heard that one before and find it absurd knowing what we now know. Rastelli was the official boss of the family and Bonanno was persona non grata with no power out in Arizona. Probably just a made up story by people back in the day who thought Bonanno was once "boss of bosses".

Lots of great info on this thread. Thanks guys.
