buffalino was a very important guy. he had his own family for along ass time, and he was very successful. him being so hands on made it easy for the fbi to put his ass away because he wasnt insulated like the big families. i forgot what he got a federal bid for in the 80tys but it was pretty dumb. i read that old mary fer fbi file where a informant says (70tys) buffalino is acting boss of the genovese family but i think it was just poorly written report and the info probaly came from someone way down on the food chain. i think he was called into a genovese sitdown as like a outside mediator they could trust. theres a picture of him and bobby manna walking together around 1980 on the pic thread
