read persiano was locked up from 1991 to 2005 06. so he was inducted after that. says he was a philly member. educated guess joe ligambi or whoever merlino had running the show at the time made him. im surprised him being that close to scarfo jr in 2007 08 09 the philly guys allowed him to come back into there fold. on another note you think merlino and them have the old gun on the table and prick the finger induction. im reading whoevee writes that lcnbios site the bonannos didnt give a fuck. massino and vitale had over 50 ceromonys they just sat them down told them the rules, and said a little oath. no gun or even a knife makes it so not special no wonder everyone in there familys flips then you had the genovese rat anthony from springfield say how he was stripped down then brought into a room with a gun an knife on table, they did the burning saint thing and all. 2 different claases i guess
