Russell Bufalino.
Yeah. They exaggerated Russell Bufalino’s part in this thing. There’s times in the movie when they are talking about getting back to “the real boss,†like it’s Bufalino. Angelo Bruno was the boss of the Philadelphia mob, not Russell Bufalino. So they got this whole fucking thing twisted and turned around. I don’t know who told them what. Now, Russell Bufalino did head a faction — I’m not sure if he was a boss or he was a major captain.
Has anyone ever disputed the existence of the Northeast Pennsylvania family, or that Bufalino was it's boss? Obviously, Gravano knows a million times more about the mob than me, he was in it. But is he saying there was no NE Pennsylvania family?
I put more stock in what he says about the Gallo hit, because Gravano was around the Colombos early in his career. He probably does know a lot about the colombos back then.
