Yes, Dob_P, you have described Don Stefano to a "T". The majority of the guys around here were no fans of his either----it's amazing his reign lasted as long as it did !!! His hatred of Magliocco as well as Magliocco's brother and son is very prominently featutred in many of the hundreds of pages of transcripts the Feds made of their recordings of his daily meetings in the office of his son's funeral parlor. Don Stefano was a little slow on the uptake there too. He blamed the Feds knowledge of his operations and who was who on "spies" rather than wondering if someone had been listening in on him. They were listening to him daily for over 3 years and probably would've continued to do so for many more had they not been ordered to stop by presidential decree !!!!
wow, Magaddino was a real old school Mustache Pete. It really left a bad taste that first Maranzano then Don Peppino Bonanno was the most power Castellamarese and he never achieved the wealth and status of the other NY bosses.
And this is all while he was "treated" with great respect and left with vast territory. Ego and jealous brought himdownl
