Some very good info in this. I never knew that Dominick Cicale was an associate with the Genovese family under Ernie Muscarella before linking up with the Bonanno family.

Lots of little fascinating little tidbits like that.


Just read some of this; It's a good read.

As i stated in my earlier post; Guy's on the streets were saying that Carmine Galante was boss; but in reality Rastelli was the ''Official Boss''

Everyone must have been afraid of Galante including Rastelli.

Another thing; When Massino was promoted to Underboss in 1984; He was told; he was the number 3 man in the family; Steve Cannone was the number 2 as Consigliere; Consigliere is more powerful then people realize.
