pmac, do you know where I can find the Sam The Plumber tapes or transcript? Thank you. It's interesting about Joe being a puppet for Carlo, considering Vic Orena became a puppet for Gotti later on.
Mary Ferrell website. Sam The Plumber also said Colombo sits like a baby(on the Commission) next to Carl.
What did the other bosses think of Colombo privately?
I am sure Bonanno had the last laugh when Colombo got shot.
There is nothing concrete that other bosses thought as the Decav tapes did, but tidbits of info pretty much agree with that assessment. Of course the Gambino and the Lucchese family were happy with that fact. The Genovese and Greenwich Village faction had a friendly relationship with the Gallo crew. They also had a friendly relationship with the 3 capos in the Bonanno Family in the late 70s power play also. It was a very complex web of duplicity between multiple factions of all 5 families of NYC mainly and to the other families by proxy..
