This is kinda silly but I wonder if you were all the original bosses "known" throughout NY or were there guys for example a capo in the Luciano Family thinking to himself "How the fuck is Tom Gagliano a Don" or "who the fuck is Joe Profaci".... obviously they found out pretty quick
Even still I can see all the administration being acquainted and respectful of the top guys but I'm sure at the caporegime level there was jealously looking up, I'm just curious how ignorant were the soldiers of what the big shots were doing
