Louis Manna was Consigliere under Chin. Think he had control of 4-5 crews in Jersey.

Neil Dellacroce is another example.He served as the Gambino's #2 under Carlo,and then Paul, and was basically given Carte Blanche to run his own operations.
Actually.he had one of the sweetest deals in the Mafia world. He served minimal jail time, earned a ton of money from his crews,and had as much power as many Bosses.He did what he wanted,and kicked up his share to keep the status quo. He was smart enough to stay where he was and avoid the unwanted attention and increased Law Enforcement pressure that the top spot would bring.Just like Carlo,he died wealthy.free,and in bed.



Dellacroce didn’t even become the underboss until the late 1960s. Even in the 60s he was passed over and Castellano was made acting boss for a few months ... dellacroce was first made a capo of guys like Anthony Ruggiano during the 1950s and early 1960s

Click the link below for the fbi reports on this from the 1960s


But Neil and Joe gallo had long runs and made a ton of money but nothing compared to Castellano ...I believe Joe Gallo and Neil we’re Allies much more than Paul and Joe

A March 1986 raid on DiBernardo's office seized alleged "child pornography and financial records." As "a result of the Postal Inspectors seizures [a federal prosecutor] is attempting to indict DiBernardo on child pornography violations" according to an FBI memo dated May 20, 1986.
Thousands of pages of FBI Files that document his involvement in Child Porn
