He feared nobody and made all the bosses money. To say in the Reagan era watts made more money because of bilottis book and raging construction decade in manhatten handed to him by gotti you might be write. But jimmy burke was in quite a few fields of organized crime and made a shit load of money. Now you want to have them call there old accountants and roll up there sleeves and see who walks who...thats up to you. Mt point that watts is even refered to a burke level as a non Italian shows im not far off in my thinking


Watts was doing hits for Carl Gambino and Castellano before gotti..Burke’s not in his league...burke was a highjacker and bookmaker, Watts was one of the biggest loan sharks in the city and ran different construction companies and did hits for the boss of the family whoever that was at the time just like watts father did ..watts father was close to Carl Gambino and Castellano and Mario Traina and Joe Acuris father who also was a wise guy...and Henry hill was a junkie that just sprouted shit. Paulie was never the underboss it didn’t happen..From Al darco to Casso to the fbi filed in the 1960s. It didn’t happen Paul vario was lucky he wasn’t killed becuase of the “gold bug” much less promoted..

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.
