The 1950s was information given by a FBN informant located in New Jersey. Bruno and Galante going through John Simone and Joe Zicarelli are from numerous informants, all adamant no drug deals were done, with one informant confirmed to be a made member in the Bruno family repeatedly saying that after Tommy Lucchese died, Angelo would only meet with Gambino family membersCarlo Gambino, and Paul Castellano, from New York, and let John Simone, Joe Rugnetta, and Tony Caponigro deal with the rest from New York and New Jersey. Bruno made Phil Testa his underboss, but was making sure Testa was not making many connections to New York, New Jersey, or any family outside Philadelphia, making sure Testa did not have the power to overthrow him.
What caused Ange to meet only with Carlo Gambino and Big Paul, but not any of the other New York families or even the DeCavalcantes? Was it because Funzi Tieri coveted his North Jersey numbers and gambling rackets, or that Lilo wasn't giving him his cut of the heroin $$$ from Sicily and Montreal?
