That's the thing with Joe Magliocco, by the mid 1950s he was a shell what he was in the 1920s till that point. He is still a chief suspect in the murder of Peter Leone, rumored to have been a heavy hitter, which throws a wrench in it was all Albert Anastasia crew since Joe Florino, Double A's top gunman is the prime suspect in the Joe Peraino shooting. Regardless, Magliocco was a major force and his father Giovanni is rumored to have been made, which would explain the Magliocco-D'Agati situation where nothing happened to John after he killed Frank, although there is a lot more is to that.
Interesting. I knew that I saw/heard that about Magliocco was a street guy during the prohibition era. That time frame with the Colombos is a weak spot for me. Because I know all the Families have a rich history, I know The Profaci's are no different but less examined.
That's a crazy dynamic within itself. The Profaci/Colombo Family has ALWAYS had a major dangerous element and a sorta factioned Family, even from the beginning you see the precursors of the later drama in the 50s/60s. There's Profaci's relatives/supporters, a group that followed the rules but generally didn't respect him and a young element that were apart of establishment Mafia politics/renegades. They had a dangerous crew with Profaci and Magliocco at the top. From a street point of those problems were bound to happen.
