Interesting note, dont know if it has been mentioned on these forums, but before Bonanno and Magaddino relationship began to sour, Giovanni Bonventre made an insult to Stefano Magaddino in the 1940s, and Bonanno shelved Bonventre for a few years, but reinstated Bonventre into the family and back to being a Capo all in the same go.
What was the alleged insult?
They were all cousins, the gist of the situation to my understanding was more of a "personal family" matter. I believe GIOVANNI BONVENTRE made reference to how MAGADDINO was the black sheep of the family and Bonventre undermined STEFANO'S status as a Boss in public. He was shelved (with the understanding he would be reinstated in the future) merely for Bonnano to appease Magaddino's bruised ego.
