Why did Sabella go against Bonanno? Wasn't he his favorite? Reading through Dara's revelations, during the Banana wars he was afraind for his life and tried to switch families through Vario.
@NYMafia Any info on Skinny Pete Crociata? I've only read bits about him when he was a mediator during a sitdown involving Herbie Gross.
Hi axe, You have to understand that at a certain point ALL Bonanno members were told by the full Commission that Joe Bonanno, his son, and a few others were no longer recognized in Cosa Nostra. Slowly but surely ALL swore members (and top associates also for that matter), were told they either "come in" and report, or get permanently shelved.
I had relatives who faced the same challenge. If they valued their button, they had to recognize the new leadership. Which went from DiGregorio, to Sciacca, and utilmately Evola (with several changes in between).
A lot of guys skirted the issue for awhile, but eventually the bosses put their backs to the wall and made them choose. In between all that is why certain guys get clipped.
