Did any of you fellas notice that Sheeran went through his entire book without naming names of any made Bufalinos? Do you think it was strategic or he was purely on record with Russell and didn't socialize with the others?
It was thought a while ago that the Pittston family had a very small size. They were usually compared to Tampa or New Orleans. But it's come out that they were actually pretty large, smaller than Buffalo, but larger than most. About 60 men.
When I counted in the book, the who's-who was more Genovese, Lucchese guys, and some Bruno people than Pittston.
He was heavily involved with the Bufalino family and Genovese. You have to take into account how close he was to Bufalino and back then Bufalino was heavily involved in his family, the Genovese, The Magadinno’s, Bonnano’s and all of the smaller offshoot crews and families in upstate NY and Canada. Bufalino’s opinion or when he decided to weigh in on other family matters carried A TON of weight back then. 3 different families(Bonnano, Genovese and Bufalino) were all eating off of political deals Congressman Dan Flood got involved in. They had him in their pockets for 30yrs.
