Rusty should have stepped down...
I also {IMO} don't think he trusted Massino as much as people say...
Stefano Cannone was Rusty's eyes and ears even when Rastelli was in jail.
I agree. I think Rastelli stepping down would have probably been much better for the Bonanno Family in general.
But you know how it is, Zavattoni. Very few of these guys are willing to relinquish the power and money that goes with that title.
In fact, of all the Family bosses over the last half century that come to mind, the Lucchese Family boss Anthony “Tony Ducks” Corallo is one of the few I can think of who actually did so….for the betterment (or as it turned out, the unwitting detriment) of their borgata.
