Mini, if you want respect on these boards, you have to
earn it. Check your facts before you try to dazze us with your "knowledge":
--Maranzano did
not appoint Bonanno "boss of his borgata" after the Castellemmarese War. Maranzano remained the boss until he was assassinated on Charlie Luciano's orders. Then the family captains elected Bonanno boss.
--Galante was
not made "underboss" by either Maranzano or Bonanno after the Castellemmarese War. He did hits for Vito Genovese and was Bonanno's chauffeur.
--Galante did not attempt to become boss when Bonanno retired. The next boss was Paul Sciacca. When he died, it was Frank Mari. After Mari was killed, a triumverate ruled: Philip Rastelli, Natale Evola and Joseph DiFilippi. Rastelli outlasted and outmaneuvered them to become head of the family.
--Rastelli also outmaneuvered Galante, who, despite his claims, never had the loyalty of a majority of the captains in the Bonanno Family.
