I was reading in the NYPost how when Mike Virtuoso "The Butcher" was popped a while back the fbi seized a bunch of newspaper clippings of Bonanno mobsters he had been keeping- amongst those clippings where stuff about Montagna's deportation

I wonder how Montagna was viewed when he was Acting Boss in NYC, was he effective? I think he must have been a capable guy to be made Acting Boss in his 30s! Regardless of whether there was anybody left there is ALWAYS somebody older who is out on the streets that can be appointed.


Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.
