That was before he was even boss, Joe Yacovelli masterminded the Joey Gallo hit, and Larry Gallo wasn't even murdered. Persico tipped his hand for nothing. And even before the Commission trial he was in jail always getting indicted.

On Bonanno/Lucchese. Disregard the Amuso reign and they've always had different leadership style. Luccheses playing it safe, more low profile, reaping the profits over time. Bonannos going at it hard and fast and ultimately suffering. In the end they come out about even, but the Luccheses are much more stable with less damage from informants. That being said the Bonannos have a ton of strong zips.
