Exactly. Pistone did them a favor. If the Bonannos still had a Commission seat in 1984/1985, their administration would have been targeted, and convicted, as well.

Persico say what you want he's had control over his family for over 40 years more or less and took out any one that could challenge his authority. What are they gonna do hit him with a longer prison term.

He could tell u a few prison stories . He has only been on the street for 4 or 5 years since 1971

That's why he's interesting to me held power in a family that long, how many have in jail or on the streets?

It's prob because half the family r related to him one way or another

That didn't happen for no reason.

Accardo.

His life was the life of the Chicago mob. Capone, prohibition, outfit political influence etc.

And he had a front row ticket to it all and not a day in jail to spend for his troubles.

And when he passed, so did the outfit. To it's current shadow of itself.

Nobody saw more than him. And I do mean nobody.

marcello was the fall guy, and he fell

Chin. And all the upper echelon Genovese guys (Eggs, Prisco, Salerno, Bellomo, etc.)

I'd like to hear Alphonse Persico's story more in detail, would be interesting and not a lot of detailed information.

Even though he was never made, let alone being a boss, the scumbag Chris Pacillo has surely lived a most interesting life and still does even though he ought to be locked up with his buddies who he ratted on. He's in South Beach screwing a bunch of actresses, driving Ferrari's and living the high life.

Point blank its Rizzuto, but depending on who and what your interested in also counts if I were to say for myself it would most certainly be a Outfit guy, but I just think Rizzuto has had by far the most happen to him and been on both ends of a WAR I mean a real MOB WAR. Shit is crazy.

I would say giancana. The jfk and castro stories he could tell. Def most interesting. My second choise would be sonny franseze with better part of a decade in the life. Even with his long prison term he could tell some pretty good stories

No Nose. He's been involved with the Outfit since the early 1950's and is still on the streets 60 years later and has done very little prison time. I still have no idea how he escaped Family Secrets. He goes back to the time of Paul Ricca, Murray Humphreys, Milwaukee Phil, Sam DeStefano , Tony Spilotro, and Sam Giancana

Same result anyways. Rastelli was convicted in 1986 and died in prison along with the other bosses. Nobody had Massino pegged as underboss at the time, so he likely would have skated on the case like the Genovese underboss at the time.
