I believe those charts and a lot of other info came from MANY other FBI sources, some of which are probably not even known today, including illegal wiretaps, etc, etc.

All these were "put into" Vachali's mouth at the big commitee to make it appear as he was a key member of the WHOLE Cosa Nostra, not just his family.
Also Vito Genovese is known as "Don Vitone" there. I think that's just a name Costello called him, if anybody else in his family did it, I'm sure they'd be ground fertilizer the next day.

Greg Scarpa: By far gave the Feds more(for decades) and had his hands in more, and was connected to more familys then any other rat in the history of the New York Mafia. " Hands down "

Sorry Joe V


I'm not done the book yet. But I still definitely agree with that statement.
