He had zips he had Canadians he had people all over the country and in my opinion was a lot more powerful than Phil Rastelli.

Just like with Corozz or Gambino just bc they wanted it doesn't mean it was official.

As far as making people, yes massino was made by Galante

Who did nicky make ?? Galante was the boss out of the hundred or so bonanno capos and soldiers told him he wasn't.The ny bosses didn't want to deal with him. Joe massino went round ruffling feathers creating drama that wasn't there. Nicky ain't done 10 percent of what lilo did my opinion.

The power basically would of been zips with three capos under followed by massino and Sony black pretty much

Not sure I understand the question. Less damaging than Rastelli? Less damaging than what happened with Massino years later?

I'm not one to usually guess about hypotheticals but it seems Galante wasn't really liked by many outside his inner circle. That alone could have made his time as actual boss a tumultuous one.

Ya.. was goin BB for a min there...

B. wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 3:41 pm At Massino's induction, Galante asked the new inductees who the boss of the family was. Everyone said Galante except Massino, who said Rastelli. Galante said that was true as of last week, but the previous week he had become the new boss. So we can figure it was the first week of June 1977 that Galante went from acting boss to usurping the role of "official" boss (without Commission support). It's in that big thread about the early 70s Bonannos, but sources within the Bonanno family told the FBI they expected Galante to try and take over the family even before his initial release from prison.

True. Galante wasn’t the official boss with Rusty in prison but was the de facto boss. Yeah he made Joe Massino, Anthony Spero, Jerry Chilli, and a few others.
