Tambone returned to the Gambinos when Gotti becomed boss because his heroin ring was more profitable and Gotti love the $$$.Tampone died in 2001 at 81 years.

Off the top of my head, Tambone was dealing heroin and Castellano put it up to a vote by the commission to see if he would be killed. Persico and Corallo said no, Castellano and Gigante said yes. Bonanno’s weren’t on the commission at this point (1980s). Guessing when Gotti was made boss Tambone was bought back into the fold. I have no idea about who Caiazzo is and what he did except that he was around Dellacroce.
Mike Caiazzo was Dellacroce's driver and a Gambino captain. What he did was name Joseph LaForte, Jr an acting captain without consulting anyone which pissed Neil off to no end...

See that's another part that's confusing, unless the heroin operation involved multiple families and blame was trying to be levied accordingly...

In Mustain's book Mob Star, it says Pete Tambone was kept abreast of the Commission vote to kill or not to kill him by Angelo Ruggiero...what I dont understand is was the guy willing to take the clip like Sonny Black if Ruggiero came back with bad news? I mean I always thought the decision to kill or not to kill a guy was secretive. It seemed as though Tambone was kept updated throughout the Commission meetings on his fate.

Tambone I sorta knew came back but I always thought Caiazzo was kept out cause it was Neil who shelved him. Pure speculation on my part though.

Were Michael Caiazzo or Little Pete Tambone ever let back around the Gambino Family after being shelved and chased respectively?
