Oh yea I'm not refuting the fact he was recognized as a Colombo.
I just still wonder why it was Ray that made him, and by the sounds of their conversations they were more than close. I don't think Ray talked like that to all his soldiers, they just seemed too close for it to be a soldier/boss relationship, know what I mean? I know back then the bosses were not worried about insulating themselves from orders, etc. but why would Ray intercede, make someone, etc. if they were not close? Nobody in Rhode Island vouched for Nicky but Ray (we think) and Ray showed his power by getting him made when the books were closed, and the fact he asked the Commission to have him made and was granted that. I'm sure there were better choices to have someone look over the Gallo's too than Bianco, I'm not saying he was a bad choice or wasn't respected because I think he was, by why him and not say a Capo both sides respected because you know the Gallo's weren't after everybody. Some Capos I'm sure were on their side either quietly or was out in the open about it? I don't know the whole story behind that though.
Something I did like though is it seems even Bianco figured out right away that not all of that crew was bad. He told Ray something about it only seemed Joey was the only one hungry for power and was wild (something to that affect) and that was sometime right before Ray told him if they gave him any shit to kill them or let him know and he would send some folks down there.
Man I would kill for a book on just Bianco but I don't think anybody knows about him. Just think, he would have probably gotten out if it wasn't for the ALS. I think he only had 11 years on his sentence right?
