Obviously there were more in other Families, which I expect others to bring up.

Thanks for this

What about Freddy Freddy Santantonio?

Also, Scarpa was 11/21/61

Lombardozzi was around 1968?

Any other informers for Gambinos in the 50s or early in the 1960s?

Some say Neil Dellecroce was an informer.

Joe Valachi flipped in June 1962 after murdering a fellow image

Willie Boy Johnson flipped sometime in 1966 facing a heavy charge (uncertain of exact date);

Carmine Lombardozzi it is uncertain when he flipped, but he was giving high level intel by February 1967, so he probably flipped before hand

Tony Anastasio had been getting cosy the FBI and was considered a strong potential CI when he died in 1962

Are there any other guys that we know definitely flipped before 1970?

And if so, when did they flip as in month / year?
