He likely became a capo after JOSEPH CASTELLANO died in May 1946.

As for the consigliere role, I’ve heard 1953. I think he replaced FRANK SCALICE who was moved to underboss. I’m not super sure about this.

This is a pretty crazy story, but I buy it. Gambino/Scalice/Conte all held admin positions during Anastasia’s reign so it would make sense if they backed his takeover.

He also said if his brother wasn’t found in 24 hours, he would kill Anastasia. Carlo “realized Philip was out of his head.” And reported this to Anastasia, who then had Philip killed. The report says this cemented a close relationship between the two
