- Discussion of official organizational matters requires "tying the circle" where they link arms or hands before discussing, then "break the circle" afterward.
I remember Gravano's biography referenced this. It's the only reference I've ever heard. Do you have additional info?
I've read about this a few times, I'm trying to remember where...possibly in A Man of Honor. The Sonny Mercurio making ceremony? I'm recalling it being referred to as 'intacatta?' 'tying the knot' and 'locking in/tying in' as Bronx said. Seems like it's more of a tradition than a rule.
It comes up in a bunch of places and yep, "tying the knot" or "tie-ins" is one way it's referred. One of the DeCavalcante turncoats even talked about doing it before discussing Family business at a barbecue. They're supposed to do it so while it may not be as strict as the ten commandment type rules, I'd consider it a rule.
