"Capeci, Raab etc based their belief on what Cafaro said. And on this particular topic, front boss and all that crap, Cafaro lied or twisted the truth to make FBI look good. And just like Lenehan, Cafaro may have been an East Harlem fan boy, proud of what mobsters that neighborhood had produced."
Seems highly unlikely ,Cafaro testified that Salerno(an East Harlem alumni) was a front for Gigante(a Greenwich based leader). Why would he hype up Lombardo but not Salerno.
Cafaro had a falling out with Salerno prior to his cooperation. It could be that he wanted to degrade, or possibly even humiliate him, by saying Salerno was just, what he called, a "front boss". However, his hyping up of Lombardo (who was no punk by any means, he clearly had power and influence), Ferro and other Genovese members with East Harlem origins was misleading. The quote above was written when Lenehan (Pic/Lucky7/whatever username he used on the Real Deal site) was being discussed (in other threads on here) and his claims that the most powerful Genovese members were actually the ones who were from the Newark area, Lenehan´s neigborhood.
