Re: Guys who "seemed" made but weren't
I don’t recall Lonardo ever testifying that Ronnie Carabbia was made. Lonardo claimed, of course, that Cleveland didn’t want to approve the hit on Charlie Crab out of “respect” for Ronnie and his family, but he didn’t say that Ronnie was made (if I’m wrong, and Lonardo did in fact make this claim somewhere else and I missed it, someone please correct me).

If I remember right JCB claimed that Jack Licavoli made Carabbia when they were in prison together after their conviction.

Was Carrabia on the 1993 list?

That is also my understanding. He was made to insure his silence. He was also reassured that his family would be taken care of.

Re: Guys who "seemed" made but weren't
This will probably involve some debate. And I know Scott disagrees. Sorry Scott, you're awesome! But for Detroit, I still haven't seen actual evidence Nove Tocco was made. He never gave an induction ceremony description ever. And the Detroit FBI would have broadcast that. So that one I think is questionable.
