Here is a topic I copied over from the old board about the DeCicco informant rumor that came from Sclafani:

There is also a reply from JD that I copied over giving some background on Gus Sclafani's history in the Gambino family:

RESPONSE FROM JD:

Aside from Gravano talking about him being murdered for the accusation, Gus Sclafani hasn't gotten too much attention. He was considered a dangerous, reliable guy who was carrying out hits back to the 1950s for the Gennaro crew. He and James Episcopia served time together in Maryland in the 1960s, then after they got out Sclafani developed a close relationship with Neil Dellacroce and is supposed to have personally voluntereed for and carried out a murder in NJ for Dellacroce, even though he was an associate in Paul Castellano's regime and technically answerable to Paul at the time. This relationship with Dellacroce might be why DeCicco had to wait awhile to retaliate. I wouldn't be surprised if Sclafani was made in that first wave right alongside DeCicco.
