Reading through his disclosures they have to be taken with a grain of salt.

HELLO!

Who and where is the Rat trap? wjat is the proof that Dara is the CI supplying this info?

Was William Dara the CI who ID'd Stevie Armone as a Bonnamo associate? Coz that's in there too (Mary Ferril).

Are there any more examples that Dara was mushu with th e motts he gave up to the J. Edgar hoovers?

Thank YOU!

Here’s the link to Darra, he’s also explored other informants, the one about Bill Bonanno is really interesting.
Thanks. Really interesting. One part I disagree with the author.

"He told federal agents that Gambino hoodlums Joseph Indelicato and Joseph Bisogno were members of the Genovese Crime Family."

Bisogno was a Genovese man.

According to Henry Hill's book they were, but did not know if that was confirmed or not.
D'Arco also says the Varios were Luccheses in his book. There was I believe a Reina or Gagliano guy in Brooklyn, near Brownsville where Paulie was, and his crew was eventually handed down to Paulie.

Did the wedding between Gambino and Tommy Lucchese's son and daughter or vice versa have something to do with the Luccheses being in Brooklyn? Didn't Gambino give Lucchese the Idlewild (JFK) rackets as a gift? Or do I have it backward? And yes, if Paulie was basically from that part of Brooklyn might he have been with the Bonnanos prior to the partnership between Gambino and Lucchese?
when Thomas Gambino married Lucchese’s daughter there was an exchange of rackets as gifts. Im not sure about JFK but I know 282 was passed from Lucchese control to Gambino control, and possibly some Garment stuff too, because traditionally the Luccheses had a lock on the garment center and then Thomas Gambino went on to run shops and make a fortune there after the marriage

Good info. Thank you
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”
