This as always fits with Lonardo's testimony that in my opinion showed him to not be aware of a whole lot of things nationally or even locally when it came to the mob. I honestly don't know what he did.

Let's be honest, I bet Chin never did a making ceremony. He wouldn't meet with just any made guy. He just used this to insulate himself. It worked.
It’s almost guaranteed that the feds knew Fat Tony wasn’t the boss but it didn’t fit the narrative they were after to a admit they didn’t have enough (or anything) on chin to rope him into the Commission case.

Giuliani is still salty about this and tries to create a false premise that chin was never their target and that chin was only a top tier guy in the family but not the boss or admin.
