After the meeting, my name, along with those of the other potential inductees, was circulated around the five families. This was the mob’s version of a standard credit check. If anyone had any reason to object to me becoming a member of the family, he would let DiBella know quickly. The name circulation also had a second purpose. If anyone in another family felt he had a claim on a prospect, he was to let that be known as well. That’s exactly what happened with me. Pasquale “Paddy Mack” Marchiola, a Genovese soldier, raised an objection. He argued that I had done some business with one of his friends, and that made me his recruit. Paddy Mack gambled that this would counter my own father’s claim and negate the time I spent walking a picket line with family boss Joe Colombo. The mob commission overruled Mack’s claim.
