GUARRACI ALLEGEDLY ROSE TO ACTG BOSS AS HE NTUED TO WORK AS A FOREMAN WH A LABORER’S UNN. HE HUNG OUT AT THE RIBERA SOCIAL CLUB ELIZABETH, REMAG SO LOW-KEY THAT EVEN SOME MEMBERS OF THE FAY WERE UNAWARE OF HIS ALLEGED POSN. HIS OTHER ADVANTAGE OVER THE MORE HIGH-PROFILE FAI NEW YORK WAS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT NEW JERSEY IS MORE AGMENTED AND LS ZEALO.IF GUARRACI IS ED AN ACTG BOSS, SEEMS HE IS THE ONLY ONE STILL OUT THERE BEG A GANGSTER A LA THE FICTNAL TONY SOPRANO, AT HOWEVER SMALL A SLE.
