At one point, Arillotta's crew had a list of a dozen targets, reflecting the brutal nature of their operations. He confessed to conspiracies and attempts to murder, indicating personal vendettas, like one against a particular family in his area, that drove his violent actions. The conversation highlighted differing roles within the mob, noting that influential "earners"—those generating significant income—were often promoted over members who put it work. Arillotta mentioned a historical period in the 1960s and 1970s when individuals could pay $50,000 for induction into the mob, an investment that didn't always guarantee long-term recognition. This practice was particularly noted in the Gambino family, though it was later dismissed.
