=== Conspiracy against the Commission ===
In 1963, [[Joseph Bonanno]], the head of the [[Bonanno crime family]], made plans to assassinate several rivals on The Commission—bosses Gambino, Lucchese, and [[Stefano Magaddino]], as well as [[Frank DeSimone]].<ref name="Life Magazine 1967">Staff (September 1, 1967) [https://books.google.com/books?id=UFYEAAAAMBAJ&q=Colombo&pg=PA18 "The Mob: How Joe Bonanno Schemed to kill – and lost"] ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' p.15-21</ref> Bonanno sought [[Joseph Magliocco]]'s support, and Magliocco, bitter over being previously denied a seat on The Commission, readily agreed. Bonanno promised to make Magliocco his right-hand man in exchange for his assistance.<ref name=trouble /> 

Magliocco was assigned with killing Lucchese and Gambino, and he gave the contract to [[Joseph Colombo]], one of his top [[contract killing|hit men]]. However, the opportunistic Colombo revealed the plot to his intended targets. The other bosses quickly surmised that Magliocco and Bonnano were colluding, and summoned both men to explain themselves.<ref name=trouble>{{cite web|last=Bruno|first=Anthony|title=Colombo Crime Family: Trouble and More Trouble|url=https://www.trutv.com/library/crime/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/colombo/4.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080914110850/https://www.trutv.com/library/crime/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/colombo/4.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 September 2008|work=TruTV Crime Library|access-date=27 November 2011}}</ref> Fearing for his life, Bonanno went into hiding in [[Montreal]], leaving Magliocco to deal with the Commission. Badly shaken and in failing health, Magliocco confessed his role in the plot. The Commission spared his life but forced him to retire as boss of the Profaci family and pay a $50,000 fine. As a reward for turning on his boss, Colombo took over Magliocco's family, which was subsequently renamed the [[Colombo crime family|Colombo family]].<ref name=trouble />
