Finally Licavoli gave the green light to go.into major narcotics
Dealings and that just led to more reckless killings and more
Guys flipping.

Licavoli just kept on making bad administrative moves and
It caught up.to the family


Licavoli had problem to kill Greene because the politics of Scalish of dont made new blood diminished the family size plus Greene had Nardi and a crew of fearless killers.
For his downfall he was unlucky because
who can believe that Lonardo that was a top mobster from 50 years would flip?
Or that his friend Fratianno was a snitch?
Or that Joe Gallo would recorded speaking at the phone of family rackets?

If Lonardo would keep his mouth shout Carmen Zagaria flipping would made so damages. But was the 1980s and the family was a mess and Licavoli made the best for rebuilt the family.
