I don't believe Albert Anastasia was as close to Lepke as they made back then, he may have never known him at all. I think whoever met with Lepke to convince him to turn himself in were local friends or even lawyers working with the Jewish mob. Dewey double crossed them.

Also, often when an informer has so much info to share it becomes questionable how they can know so much (Valachi) they are credited with extraordinary brain power, such as:

"One of them, Abraham (“Kid Twist”) Reles, had a photographic memory. O’Dwyer’s secretaries took 5,000 pages of notes from Reles that covered more than 50 murders—some of which directly implicated Lepke."



Most of what Turnbull has up there is likely true, it is only those two I mention that I am doubtful on. Abe Reles wa no genius on any level.
