Interesting topic I thought of;

Who are some guys who were marked for death; but were never killed because the contract was pulled off; they got a “pass”; fled NYC and was never found? Entered the witness protection program or simply the heat was too much for them to be whacked. The other reason would be that they got “shelved”.

My two guys would be

Pete Casella - He was told to leave to Florida or he would be whacked for the murder of Phil Testa.

Frank Costello - Marked for death and was injured but Vito Genovese allowed him to retire.

Any others??? Would love some other responses!
