Possible but the police officer in the town where the meeting took place had been harassing the owner of the home where ht meeting was held for quite a while after hearing he was a mafia member. It was one of those small insular towns, not hospital to outsiders, plus all those people flying in form all over the country must have raised a flag to the feds that something was up. The amazing thing is how the people at the meeting reacted, running away instead of just sitting there and continuing on as if nothing was happening. They were obviously there for a mob get together, but they would never have been found guilty of any crime for being there, The ones who tried to run off changed the whole dynamic of how the story was covered.
