Why did it take Vito Genovese almost 2 years to get rid of Carfano??
Carfano was being disrespectful at the start…
Costello told him to calm down; but that went on deaf ears.
Off topic; What’s ironic about it; Frank Abbatemarco (Profaci captain) died almost exactly 2 months later the same year (1959) for being disrespectful to his boss.
With a man like Carfano, a lot of politics and backdoor moves are often required. Little Augie was still a highly respected and well-liked member. An "original." You don't clip a guy like that so easily. Vito, an extremely sly and shifty mafioso bided his time. And when the time was right, we moved on Carfano.
FYI, Abbatemarco also dated back to the era I speak of with Carfano and Yale. In fact, his brother Michael Abbatemarco was killed about the same time as Yale which completely disrupted their crew, leading to guys like Frank and Carfano "realigning" with the Profaci and Luciano crews.
