I guess Pennisi thought his life was in danger? Or so he claims. No way to prove one way or another. I forgot DiLeonardo's exact reason but, again, to me, sounded really ridiculous.
Dileonardo was put on the shelf and I guess money stopped coming his way. Facing life and they put you on the shelf, be loyal to what lol? I will say in pennisis defence people will call him paranoid etc which he may be but the luccheses had someone murdered as recent as 2013 when he was indicted and the people he was beefing with were all murderers as he is himself. So as someone who has killed surrounded by people who have killed you can understand why he believed them capable of killing him. If they actually were or not is another debate I guess
