No. Nicky Scarfo was on the outs with Bruno. Scarfo had been exiled to Atlantic City years previously because he had killed a longshoreman in a dispute over a restaurant seat. I read that it was only via some serious pleading from Scarfo's uncles or other made members within the Philly family that Bruno hadn't ordered Scarfo's demise. It didn't help that Scarfo had also made an enemy of the family counselor by agreeing and then declining to marry the counselor's daughter.
It was future boss John Stanfa, who was Bruno's driver, and was actually wounded in the assassination of Bruno.
As mentioned Bruno's demise set up a chain of murders and countermurders that eventually saw Scarfo rise to the top and then unleash even more violence.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
