I dont think it was a sensational hit. It was a good hit but it was too public. Gravano had a better idea. He said one plan was for them to kill Bilotti at one of their bars or something then frank decicco would call paul and tell him that he would drive him since both were close. This way they could have gotten rid of the bodies and put less heat on their crew.
That sounds about right. It also sums up Gotti in a nutshell.
Everything had to be over the top, and boy, did he ever pay the price for it.
