i read that vic and gas had plans to kill the entire jersey faction on their family because the "boss" of the jersey faction was not kicking enough up. it was to my understanding taht they tried to summon like 30 guys from jersey all at once to slaughter them. tacetta supposedly ordered them not to go. let me think where i got this from. if im remembering incorrectly i will be the first to admit. but of course just because i read that somewhere and took it to be true doesn't mean that it is....ya know lots of bullshit written.
Phat, I watched the National Geographic program "Manhattan Mob Rampage" in which Tommy Ricciardi relates the "whack jersey" story. He makes seem as if he was in charge and made the decision.
If I recall, Selwyn Raab relates some of this in 5 Families, and suggests that it was Anthony "Tumac" Accetturo who made the decision not to go to the meeting. I thought that Tumac was in Florida at this time, and appointed Taccetta (his protege) as boss of the Jersey faction.
I am just not sure, who was calling the shots at the time. IMO, it was either Taccetta or Accetturo.
