I agree there's more to the LoPresti hit than is out as of now. But despite Lamoth and Humphries authoring a great read, a lot of their claims are considered hyperbolic.


Yep, great read but it is blatant they greatly overestimate the Rizzuto's power and influence. Also in the book The Last Godfather, Massino tells Vitale straight up that the captains "hated him" and "didn't trust him" lol, hence he was kept out of the loop on issues of importance. This is the reason I am a little skeptical that the NY-Montreal alliance was severed after the Sciascia hit, as Vitale is the only person I have heard on the record say this.
