The way Scarfo ran things with all the killings it brought WAY to much attention and did them in. He was the worst thing to ever happen to the Philly Mob


It's also important to remember that law enforcement efforts against the mob were rather lackluster during the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Had Bruno not been killed in 1980, he probably would have been indicted when the heat came on in the 1980's. And things would not have run so smoothly in the family as a whole.
