On Philadelphia, was Casella acting alone in Testa's hit or was the Genovese family playing Casella like they did with Caponigro?
From Leonetti's book it seems the murder of Testa was strictly a philly thing. Leonetti said the plan was to kill Testa so that Casella would take over and then hand it over to Chickie Narducci. Supposedly Narducci was going to give Casella a million to hand it over and walk away. I'm not sure if thats totally true but that seems to be what Leonetti (and Scarfo) thought.
Only reason Casella wasn't killed was because he was connected to some capo in the Genovese family that got him a pass according to Leonetti. But they ordered Casella to never return to philly and to just retire and move to florida. I think i got that right...someone can correct me if i'm wrong on it.
