Genovese tried to take out Costello first but failed, it still had the desired effect and Frank stepped down as boss. Anastasia vowed to put his friend Costello back as being the boss of the Genovese crime family. Vito was hoping that the mafia commission would prevent Albert from interfering in a family dispute, but then he heard rumors that Luciano was backing up Anastasia from Sicily and Lucky still had powerful friends in the United States. With that Genovese reached out to Lucchese and Tommy tapped Gambino to get the ball rolling. There is a rumor that Galante had a sitdown with Anastasia about killing Frank Scalise over a drug dispute when Vito found out that Scalise was not reporting or sharing the drug profits with Albert.
