I just don't get the whole Caponigro thing. These guys know the rules. They know you don't kill a boss without Commission approval with impunity. This is why I find the idea of Caponigro up and arranging to kill Bruno on the ok a couple of Genovese soldiers weird.
Agreed. Bananas thought he had it all worked out with NY and that he would get the Commission votes to be new boss. There had been grumblings about Ange the past couple years, and Caponigro made his move before someone else would...keep in mind the geographic element as well...Caponigro's Newark day-to-day dealings were far removed from Bruno's South Philly. Bananas was at Cous' in Philly right before getting whacked telling guys how everything would be straightened out in a few days...I am still surprised this wily gangster fell for the okie-doke and thought he could murder a boss without Commission approval.
