vito Genovese thought he would be the king of the hill, and if they didn't
set him up he would of been. thanks alfa.
This might sound strange, but I think had Vito not been set up, he might have gone to jail anyhow. Why? Because he didn't have the political connections of the Boss he supplanted (Costello). Vito's concept of political protection was simply to kill off all the witnesses to his crimes. That won't help you much if you are a drug kingpin.
