ive often wondered about that same thing. if the hit was botched as costellos was. you can bet Anastasia would have hit back hard, he had the shooters.
Yup I was just gonna say I can't see him hanging up the gloves like Costello did. But Costello was a lot smarter then Albert ever was. That's why one died in bed and another died on a barbershop floor.
I'm sure Costello was swimming in money. Why risk war and death when toucan step a side with millions inthe bank and live the rest of your days peaceful. But that's not Albert as everyone knows. He would have cause havoc if he survived but i also think the commission would have stepped in to mediate.
You have to think who the bosses were at the time. They would have avoided the bloodshed.
