with a hit that big everybody in the mob would know it was a setup. it would have to be to get Anastasia.

carlo was taking a big chance, and ive read two different versions of who ordered it. in "the mob and the city" alex hortis says that Anastasia met with santos trafficante the morning of the hit, shortly after the meet santos went back to tampa.

and in "five families" raab says it was vito Genovese and profaci, and Gambino, joey gallo used to brag that he and his brother hit Anastasia, both being profaci hitters.

but gallo could have been bragging. trafficante came into the mix because Anastasia wanted in cuba.

its a mystery.
