I thought that too, but the book says he was an associate and was accused of overcharging Casso.
No excuse, obviously.
Have to be the first ever architect mafia associate.
'Yoowa gowa kollect dees debt fora mea. I puta in a nice French Doors onya keetchen fora youse.'
Yea I agree Sonny hitting his architect was low and clearly shows his psychotic paranoia at the time...I could be wrong but dont recall him bein described as an associate?
Imo the two guys he clearly never should hit were Salerno and Facciola..thats based alot on the insight our friend PB shared specifically on Salerno in that they were both solid well respected earners that were not ratting at all..I think gas thought they may potentially be rivals especially Mikey since he was a capo (I thought Bruno was just a well respected powerful soldier) but idk if I believe either were doing nething to openly challenge BK faction running the fam at the time
