I thought that too, but the book says he was an associate and was accused of overcharging Casso.
No excuse, obviously.
But why mutilate his genitals in the problem was related to money? It's not like the man molested or raped a relative of Casso's. What kind of absurd message does this mutilation carry in this specific case?
In one of the books it was related the architect okay have ben involved in an affair with Casso's wife while he was on the lam. I also believe law enforcement think Casso/Luchese's had nothing to do with Fat Petes uncle getting killed.
