I really think that news story got him killed, similarly how that story on Sonny Franzese in the 60s " The hood in our neighborhood", made Colombo nervous, as it described him not only as the Colombo heir apparent, but COSA NOSTRAS big comer..



I just think Scarfo feared Testa, that story with Maria is goofy, what kind of boss kills his most trusted, capable capo, basically over some broad? And this from the guy WHO WENT TO BAT FOR CHUCKIE WHO BROKE THE RULES AND FUCKED WITH A MADE MANS NIECE, or daughter, or whatever.

So he could bend the rules for Chuckie, ( who he eventually shelved anyway cause he was a hot mess and petty, and pit his guys against each other, just a bad leader)not a kid who he was supposed to look on as another son?
The hippocracy is shameless...
