The reason I gave all this background information is to illustrate that if Sciascia would of ordered a hit on Paul Cotroni he would of used the services of the Hells Angels not the Rock Machine that had resentment towards the Italians for siding with the Hells. Gerald Gallant, the guy that killed Cotroni was a hitman for the Rock Machine. He also confessed that the Italians are with the Hells Angels. Cotroni did business with the Hells and that is what did him in. According to investigation reports,Johnny Plescio a Rock Machine member,had warned Paul & Frank Cotroni jr. not to frequent the Hells Angels & friend Scott Steinert(HA).
For your read reference I have included the above Journal de Montreal article.
Perhaps Sciascia wanted to kill Paul Cotroni on the sneak and didn't want the murder traced back to him hence why he hired the Rock Machine.
Massino's claim is remarkable and doesn't made a whole lot of sense based on contradictatory statements made by the killer, but I don't think it can be easily refuted either.
