To me, this is exactly where the disconnect occurs....


See I don't think Vito hit the capos for the BONNANO FAMILY, like he was loyal to em. Everyone quotes the Sixth Family, and always seem to forget the part where Sonny Red took the Sicilian heroin and didn't pay.

Prompting the Sicilians to throw in with Massino and Napolitano, so as to preserve the heroin ring.

They didnt need the Bonnano Family per Se, what they needed were trusted people in NYC to buy their heroin, move it discreetly and send the money back through the same channels discreetly.

So my opinion, he didn't kill three capos for the Bonnano family, Sonny Red was a heavy at Bonos wedding. He killed em to protect the Sicilians heroin operation.
