The hit was a testament to Castellano’s indecisiveness. They would’ve never had the audacity to stage a coup during Carlo’s reign. I’ve always wondered why Paul didn’t eliminate a strong portion of the blue collar wing. You won’t survive in the streets without fear and respect.
in fairness paul was under a microscope at time so eliminating a bunch of guys from the bergin crew would of put more heat on him. Plus Paul didnt anticipate frankie and sammy jumping ship. Without those two i doubt the hit ever goes down. Paul would of went to jail
