Good post Chin. Carlo was also a sly one, willing to work with others and avoid conflicts as much as possible. Carlo Gambino was a Mangano supporter and never cared for Albert Anastasia tactics. Joe and Bill Bonanno said what they said, but they had seen the writing on the wall, Gambino had Genovese and Lucchese support, Bonanno, Profaci, and Magaddino were not going to play against them but allow Gambino to be on a probation period, if Carlo did anything wrong that was serious, the Commission would be able to remove him, not kill him, only if it warranted such a sanctioned hit.
Sidenote, Santo Trafficante was angry at what happened when he was in New York to talk to double A and was in the dark, afterwords he had a strong dislike for Joe the Blond.
