I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this was a very very very well planned suicide.

I don't know who killed him, but whoever did it, I don't think it was the first time they murdered someone, because it is not easy to get away with a murder in that area with the layout of the streets.

I agree Gerry - this was a calculated hit that was executed very well, with the desired result. 15 slugs! Only Fat Pete Chiodo could survive something like that.

No doubt the Feds are pushing the "Locked Up Ligambi's" to spill their guts, if they know anything.

It is interesting to me that the perception of Ligambi and his leadership was the "threat" or "perceived threat" of violence. Generally speaking, to succeed in that life and business, you have to follow through on the threat every now and again. I wonder if this is one of those situations.

Does anyone know if there was bad blood between Harry the Hunchback and the Ligambi leadership of LCN? If they were trying to extort and he was resisting, it sounds an awful lot like what happened when Little Nicky was running things.

Is it so farfetched to think that hits like the Maniscalco one are NOT technically mob related? As in, just because some guy has some connection to the mob doesn't automatically make a crime concerning him a "mob crime"?
In a similar vein is the recent murder of a relative of Hurry the Hunchback, that guy guy who got shot down in Philly, Im stuffed if I can remember his name now.

TonyG, I dont think that any hit that takes 15 slugs could be considered a "well executed" hit.

I could be totally wrong on this, but this is not New York we're talking about.

I thought this was Harry the Hunchback's nephew?!?!?!?

Hence my assertion that this was related, in addition to his book.

Ironically where he lived around ( wolf and colorado) was where FOX recently tapped Mazzoane yelling at the two oldheads...His wife spoke out about it two weeks ago saying george borgesi was leaning on him from prison..They shut down the ward, the guy comes outta jail takes over a bar...what do u thinks gonna happen there a bunch of idiots...

Vinny just out of curiosity why would you put this lowlife piece of shit scum bag baby-killing whore for your moniker.I live in Central Florida and I had to see this whore's face everyday.Eaten piece by piece by alligators would be way way way way way too good for her.

This was a plan hit for sure. I know this street (Wolf) well. I wouldnt be surprised if somebody was on a roof top shooting at him (especially since he was struck all over his body). Its almost impossible to perform a hit in this location. The street as no quick get away access by car. Goin up wolf street you have to pass about 6 stop signs and then got a light on broad street to gtfo of the place. Your gonna face pretty much face the same distance If you turn down any one of the side streets especially since most of them are very small side streets which are not easy to speed through.
