I wanted to see peoples theories on who killed Joe Lopresti? I wondered if Gerlando Sciascia did the actual murder and it was approved by Vito Rizzuto. I read that Vitale gave Sciascia the permission to kill Lopresti but felt George had already did so. Because Sciascia complained that Lopresti was out of control and was abusing drugs, selling drugs, etc and that's why he was killed. Even if Sciascia got permission from Vitale for both he and Lopresti were made men in the Bonnano family. How would this sit well with Vito that Sciascia kills his liasion from Montreal and NY and close and trusted member of the sixth family? It makes Sciascia look like he's going rouge and betraying Vito. I ask this because it seems that Vitale's word has be questioned and he's known as a liar.
