this scenario would also make alot of sense and is not unprecedented in the annals of crime. many cases of a member doing a stretch in the can and wanting or thinking they deserve a bigger piece of the action when released or the ability to return to old rackets. this was the case in montreal with giovanni bertolo in 2005 for an example.alot of the violence seems to continue to trace back to control of 'THE BOOK' and all the rackets surrounding it. so if del balso once controlled a good portion of it, as all evidence suggests, this wouldnt be surprising. further if del balso was the point man in this with backing from as of now unknown conspirators this also helps explain what ultimately led to his demise.
