Was the resentment towards Big Paul justified? Granted it is a different era, but look at John DiFronzo in Chicago. From what I read he sits back in his mansion and collects from his construction business. He isn't out there getting his hands dirty with his street guys. Why was Castellano resented for doing that? Was Ducks Corallo or Snake Persico busting their ass in the streets? Probably not. I bet you they were sitting back collecting the money just like Big Paul.
Besides being seen as greedy, Castellano also didn't win any points when he gave his OK for the Genovese family to kill his captain in Connecticut.
These, in themselves, were't enough for most of the guys in the family to do anything beyond gripe. But obviously many of them weren't all that sorry to see him go and fall in line behind the new leadership. Everyone knew what had happened but only Failla and Marino tried to do anything about it.
