Attrition and the RICO law have beat the Mob Families down like nothing else. New York will just take a lot longer.
Smart men like DiFronzo knew when to retreat.
It's all a big poker game on the streets with the FEDS AND SOMEBODY YOU KNOW WELL who might be talking to them.
You got to know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em.
DiFronzo Brothers, Andriacchi, Lombardo (who got unlucky) and D'Amico all understood the Poker game very well.
Lombardo did get unlucky. I'll never understand why Pat Spilotro thought Lombardo could have done anything to save the Spilotro brothers. Lombardo was in prison and couldn't do a damn thing-at least not that time. Who knows? As much as Aiuppa loved Lombardo it may have been the fact that he was in prison that saved Lombardo from getting killed as well in that he was supposed to keep a lid on Tony Spilotro and did not do a good job of it...
