On a related note, did anyone read that attendees brought envelopes for tribute to Vito?

Again, I found the concept of Genovese being recognized as the boss of bosses to be ridiculous, leading to my thread here....











What do you think about this part of the book - http://books.google.mk/books?id=JugCAAAA...own&f=false ? It just makes me think of it as mob fantasy similar to "The last testament of lucky Luciano" book.

Edit: Where did you read this - attendees brought envelopes for tribute to Vito?
