The Armone Crew theory is far more solid than any of the previous ones.Most mob historians will agree that somewhere around 75% of everything Vinnie Teresa ever "revealed" is total BS.There are many problems with the Gallo/Persico/Rent-A-Profaci story as well.For starters,the main guys behind the hit were Vito Genovese and Carlo Gambino----there is no evidence that Joe Profaci was part of the plot or was even in favor of it.Neither man was particularly tight with Joe Profaci and each had access to numerous "work" crews of their own.Also,the eyewitness' descriptions of the shooters is more in line with Grammauta and Wittenberg than any Gallo crew member---the estimated age of the shooters,in particular.Even though the shooters tried to disguise themselves,the shop manicurist got a pretty good look at them.In addition to all of that,while there have been a few notable exceptions,most major hits within a Cosa Nostra Family are carried out by other members of the same organization----another nod to the Armone Crew and the nominal supervisor of that crew Joe Biondo.
