Genovese have had infighting and power struggles before, particularly in the late fifties and sixties. Costello getting shot, Carfano and Strollo getting offed, etc. They even caught the ruling panel on a wiretap wondering if they should whack Vito when he got out of jail. Tommy Eboli also got killed, which a lot of people credit to Gambino but it was almost assuredly an inside job.
Still, any killing they've done has been "business" and not "personal" as the old saying goes. The guys still on the street realize its better to just stay out of it rather than go to war as there is more money to be made in peace than if everybody is running around shooting at each other, i.e. Philly in the eighties and nineties.
