One word about Umberto Anastasio (Albert Anastasia).

He participated in his own hits from time to time for the sheer enjoyment. Sadism? Maybe. But the only reason they got him was he had a towel over his face and was caught unsuspecting with no body guards around to my knowledge. Other than that, you weren't going to whack a Boss like Albert at a meeting or private setting. You just weren't.
