Regarding the Vegas situation, Lombardo knew exactly what was going on, obviously. They were his rackets, after all. He was out there a great deal during the 70s & early 80s. I maintain that Aiuppa & Cerone wanted him dead as well.
Good post Huron, I appreciate your insight. Do you think Lumpy was getting a cut from all of Spilotro's activities, including the burglaries?
Why do you think Auippa and Cerone wanted Lumpy dead? Power consolidation? Personality conflict?
It is my understanding that Auippa was a hothead with a notorious temper and always seemed to be in a foul mood. Is that consistent with your understanding? Do you have any info on Auippa's personality and management style?
