Speaking of the "Deal with the devil" book, there is one thing that interested me for years, yet almost nobody seems to have an opinion on the subject: did Scarpa indeed frame Orena and Amato for the Ocera hit he had done himself, did he frame them for something THEY had actually done but used fabricated evidence / perjured testimony or were Orena and Amato guilty as charged? The book supports the idea that they were indeed innocent and framed, but what about the tape where Bonfiglio was ranting about not being rewarded by Amato for his role in the hit? The book "conveniently" says nothing about it. Could it be possible that Orena, Amato and Scarpa were in it together and Scarpa later laid blame on the accomplices? But the book suggests Orena and Scarpa hated each other, no way would they conspire together.
What do you think?
