Good post, this is a great example of something I've suspected about this time period, that the genovese were a fractured family, rich, connected, but too much into their own businesses, and it hurt their standing with the other families.
Like I keep wondering, why would lucky make deals with gambino and Biondo?
Cause his two top guys in the streets in NY, gEnovese and Adonis, he nor Costello could fully trust them. And the guy they could trust, Anastasia, was uncontrollable and volatile, hence the need for a new alliance, Gambino.
Also it underscores the jealously between these guys;
See joe Adonis was his own boss really, the Broadway mob, but now he's gotta take orders from Costello, moretti, maybe mangano too. Guys he most likely felt bigger than, just like the situation with Vito....
