Just read in Mouthpiece- Ang's lawyer Bobby Simone saying Ang was very well
loved and respected- hundreds and hundreds came
to pay their respects including many prominent judges

So he still had a lot of power and connections but I'm guessing he didn't have many real
loyalists on the streets that were willing to go to bat for him?

ie you whack Chicken man Testa, u would have his son Salvi, Scarfo to deal with

Whack Scarfo, u have the Merlino brothers and Leonetti to worry about.... Maybe Nick the blade too and Scarfo's blood relatives Picolo's etc

Simone says Ang was always surrounded by Long John Mortorana, Chickie Narduci & Frank Sindone. According to Nicky Crow, Long John was crapping it after the murder as opposed to getting even. Sindone had some role in it since he was close to Tony Bananas. Testa his underboss according to Leonetti was feuding with Bruno around that time

So just like Castellano, Bruno didn't have many loyal guys around him which made him an easy target seeing the killing part is easy, getting away with it is another (yes the Genovese acted but we all know they had their motives)
