I also believe he claimed to be in on the Galante hit (Believe it was Sonny Black, Big Trin, Whack Whack and someone else. I think Sonny was the getaway driver).....I could be mistaken that with the Gallo hit BUT, it seems that he wants to claim responsibility for all hits that went unsolved.

Luparelli already claimed responsibility for the Gallo hit I believe and ran to California and the feds for protection.

I also wonder about the Irish guy who did hits for the Genovese. He claimed to be at the meeting with Chin, Fat Tony and, Tieri.
I take this with a grain of salt....The Genovese were too smart to trust such a huge hit to a non-member of the family. Who knows?
