By the mid to late 80's . Everyone knew what Scarfo was about. If Phil didnt flip. He was still done. The powers to be in South Philly wasnt going let him become boss. He was basically an outsider. He was nt hanging on the corner in south philly, like the rest of them.
Didnt matter what NY said. What were the genovese going to do, send a hit team to passyunk ave?
I get all that and not saying the outcome would be different.
I am saying the LCN would not ever let unmade members take a family , I am saying the reason was Phil flipped!!!
Who knows who the Westside would of put in as acting boss , but they would not of just let millions of dollars go if they were not sending a message to Nick for his rats !!!!
This all had to do with Phil flipping and a outsider (Stanfa) being put in as boss there were guys that could of been put up .
It was a clear message from the Westside
And all this just proves what a mess there life is and was , they can not control anything any longer.
