You're correct. The hit itself was a disaster - investigators have said themselves that they had pretty much solved the case within a few days of the hit going down and spent the rest of the time making it into a big racketeering indictment - but the planning and chain-of-command was all standard mob protocol. For example, look at the 2009 hit of Anthony Seccafico, the Bonanno soldier. That hit was (most likely) ordered by the administration and passed down the chain-of-command, but there isn't any physical evidence that ties any specific person to it, and it's going on a decade still unsolved. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, pretty much all mob hits quickly led back to the administration and life sentences were handed out like candys. Nowadays, with less rats due to less intensive FBI surveillance, bosses have a much better chance of getting away with murder.
