All the research I have done points to Ducks either ordering or okaying the hit on buddy. The generic view that buddy was tapped by Ducks to be boss seems to be false. Casso and Amuso were tapped. In fact Casso seems to have been tapped ahead of Amuso by most accounts. Who knows anyway but I believe that account. Also I think ducks had enough sway to get Amuso and Casso hit at the time buddy was hit. Further pointing toward ducks being cool with the buddy hit
