Hey Serpiente,you know I have always enjoyed your post.I have been reading Breaking The Mob.It is written by the cop who turned Mario Riccobene and the guys who shot Salvie, that Deluca guy and the Moran guy.His first hand accounts are dang good reading.He suggest from what I gather that Leonetti,who always claims he was pissed at Scarfo for killing Testa actually feared Salvie would one day take over.That the future of the family would come down to those two.That Testa was more ruthless,at 28 a seasoned mobster.Testa had a crew that was deadly and loyal.The Milano brothers,the Grande brothers, the Punges, Narducci brothers.Leonetti feared this and actually pushed for his murder.The cop states that he wired a phone call where Testa called Scarfo and told him Chuck Merlino was a piece of shit, a drunk and couldn't handle business.So Testa saw this in Merlino even before Scarfo.Scarfo and Leonetti both feared Salvie I believe.Do you believe Leonetti was sad over his "friend" salvies death
No doubt Nick was clearing the way for Phil and must of had some insecurities himself and was able to use Chucky daughter and drugs to get him out ! I don’t put nothing past these guys , they are brought up like that many had brothers uncles ect and have had it pushed into there head.
I have been in a few situations where I did not think there was any way out and that alone kept me from that life and it happened early and often very scary.
If Phil was not sad then he was a complete monster but that was not going to stop shit ...as soon as these guys think hear that someone is on the outs they are splitting up there shit in there head and try to get angles against their fellow soldiers or associates whatever the matter may be .
That life is bad .....there’s no life out of hiding it and these guys don’t hide it well most nowadays. I don’t know the real deal with Salvi but I was right there in the neighborhood and was around many close and I herd so much shit who knows what was real or the others angling.
