i believe the internet rumor more an more. michael had tons of money stashed. carmine persico gave out a order to kill michael in 87 88 when he testifyed in front oif a grand jury i think chicago. music or boxing industry guys. carmine strip sonny. put him on shelf and took that big long island crew away. or atleast tried. greg scarpa telling the feds all this in 88 89. then the hit goes away. im sure allie boy wou;d have never allowed michael to come back to new york to even visit. but there all locked up so 1 million could probaly buy him a pass
I concur that he possibly bought his way out.....When he left, they were still willing to kill quickly.
Right on Pmac also Michael was in the joint and then laid very low out west at first and Allie was in no place himself to be pulling of a hit like that ...look what Wild Bill hit did ....Carmine had to put a hit on him and the families never got along Carmine was very concerned about Sonny because of his tenure and the boy Lil Allie and Michael were never ever close it was one of those things .
Obviously If Sonny not in the joint so long he could of been boss and Carmine knew this trust me Carmine instilled in Allie many things and the dislike of Sonny and his sons was one same with the Colombo boys they tolerated each other but were all very envious of each other....... Persico ‘s are very snobby for people in that life ......they do not mingle well .
And all the boys but Larry carries themselves well not just the clothes they are snobby........now Teddy jr. he is the gangster street thug type many of these guys are. But he not the sharpest tool in the shed ......if he has not got his shit together he will go right back when he gets out.
