What amazing news, from all accounts he was a "seasoned, smart, pro" running the family, had been groomed forever and obviously was low key. To mask such a dramatic public hit is just unthinkable.

It seems to have to be internal or the wrath of god would descend upon any other family that made this call and why do they need this heat unless it was the west side over an issue he would relent or negotiate on.

Everyone assume he was the "official boss" do we have any proof ? The news from the Gambino's has been especially quiet for nearly decade.

As for the "personal beef" idea, no way he's dealing with people directly that would actually have the balls to take him out. People, remember, he was the BOSS of the Gambino's that alone would make most people shake in their shoes.

If I had to take a shot in the dark I'd say Nick and Jo Jo" Corozzo were behind it. They had the balls, resources, connections and probably the eye on the top spots for the last 25 years
