Carfano meeting with Anastasia down in Florida is from FBI informant NY 3864-C-TE. The informant sees Anastasia almost every day from 1954 till Anastasia is killed. Anastasia would go down to Florida to see Joe Rivers a couple times a year. The informant said the first meeting was in June 1957 at the meeting was Albert Anastasia, Gambino Capo Joseph Silesi, Gambino soldiers Tommy Altamura and Joe Florino, Genovese capo Anthony Carfano and Genovese soldier James Caponi. The second meeting was sometime before October after Anastasia had another meeting with Trafficante over casino profits.

There are numerous witnesses that saw Anthony Carfano was told by the hostess that there was a phone call for him. A couple of minutes later he came back to the table and told the group he had urgent business to take care of and he and Janice Drake had to go. Their bodies were found near the airport almost an hour later shot to death. Police have theories that it was Frank Costello who tipped him off, and Tony Bender anticipated such a move to have someone hiding in the backseat of the vehicle.

When I say Capos opposed Genovese as boss, I am talking about the six capos mentioned above. Besides things really cooled down when Costello and Genovese were in the same facility and compared notes, that they realized Anthony Strollo set alot of it up and was pitting both camps and both Costello and Genovese at each other. Tony Bender went on a trip to New Jersey in 1962 and was never seen again. After that, many members of the family began working with each other again, then Joe Valachi happen when Genovese failed to silents him, however the most likely two reasons why Vito wanted Valachi gone was he did not get cuts in the Narcotic deals and was believing Vito Agueci everything he was saying. That angered many members in the family even members in Genovese loyal ranks.
