He didn’t need permission, especially after what happened to him. He did have meetings, identify direct targets, no interference from others worried they were in the crosshairs for what might be considered disloyalties, when it could be interpreted as a necessity of business, based on what was you going on.

It would be amazing if he didn’t talk to at least someone regarding Vendetta, unless of course, he was a one man army. Maybe so, that seems very unlikely, Rizzuto seemed the diplomat and business man. Who prior to dying, seemed to have settled most blood debts, and regained control.

Without communicating with others to get all that accomplished would seem strange, but possible for sure.

The saying ‘by the time LE know, the street has already moved on’, could just be an old rumour from in and around the time Demarce Joesph was killed and again when Tony Magi was killed.

Now it appears Rizzuto is back in a position of influence, so whatever they are doing must be working.
