GV, I haven't read Sheeran's book yet and I know his claims are widely disputed, but how much influence did Buffalino really have in some of these infamous hits like Anastasia? The movie makes it seem like he literally made the call although I doubt that's true. It would seem the movie and Sheeran's claims put him in the Gambino-Costello faction of the conflict with Vito Genovese. Did he really have a say in some of the more significant mob events of that time?
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
