How the commission accepted him to just go to Florida and retire is still beyond comprehensive.
You "Don't kill a sitting boss". Casella knew better. I think Narducci is the one that was encouraging him to take out Testa. Casella was a old man; He was in his 70's.
A little off topic; Is there more information about Frank Monte; He was Scarfo's Consigliere.
who says you can't whack out a sitting boss? Its always about money and benefits, the rules went out the door when Mangano got whack and they allowed Anastasia to live. The Rules went out when Bonanno got pushed out and that old world-menality went with him.
Testa out of the way, meant that Scarfo who was connected to the Genovese through Bobby Manna, was a benefit to them. Casella would've gotten clipped on general principle(just for show) but Catena spoke for him.
In my opinion Testa didn't have any "friends" in NY, so they unintentionally benefited from the situation. It was a so-what/business as usual kinda thing....
now if you wanna be alittle more "conservative" about it, it was Foul that they blow the man up in his house. Casella shouldn't have got a pass for that imo
