The Gambino Family wanted to whack Preston Geritano just because they thought he Cooped a Sneak on Bobby Boriello. They had beef going back to when they were hangarounds in the Gallo crew. It only later came out that Frank Lastorino whacked him on orders from Gaspipe.

Thats true, and believe me more than a few of the unsolved gangland murders over the years were committed by guys who never asked for permission (because they maybe knew they wouldn't get it). They just sneaked the guy. The hierarchies as well as other wise guys on the streets never knew, and never asked who did it..... the body was just chalked up to a "mob hit" and left up in the air.
Another good example of this was Joe Brocchini who was hit in 1976 by Roy Demeo. Never sanctioned, Demeo just did it quietly without permission. ..... he "copped a sneak"
