So louie went to casso and fingerd bruno a informant. So he got whacked. Vic amuso kinda went the extra yard an told the killers to put a canary in his mouth. Makes you wonder if there was a little personal between the 2. But again casso give the info to amuso.

I know that place very well, pretty quiet hotel with doormen, concierge and staff always present in the lobby. Actual people living there. It is absolutely impossible to shoot somebody there and remove the body without being heard or attracting attention.
Let alone the fact that it is a mere 10 min walk from the damn U.N so it always has some foreign officials or the secret service roaming around. These guys had to know this since they had used the place before.

As you say, Pennisi believes as D'Arco does, that he was going to be clipped. Yet the circumstances seem questionable.

I am curious as to where Pennisi got his info from. If Mike himself said he was going to clip Al, then that puts it to bed, but if its third party washer women gossip, he's no better informed than us on the board.

We'll likely never know.

Good point. I always assumed Pennisi heard it directly from DeSantis or more likely, Dellorusso (who had just been moved out of Al's crew around that time). Those two seem like the only people around today who overlapped with that crazy early 90s transition / bloodletting period . I'm sure there's a couple more too but I can't think of any off the top of my head. A DeSantis back story would be kind of cool - I think he was brought in through Chiodo or Pagliarulo but even from a younger age seemed like a big shot in his own right

Charlie, much love and respect. You and bronx are the only guys I believe who are 'on the ground'.
But you prove my point that this 'hit' was bullshit.

I mentioned a bunch of reasons above, and combined with yours above, anyone want to put their hand up and disagree?
Please state why when you do,

Charlie, hope you and yours are well and healthy.
