Back on topic, my mistake in my earlier post, the attempt on Casso was started by Michael "Mickey Boy" Paradiso.
In the "Mobsters" documentary series, in the episode about Casso, it's said the it was Angelo Ruggiero who sent Hydell and the other one to kill Casso, no mention of Paradiso I think (although I watched it long ago). Strange, is it a mistake or were they both in it together, Ruggiero and Paradiso?
The Mobster series gets a lot of things inaccurate and leaves crucial things out as well. Like attributing the Anastasia hit to the Gallo brothers. Other sources have said that too, but in the episode about Gallo, they promote it as being a fact. It was Micky Boy Paradiso, whom may or not have been acting on the orders of Angelo Ruggiero. Ruggiero was incarcerated, and it was definitely Mickey Boy who sent the hit team after Casso, supposedly because of Casso's feud with Ruggiero, but Paradiso & Casso had a feud of their own over money from a heroin deal, that was said to be everlasting. In the end, it was Paradiso who had a contract placed on his head, for some time, by Gotti for arranging the attempt on Casso. His friendship with Ruggiero could've also played into that though, Gotti knowing the truth didn't want to kill one of his closest associates, so he placed the hit on someone whom was involved but wasn't as close to him as Ruggiero was, thats my theory. It's also interesting to note that court papers in relation to Mickey boys indictment in the early-mid 2000's list Anthony Ruggiero Jr, Quack Quack's son, as a member of Paradiso's crew. So there's a huge possibility Mickey Boy and the elder Ruggiero worked in tandem to try and kill Casso.
