They didn't just get lucky either - they spent like a year sending the team on multiple trips, giving the kids $10K per trip, driving weapons in from Vegas and Arizona so the kids didn't have to travel from NY with them. They were really on it

Why did they want DiLapi dead so bad? He had just gotten out of prison not long before...Were Gas and Amuso trying to muscle him out of a racket like they did Mikey Pappadio?

According to D'Arco's book, DiLapi was a close ally of Buddy Luongo and Tom Mix (DiLapi's uncle), and fled to LA after Luongo was killed.

The beef was with Glasses...Unfortunately for Al, Dom Cefalu and Vernace were tight and he might keep Trucchio shelved even though Vernace is dead...

Who knows if Al's father can intercede for him from prison?

Well this might hold some weight....another part of the beef was between Al and Corozzo Jr,the lawyer...I've seen several surveillance photos of Ronnie and JoJo Sr together so maybe his Dad could intercede in that respect...

Yeah i know that Corozzo son the lawyer got kinda nasty and made a few people really upset.
I’ve also heard ( I don’t know how much truth is in it) but he doesn’t want to be involved at all and is happy he is Shelved. after that bid, but before that bid he was doing his thing and moving up in the family.

I think that Al Trucchio is a real Cosa Nostra and that he will return to the family,dont think that hes happy to be shelved after was a rising star and feared capo.
