What is interesting that you are pointing out indirectly is that this does make it questionable whether the Colombos were behind this. Surely they must've known who the owner of the joint was. Weren't they obligated to inform him on what was about to happen or even ask his permission? It wasn't as much a fuck up as that it was a "fuck you" to Ianiello and the Genoveses for disrespecting him this way so that makes it dubious the Colombo admin sanctioned this, knowing full well they would put a ranking member of another family on the spot like that. I could imagine there would be repercussions for the ones involved.bert wrote:I'm pointing out that them killing him in there was a fuck up, and it brought Ianiello into the spotlight and made him a major target.

He may be lucky he didn't get caught in crossfire, such as that Bonanno mobster who became paralysed by a stray bullet during the three capos elimination. Now that really sucks instead of LE scrutiny that you get anyway when you're in the mob.bert wrote:By the way, they fucked up that hit by doing it in Matty Ianeillo's place while he was there. It got him publicity and more attention, and led to a life of nothing but problems after.
Bufalino on the other hand may have not known that Ianiello owned the place so looking at it from that perspective it does make him a more likely suspect. Or perhaps the Colombos were that desperate that they saw it as a unique opportunity to get Gallo, which makes little sense since Gallo wasn't making a secret of his whereabouts (he was showing his face at the Copa of all places). That also makes me question whether he was behind the Colombo murder. Hitting a boss is one thing, not laying low after another, but then again he was called crazy for a reason..
