Great thread.
Good contributions by all. B, outstanding, par for the course with you.
One small note regards Napolitano: Why was he killed? Either we believe he was clipped due letting an FBI agent into his crew, the first in the mafia, and as a result there was a hit placed on Ruggerio's life, confirmed, and Mirra clipped.... or that immediately post having an FBI agent into his crew who he proposed for membership, and after the three Capo's hit, he would make a play for the family leadership, and in doing so, would go unarmed to a meeting in a basement, whilst making a power play.
Thats the ridiculous brief, it gets worse with further analysis.
Common sense indicates which is more likely.
But Massino did testify to that, so choose what you will.
Did not intend to derail. Back to Canterella.

For what it’s worth, Massino also testified that Mirra was killed because he was suspected of being a DEA informant, which is what Cantarella was told.

Correct. This is what Massino testified. Amazing coincidence the three guys who brought in Pistone, two get clipped and one a contract on his head, all unrelated to Pistone, immediatley after.thekiduknow wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:39 am For what it’s worth, Massino also testified that Mirra was killed because he was suspected of being a DEA informant, which is what Cantarella was told.
Anyway, as I said, do not want to derail.

Lefty also mentioned that Mirra was a stoolpigeon.

Napolitano was making his power play before Pistone was outted as a Fed. Pistone quotes Ruggiero as saying that Napolitsno was "beefing" with Massino and that he was making a play to become Consigliere. So he would have been on Massino's hit list regardless of Pistone.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.
