That article is 14 years old, Gerry. I'm sure that if something was going to happen, it would have happened by now. I don't believe it anyway. Barney was like a son to Sammy Santora. He practically grew up within the 116th Street crew. Now I'm not saying that Ida wasn't upset about. He may have been. But to try to order a guy as high up as Barney murdered, he would have set off a civil war within the family. And to Ida's credit, he had to know that. The guy knows cosa nostra. That's why I don't believe it. Personally, I think it was just a rumor started by the Feds to get Barney to flip, which will NEVER happen. The guy is as old school as he is brilliant. And there's no way in Hell he's been put "on the shelf." He's probably acting boss, at the very least. But with the Genovese family, you never really know who's who and what's what. And that's just the way they want it  .

It's true about Ida being angry that Bellomo took a plea deal. But actually trying to have him killed over that? Seems unlikely. In any event, it's obvious which one made the right decision. Of course. Soon after, I'm sure the whole family realized what a smart move that was. Ida does his bit well, but guys like Casso and John Gotti have no foresight to avoid plea deals. If they weren't so anti-government, Gene Gotti would have been out to run the family instead of Pete or Junior, who nearly brought the Gambinos down. With Casso, look what detesting plea deals got him - a rat in the form of Fat Pete Chiodo. Plea deals are the future, and one of the reasons the Genovese are surviving. Hell, they're whacking their own guys who refuse to take them just to get the message across.
