I've read once (from a questionable source) that Anastasia did put hands on Vincent Mangano while he was Mangano's de-facto UB. Mangano reportedly let it slide.

From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Mafia members, according to the rules, aren't allowed to hit other members. For that alone Gambino could have made a justification for taking him out, but according to Capeci's information (which makes the most sense to me) Gambino may not have been on the killing. From memory I think he mentioned Joe Biondo, Steve Armone and some lower level guys and associates. As for the truth of it, I'd say it's possible. I've heard stories of other bosses humiliating their inferiors, although not necessarily hitting them.

Didn't Joe Bonannos say it was Mangano who pretended to slap Gambino? And it's probably bullshit. Bonanno was clearly jealous of Gambinos power on the commission and Gambino supporting Gaspare Degrigorio. No he didn´t. Read Lou Para´s post above. Bonanno told of fistcuffs between Mangano and Anastasia. But who knows...Bonanno might have been jealous of Mangano and/or Anastasia... Thanks. I must have been mistaken.

i always heard this but cant see it being true. Wouldn't Anastasia been hit for such a humiliating sign of disrespect to a well liked/respected/powerful senior guy that Carlo was? I dont see why this wouldnt be true,Albert was a hot-head so theres nothin wierd about him slappin any1 that was under his rule
