What about Vincent Gigante attempting to rub out Frank Costello. Many things could have went wrong; Gigante trying to murder his Boss is considered treason. After Costello survived the attack; What if he placed a hit on Gigante? Pretty sure, Costello had a few loyalist, who would have taken up on the offer. This should be considered a brazen act despite having the backing of Vito Genovese.

What comes to mind is Joe Colombo's refusal to take part in Magliocco and Bonnano's plot to kill Luchesse and Gambino......That was an extremely bold move that paid off immensely for a short while.
I wonder how was Colombo so sure that by revealing this plot, that Gambino and Luchesse would accept it as fact? They could have interpreted it as Colombo himself being power hungry and rejected it's validity.
Gambino had been a backer of the Gallos according to Scarpa so he must not have been a fan of the old Profaci administration. According to Joe Colombo's son, Colombo and Gambino had been close for years. So I presume Gambino happily accepted the news. He gets an opposition boss removed and has him replaced by an ally. One act that I think should get a mention is Albert Anastasia taking out his boss Vincent Mangano and Philip Mangano. I'm pretty sure that's the first time a NY boss was taken out in 20 years. Then he shows up to a Commission meeting and basically pleads self-defence. I know he had the backing of Costello, but that's still pretty brazen. Bonanno, Profaci and Luchese should have teamed up to take him out but they must have been too scared. I guess they just didn't want to rock the boat. Then again, I'm getting all this from Bonanno's book. Maybe it was a Commission sanctioned hit but Bonanno wouldn't admit that.

Didn't a Colombo guy spit it Carlo Gambinos face in front of his wife maybe he just mouthed off to him can't remember the whole story Dominick Scialo? Tony Ducks' right hand man, Salvatore Avellino, was allegedly manhandled by George Conte. Venero Mangano was slapped around by an associate according to Al D'Arco. D'Arco showed his appreciation to Casso and Amuso for elevating him by skimming off the top. Anthony Accetturo and the Jersey faction spat in Casso and Amuso's faces by refusing to pay proper tribute and refusing to come to meetings when they were sent for. Joey Merlino and Mike Ciancaglini represent probably the grossest infraction in modern LCN history; they tried to whack a boss and his son, put the lives of innocent people in danger in the process.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Dominick Scialo was drunk and slapped Carlo Gambino in the early 1970s and was killed few days after; the jersey crew refused to give to casso and amuso the 50% of the money that made in a year and didn't went to the meeting because casso gave the "Whack New Jersey" order and acceturo knowed that go to NY will be sure dead,In the 1990s Philly was reduced to a street gang so didn't surprised that Merlino win the war.

Al D'Arco may be prone to bouts of whimsy but he didn't claim to have beaten up Mangano. He said a friend slapped Mangano and Mangano backed down. I don't think his friend slapped Mangano and lived. There is also a lot of question as to the existence of the friend he spoke of in his book. I never said it was true. But D'Arco said it. And I don't know why he would lie about it, because it doesn't benefit him in any way to.
