My understanding is that Shultz's mob actually pulled a strike on him after he cut their take to pay for his legal defense. And, his killers also whacked his three top guys who remained loyal to him. I don't think he was missed. Anastasia became the boss after getting rid of the Mangano brothers, then showed up at the next Commission meet and plopped down in the Mangano chair. Nobody said boo to him. Obviously Genovese wanted him dead because he was Costello's protector and ally, and the main deterrent to Don Vitone moving Costello out. I'm assuming Gambino found enough support among the hierarchy and rank and file to assure a safe transition. They may not have wanted Anastasia dead, but apparently they didn't object. I'm guessing that. because Anastasia outranked Shultz, his murder could have caused more impact, and therefore more risk than Shultz's demise. But it seems that neither murder had any major repercussions. This is an interesting thread. Thanks for starting it.
