It seems either way, the majority of the Family turned against Albert. This goes to my theory that only when you lose respect (and strength), you get killed in the street as a boss.
It also makes me wonder about The Mangano Brothers and why the Family just went with it. I kinda believe Frank Dimatteo's recounting of his uncle telling him Albert himself whacked Don Vincenzu' Mangano. (I personally believe it was a crew of guys who whacked the brothers and dropped Phil in public as the message. Albert may have actually been there.) It would seem either some other people were in on it or ok with them going. Or The fear for Albert was so paramount at the time. But if thats the case, how much of his powerbase did he lose between 50' and 57'?
Is it possible that Tommy Rava were involved at that time? Jimmy Jerome and some other guys who were close to Anastasia that got clipped subsequently, possibly involved in the actual Mangano bros hit.?
