Especially if Gambino wasn't involved in the plot from the get-go?

I think not my friend!

Thats like John Gotti, Frank Locascio, and Sammy Gravano killing Paul Castellano and then handing over the hierarchy reins to the likes of Danny Marino or Nicholas Corozzo. (Ain't never gonna happen). Not in this lifetime at least....I rest my case!


You're not on a roll by any stretch of the imagination, your explanation reads like a Mario Puzo novel instead of a chronological documentation of historical facts. I am a member of other historical groups where members cite credible historical documented facts from credible sources not suppositions like this "Do you think those two guys, and the people who backed them, would have ever allowed Gambino to ascend to boss if they did all the plotting and work? Especially if Gambino wasn't involved in the plot from the get-go?" It's not important what anybody cares, what's important is what the historical facts are, not what anybody "thinks" or "feels".

Believe what you like (or what you feel you need to). Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. As I stated above, I'm not here to twist anyones arm to believe what I put forth. I only write what I believe (or know for a fact) to be true. Those who think my words ring "true" will believe. Those who don't are free to think whatever they want. Period.

I keep an open mind and if you took the time to support your premise and make your case I could be inclined to agree with your story. I mean you can even share a link to one of your own articles from your website instead of taking things personally. We're having a discussion, if someone isn't in full agreement with you position, educate them by providing independent facts for others to to review for their information. Your smart and well written, don't interpret disagreement with an attack on your intellect, there's a lot of information out there and we all make mistakes and forget.
