Gambino would be my pick


Ok. I tend to lean towards what you'e said above.... and if that was the case then my question now becomes; Did Don Carlo PUT Crazy Joe up to it? Or did Don Carlo have it set up to make it look like Crazy Joe was behind it by using a black man?


Mafia Dynasty says that the only white mobsters Johnson knew were the Gambinos. If anyone has an NYT archives subscription, there's also an article in the Joe Colombo references discussing this.

(p.s. if anyone's reading this props to Rogermx. He's cleaned up a lot of Wiki's mafia articles, including Colombo)
