Thats pretty much what i asked, if it was in fact Persico, did he have the ok from the other families and most importantly from Gambino before the attempted hit went down. Then clearly he did have the ok or like you said he would of had a serious problem.

Back to my question in the other post, did Carmine have any kind of relationship with Gambino? Would he have been Gambino's pick to take over the Colombo's? I'm just curious to know the back story between them or if there even was one.
