Of course. I agree with this a million percent. I always say this, but everything is relative to the era that you were active in. Bruno probably ordered more murders than most of the sitting bosses today.


Ok, that's what I mean. Someone somewhere (not necessarily on the BB) mentioned that Bruno was very secretive about the way he orchestrated hits. He would supposedly have the hitter not know where the mark would be disposed of. He would send in a separate team to take away the mark and dispose of them in secret locales. It was like a double or triple blind experiment or something. I'm not sure of the exact methodology, but it seemed like a "need to know basis" type of MO.
