I posted about a year ago stating that I thought MAYBE Salvie could have run to NY and begged Big Paul to intervene.
In a nutshell, WHAT did Salvie do wrong to get killed? End a wedding days away?....OK, that issue could be solved IN HOUSE.....Scarfo could have solved this issue IN HOUSE by telling Salvie he is being fined $______ for the disrespect and maybe moved back to soldier.
I clearly remember another EXACT scenario that took place in philly....When Pollina wanted to whack his capo, Angelo Bruno......Bruno ran to NYC and we all know the rest.
In conclusion, I don't think Salvie would have taken Scarfo's place but I do believe it was his ONLY option at that time.
