Not if you are staring down at them from NYC. Bruno controlled Sindone and Narducci. They were local heavyweights and involved outside of Philly, only as much as Bruno allowed. Bruno always understood that NYC had the power; so he wasn't going to risk his relationships by allowing others in his family to get close to the power. For some odd reason Narducci was never able to grasp this concept; that NYC had the control. He must have been under a rock when Bruno was killed. Bananas must have been a fool too. He wins a huge sitdown the year before, FROM Tieri, then reconnects with the guy and thinks he's got the power and kills Bruno. And then he ends up dead. What you should really be asking yourself is how Narducci and Casella could move on Testa AFTER they saw what happened to Bananas and his brother in law Freddy Salerno. You think they didn't know that the commission killed them? If anything, I would think that Johnny Keys would have been spared. He had that Peanuts Tronolone guy from Clevelend who was tied into the Genovese to go to. I read that he was killed on Scarfo's request because he asked someone in the Gambino family if he had a shot at boss.. But I also read he was a conpirator in the Bruno murder and that's why he was killed. I agree with PHL_MOB in that that Casella must have had some HUGE heavyweight help to get his life spared. Otherwise, dead. But the moral of this story is that all of those guys were expendable. I mean Tony Bananas, Frank Sindone, Johnny Keys Simone, Chickie Narducci were all more important guys than Casella and they were killed for their participation
Boss of tha toilet!

Cassela must have had some serious clout with somebody who had some serious clout with Chin. OR, it was a quadruple cross......Casella had the most power and he was in on organizing the whole thing..... Chin told him to get the troops to do it and he would give him a free pass to Florida with a few million to retire with......Just speculating of course The only one alive that may know the 100% truth is Manna and he ain't squealing!

Stanfa was definitely involved in the Bruno hit. After the hit, they had police protection for Stanfa while he was in the hospital, one of the officers reported that Stanfa was visited by Sindone & Salerno, and that they were speaking in Sicilian with each other. After he got out Stanfa was spotted by surveillance with Tony Bananas in NY before he got clipped. Leonetti says in his book that once Bananas got whacked along with his brother-in-law, the Genovese soldiers went back for a guy they believed was Nicky Scarfo, Anastasia says years later that guy was revealed to be Stanfa, through informants.
Stanfa was definitely saved by Carlo Gambino and his family, Stanfa had some sort of deep Sicilian familial connection with Carlo, and he vouched for him and saved his life. I read it was Castellano who also was the main reason why Stanfa was named boss when he finally returned to Philadelphia.

That is your proof that he talked in the hospital and after the hit? OF COURSE HE DID! Why would he not want to get in with the possible new powers to be? He would be killed if he didnt fall in line. That evidence is flimsy at best.

That evidence is flimsy at best. Not sure if serious? The hospital point was just one bullet point basically among the other reasons I've mentioned. Others didn't fall in line and pretty much killed the conspirators. Stanfa would've been among those dead had it not been for his links with the Gambinos. Consider this, Stanfa was Bruno's driver the night he was killed, they were in Stanfa's car. Supposedly, according to the authorities at the time, they believe Bruno's window had either been rolled down after Stanfa saw the gunman, or it was rolled down already, but according to them, it was only the passenger side window which was rolled down. The gun was pointed directly behind Bruno's right ear. They probably didn't suspect Stanfa would be caught by buckshots. Keep this point in mind, days after the shooting, literally days after, Sindone & Salerno (may have been Caponigro) are in Stanfa's hospital room, huddled around his bed and they're all speaking Sicilian, according to the cop guarding Stanfa, who was Italian but didn't speak nor could he understand the dialect. After Stanfa is released from the hospital, he's seen in NY with Caponigro on more than one occasion. According to Leonetti, Stanfa was present at the meeting in NY in which Caponigro & his brother in law were reportedly killed, accompanying them both, but was told by either a member of the Genovese, or Caponigro or Salerno, to stay behind. And this is according to Anastasia, after they rid Caponigro & Salerno off the face of the planet, a soldier was sent back for Stanfa, whom that soldier mistakenly believed was Nicky Scarfo, but once that soldier got back, Stanfa was gone. Considering all of those things, it pretty much points to Stanfa's involvement in the Bruno slaying. Not to mention his comments at the Crime Commission investigating his murder, in which he was jailed for perjury. The evidence was clearly against him.
