@ Serpiente

What things did he do for the commission? Do u think he was supported by all of them for the boss position? He's still in prison at that time.

@Kingoflittlenewyork

Exactly. I agree with what your saying; Everything exactly fell in his place after Colombo was hit. How in the heck did the entire family fall behind him???? Being the Boss and/or delegating the same responsibility to guys like Tom Dibella. I believe Persico had something to do with the Colombo hit.

@Hollander

They were close at some point. Theres a picture out there with them together in the late 60's. Maybe there was a disagreement a few years later that made Persico want to hit Colombo while he was in prison? I really believe it but this is just my opinion.
