Just a question, how do we know this to be true if we don't know it? "plenty of guys tried to kill him we don’t even know about". And if true, doesn't that make him even stronger? I just think folks tend to look down on the Philly family in their opinions for unjustified reasons. Just like when they put down the Columbo. I tend to take the other side of it and look at the endurance of the family and individuals. If they're around a long while they can't be as incompetent as some say. It's just like when they say if Costello or Luciano would have went legit they would have been legal millionaires. I don't know how you prove that either. Apples and oranges in my opinion anyway.
