    Is this Caption just "cheap click bait?" Genovese did not succeed in killing Costello. Costello survived the hit attempt by Gigante ordered by Genovese and lived until 1974 after suffering a heart attack at 82 years old. Genovese died in prison [for drug trafficking] in 1969 at 71.

      Valachi was in prison with Genovese and knew he was marked for death because he was suspected of being no good when he was solid. So he got paranoid and killed a guy on the yard who he thought was a Genovese goon coming to kill him. That's when Valachi gave up on the life and decided to become a rat to expose the whole thing to the government and public.

    Genovese was not a patriot of the USA while in Italy during WW2. He "switched sides" from Musillini to the Allies when it became "convenient." Genovese was a gun happy idiot who was only concerned with his own promotion and wealth.
    Tony Accardo the top boss of the Chicago Outfit, for decades did not attend the 1957 Apalachin disaster. His underling Giancana went there. Accardo was too smart and had ordered a "no drug selling" policy on the Outfit in Chicago and he held Genovese in contempt, and he didn't answer to NYC.

  • @bobkonradi1027

    Vito Genovese DID NOT kill Frank Costello. He did issue a "hit" on him, and Costello WAS shot along the side of his head, but it was a basic miss by the shooter, and Costello recovered from the hit (miss). Costello, did , however, decidt to move to Florida and retire from the Mafia, so it a way Genovese did achieve his goal of taking over Costello's mafia boss position.

    5 months after the May 1957 failed murder attempt of Frank Costello by Vinny 'The Chin' Gigante under orders from Vito Genovese, Costello ally, the notorious gangster, Albert Anastasia, aka, "Lord High Executioner", was gunned down in a hotel barber shop. This further reduced Costello's hand ( a lot!), all but forcing him to step aside. Anastasia was head of the infamous "Murder Inc".

    Vito Genovese never killed Frank Costello, he had Vincent"The Chin"Gigante to do it but failed and only grazed his head and the bullet I believe was lodged in the brim of his Fedora. Frank Costello later claimed he didn't see who shot him. The Chin had supposedly said thanks Frank after he was found not guilty.

    The best thing I can say about Vito G. Is he understood a man’s love for their mother.
    During the time Vincent the Chin Galante was thugging around with his brothers their beloved mother was in need of a life saving surgery and they didn’t have the money.
    Vito admired the potential in all of the brothers especially the Chin so he paid for the surgery and all of the brothers became 100% loyal to Vito.
    When Vito asked the Chin to kill Frank Costello he was all too happy to accommodate and place himself and his brothers to be made in the Genovese crime family.
    Luckily the bullet grazed Franks temple and he didn’t croak.
    The Chin was arrested and he stayed loyal to Omertà as did Costello .
    How about that history.

    It's kind of a shame the family became known as the Genovese family and not the Luciano family. Genovese was a power hungry dog who wasn't below betraying anyone and everyone to get his way, and he merely took advantage of Luciano's exile to force his way in as boss. The family should've kept Luciano's name considering it was the premier family from the nation's most influential boss.
