To those who read other things on Valachi: The Pelham Parkway scene?
Possible spoiler:
Seems unlikely that Luciano would come uptown for a meeting with his boys; Seems even more unlikely that Valachi would be on the same elevator with them; Seems impossible that he would get credited with being proactive when he suggested they try and kill all of them, especially when he didn't do anything but drive the car and the killings didn't happen.
I know Valachi's testimony was staged, I know Maas wanted to sell books and I know screenplay writers lie.
So what was the true there?
