After watching it again I strongly believe it was actually Butch DeConcini from the Lepertazzi family that had killed. He used Tony to get Phil killed so he could become boss.

But…
The guy wearing the Members Only jacket could’ve been related to Eugene Pontecorvo. In season six, Vito made fun of Eugene for wearing a Members Only jacket. That guy in the restaurant could’ve been related and wanted Tony dead for being responsible for Eugene’s suicide. Farfetched but I still believe Butch had Tony killed.

I think the most evidence points to Butch/New York being responsible. The plan was to always cut the head off of the snake and do business with whatever is left. I think Paulie & Patsy would be okay with that. In the overall mafia game it’s ironic that Not Phil or Tony, but Butchie that came out on top.

Agree, and I also think Paulie had a lot to do with it, too. Went down the YouTube rabbit hole and thought this video on scissors strung it together pretty well…

Sopranos - Scissors

Also, Paulie 1.) worked w NY crew when in prison, 2.) feared death and would do what he had to do, 3.) was purposely spared by Butchie, and 4.) was the last man standing when basking in the sun in front of Satriele’s in the finale.
