Corleone Mansion Part Of Real Estate Conspiracy?

Last week, an offer was made that many couldn't afford not to refuse when the “The Godfather” house on Staten Island was put on the market for $2.9 million. But a conspiracy may be afoot: the real estate broker who is selling the site of the Corleone mansion is the daughter-in-law of the real-life Godfather who was an inspiration for Don Corleone’s character. Connie Profaci is married to the son of “olive-oil king” Joe Profaci, the founder of one of New York’s five crime families (the Colombos), who was once described as “the nation’s No. 1 racketeer.” Even though the Profaci family has since gone legit, we are superstitious men, and know there are no such thing as coincidences; could Luca Brasi have paid someone a visit?
