"It was a bad hit."

In Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, Frank Sheeran tells us that Sally Buggs was killed by the mob for speaking to the FBI without informing the mafia, only to find he did in fact tell someone that he was having a meeting with the feds but that person forgot to pass the message on.

But is this really true? Could it be that Buggs was indeed talking to the feds, and was it in fact because of him that the likes of Russell Bufalino, Frank Sheeran and Anthony Provenzano were all sent to prison?
