Juventus, if there's one constant in human nature (Mafia or otherwise), it's that we should never underestimate a man's lust for power, respect and glory. Loyalty may have had something (maybe a lot) to do with Salerno's decision to front for Genovese. But I believe Raab makes clear that Salerno enjoyed all the trappings of power, money, respect and fear that went along with his position.
