That's a good point. Casso turning rat kind of let Amuso off the hook by comparison. But back in the '80s, Amuso was just as insane. Crazy part is, a lot of people believe that Casso was Tony "Ducks" choice for his successor, but Casso deferred to Amuso for some reason. Either way, they were both crazy as shithouse rats. Still, Amuso does have his loyalists. Because if nothing else, he's no rat.


Amuso does seem to be well liked to this day by some, I've read post on other forums from guys that knew him, and they seem to have a lot of respect for him, or he might just have a big family. The whole transition after Tony Ducks went down seems sketchy. Some sources say he made Buddy Luongo the boss, and then he was killed a short time later by Amuso. If that is true people must have really been afraid of him and Casso because there was no attempts against their lives by other members in the family after killing the active boss. I read the book about Casso by Carlo, and I don't remember them talking much about the Luongo hit.
