Veasey was never a capo, what are you smoking? Veasey reported to Martines. The only person who's ever referred to him as a capo is Dave Schratweiser, but he calls everyone a capo or captain.

The Capos under Stanfa were Luigi "Gino" Tripodi, Salvatore "Shotsie" Sparacio, Joseph "The Nodder" Sodano and Vincent "Al Pajamas" Pagano. Veasey's mother also happened to be italian.

Stanfa should have appeased the Merlino/Ciancaglini faction as they were already operating before Stanfa became boss. He made a bad move making Joey Ciancaglini the underboss considering he had a falling out with his brother and Merlino in the 80s.
