In one of the Gang Land News articles Capeci wrote about Gotti and Malangone supposedly plotting against Chin. Basically the same thing Chin, Failla, and Marino wanted to do but in reverse. Chin would be killed and Allie Shades installed as the new boss of the Genovese family.

I've always wondered if that was really true. I have my doubts. And even if it was, I think Allie Shades would have been signing his own death warrant. I don't see Chin's loyalists tripping over themselves to anoint Allie Shades as their new leader the way so many Gambino captains fawned over Gotti after Castellano was killed.
