Interesting. Yeah he seemed desperate to come up with a crew. Seems like he wasnt able to build a solid foundation for a family or, lets be honest, even a crew. He came in out of the blue and tried to take over (permission or not, as if that shit mattered to Merlino) and was forced to make guys he just put on the books six months ago. Seems like he was doomed to fail from the start.
You have to wonde what was going on from 87-90, that three year period where scarfo was in the can and Stanfa was in Sicily. That had to contribute to a lack of stability in the organization.
