"considering a top hood in the Connecticut faction of the family"
Who the hell could that possibly be? Isn't the currently-in-the-can Anthony Megale the boss of that faction? He seems pretty low-rent (and associated with morons like Greg DePalma) along with constantly being in the can. If he was so powerful, you think someone would have been made in CT in the last 25 years.
Tony comes home in December of next year. But I agree that the "top hood in Connecticut" remark is ridiculous. They haven't made a Fairfield Gambino since Tony because the place is a giant clusterfuck for them (and no, Dean is
NOT made, no matter what some Internet chart says).
That being said, Tony is the
only guy who seems to be able to run that area even halfway efficiently. Every time he goes away, the guy who gets put in the top spot fucks it up. That's why it's always been an associate. They just don't want to make any of those guys because they're shellshocked from what always happens up there. The first time Tony went away they put Davy Crockett in charge and he ended up a federal witness against Junior. Tony came home for a few years, and when he went back inside Dean started to run things. Now he's a standup kid and a good earner, but he's also forever getting arrested.
Tony will come home next year and stay close to home. He's a relatively low key guy (in that he's not very flashy and he doesn't really hang out in mob spots). He's a Connecticut guy through and through. Give him the gambling and the run af that area and he'll be content.
@ LittleNicky: You really can't lay Greg Depalma on Tony because I know for a fact that he got stuck with him. Shit like that happens. A guy like Tony will often "inherit" a guy like that.
