So can all the power they had during gambino's reign be attributed only to them, or would we have to adjust for the Lucchese factor when comparing them to the Genovese?
Is there any evidence for a Genovese alliance of this type? I know that Gigante had Casso try to kill gotti. Did that come from an alliance, or did they both just hate Gotti and his breach of protocol? Does anyone know how the Genovese dealt with Gotti's idiot son and brother in business dealings? I can't see such a smart secretive group wanting to get too close to someone who would kidnap a talk radio host. (Especially one who looks so gay.)
