From the total outsider/ mob researcher perspective Ernie Muscarella's crew has to be the strongest and most secretive crew around. Seem to have the most relationships with Chin, Cirillo, Barney etc.
As far as I know, Ernie and Barney are from the same crew. It's the one that Fat Tony used to run. It's could be argued it's not only the strongest crew in the Genovese family, it's the strongest crew in the entire mob. Several of the family's leaders in recent years have come from that crew.
