Maybe this is a stupid question.... but who was Amuso's consiglieri in the 80's and early 90's?
Frank Lastorino.
Lastorino was acting consigliere later, in the early 1990s, before being demoted due to his conviction. Before him, Mariano Macaluso served as acting consigliere (for Furnari). He was demoted by Amuso and replaced by Casso. Casso was however soon promoted to underboss.
The position of consigliere seems to have been vacant thereafter until Lastorino was given the spot.
Right, Hairy. The way he posed the question was late '80s, early '90s. And the best answer for that time frame was Lastorino because of the vacancy in the post Furnari years
.
And let's be honest, with Casso the Consigliere spot was strictly a cosmetic position anyway. He wasn't taking anyone's advice about anything. He didn't want counsel. He wanted "Yes Men."
