When is Gene expected to be released? September 2018. A long four years at his age. So time will tell. If he has kept himself in good shape, he could have a decent run yet. Scarfo and Amuso are already in their 80's. Madonna and a couple of other power players on the street are about that age already.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

If he has kept himself in good shape, he could have a decent run yet. The Italians are firmly entrenched at the top there. The guard has changed and changed for good in that family. He might get his stripes if he wants them but I cant see him or his brother getting any more than that.
MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack. CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go. MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'. WILL: So don't go.

Scarfo baceme boss in the 80s and Anastasia in the 50s before Apalachin,Valachi ecc nobody real knew LCN then,the police were more corrupt, and the media didn't give importance to the Mafia. That's it in a nutshell. Different time. Different media. Different law enforcement. If Anastasia was a contemporary of Gotti's and Scarfo's, he would have suffered the same fate.

No doubt if the Feds made the same effort in the 50s bonanno , lucchese gambino and accardo would have gone the same way And someone would have ratted. Not necessarily one of those guys, mind you. But somebody would have ratted if there was modern day surveillance, and RICO was in effect, and life without parole was the norm back then. And I agree that those guys in general were tougher and stronger willed. But one of them would have flipped. Maybe not a boss, but a couple of soldiers at the very least. And anyone who thinks differently is just being a romantic.

Also the saftey net of the witness protection and keeping your assets instead of 23 hours a day lockdown in some shithole a million miles from your kids is quite an allure Of course, Dom .
