Regarding Corallo appinting Luongo acting boss...According to the government, and I think this came up during one of Furnari´s appeals, Furnari met with other members of the Lucchese Family hierarchy to select successors. This was during the end of the Commission trials when the bosses already knew they were finished. According to D´Arco and two other sources, the meeting participants decided on a new administration and that Anthony Luongo would pose a threat to it and therefore should be killed. Casso and Amuso were reportedly instructed to murder Luongo, which they did. I don´t know if Luongo had been appointed acting boss prior to that meeting but it seems to me, judging by what the government claimed in that appeal, that Luongo was killed because he was not willing to accept the new administration. It also seems to me that Corallo very well knew, and actually approved of his murder.
