He was brutal. The power went to his head and in a small town like Altoona, he had surveillance out the ass and never hid who he was. He was an earner, but his obsessive jealousy over Alfred Corbo didn't do him any good in the eyes of Michael and Jo Jo. Regino ran that area with an iron fist, but low key. He had his vending company and went to work every day like a businessman. Legitimate company. Verilla was an enforcer, which was bad for business when overseeing a small crew.
