But still, after his first drug sentence Madonna could have switched to other kinds of crime; for example, Salvatore Santoro (who later became Lucchese underboss) did time for drugs, but after getting out switched to labor racketeering I think and wasn't involved in drugs anymore.

Instead, Madonna made twice the same mistake.

Tom Mix was the exception, not the rule. Because, generally speaking, people stick to what they know. Whether they're criminals or working stiffs.

He was a very bright guy. He came up in Harlem and lived right over here on City Island. He was one of the few guys with the balls to tell Ducks that he was making a huge mistake with Amuso and Casso. And they took their revenge on him by hitting Buddy Luongo because they were close. And that was the true beginning of the Bronx-Harlem/Brooklyn conflict.


Interesting.

Madonna must have known Amuso and Casso really well or heard a lot of jail talk about those lunatics from Brooklyn because he was half way through a 20 year bid by the mid-eighties and wouldn't have seen or talked to Amuso or Casso in 10+ years.
