This is why I make a big distinction between power and money.Castellano had all the money in the world, but he didnt tend to his "Power", and got killed. The sicilian inzerillo faction had like,the gambinos, spatolas,bontade, di Maggio,,heroine labs, real estate, businesses, connects to the fuckin italian p-2 lodge, all of this and got decimated cause they tended to business over "Power". Like I think its true the Genovese have been the richest family, but not always the most powerful. This is something Chin and his click really took seriously once they were in full control. Notice how Chin was more focused on Cosa Nostra rules than money? I find it striking in Leonettis book how he says Testa was Boss, Narducci was rich as hell, but neither of them were more powerful than Scarfo. This is why i scratch my head when people say the Genovese were always the most powerful, to me power in New York in the 30s to like the 60s was very much in flux...
