Veasey's mother was Sicilian, so why is it such a big deal that Stanfa used him?
Tommy Del Giorno's mother was Croatian, yet nobody bats an eyelid about that.
People read far too much into surnames.
Veasey was also a known junkie who happened to be the top enforcer for the Stanfa side. The Philly mob of the early 90's was a shadow of what it was in the 80's. Merlino's fanboys act like he took down Nicky Scarfo or Angelo Bruno. In fact, Nicky Scarfo is lucky he was sent to prison or else Merlino would have killed him and taken over the Philly mob. Then he would have kicked the Gambinos and Genovese out of Jersey and taken the state for himself. Talk about glamourizing someone. LOL
