IVY LEAGUE: I'm aware of that but the argument was how could Amuso still be giving orders when he's in prison. You could say the same thing about Persico, or Gigante and Gotti before they died, but nobody is questioning if they were the boss.

Not to stir up more shit but, didn't Amuso get word out of prison to have Scarfo Jr. straighten out with his family? There are others in prison, less known who I'm sure can pass out info to the outside on behalf of any Boss or captain.


That was in the mid-90's. Scarfo Sr. also had a large part to play in that. Also, the whole situation with Scarfo Jr & The Perna's kind of showed what guys think about Vic Amuso and his say so. That isn't to say everyone felt that way, as it's been said Scarfo's backing during his plans to "take over Philly rackets", were Lucchese guys who were loyal to Amuso, as well as a few guys from the other families. But the plan never went through, which again, goes to show that Amuso's strength was waning. Now we're in 2016, it's a totally different era NOW than what it was in the 90's. I just don't find Amuso having any say in current Lucchese going on's as a very viable possibility.
