But so far that hasn't happened. 90% of the thinking Crea is the "real boss" on these boards comes from a few posters offering that as their opinion and the assumption made by many that Amuso has no loyalists.


IvyLeague has posted over 8,000 times to this board and gets paid $0 for each post. Yet, he always feels the need to belittle other people's posts. Like he's the Ruler of The Universe. If you don't like the post, try not commenting. Or do you have nothing else to do in while you live in your moms basement?


My man, shut up.


And Amuso still held power as seen in the Operation Heat transcripts, sure he inducted Scarfo Jr at the behest of the old man, but wired recordings show that at least during a short period of time, Matthew Madaonna & Joseph DiNapoli also shared faith in Scarfo Jr. Transcripts also show that it really was the talk of "a war with Philadelphia" which really was a major cause for him being demoted after Ralph Perna got out. The common belief though is those were rumours started by Jr's enemies within the Jersey Lucchese crew.
