He was not made in 1974, the books were closed till 1976. And Amuso became capo in 1981 after Furnari was made number 3.

Amuso was with the Colombos then went with the lukes. He was from the same area as D'arco. The Navy yard, Brooklyn. Did some time in prison till the esrly 70's

Did they ever find out who the FBI agent was on Gaspipe's payroll?

I saw this hierarchy chart and it says that Mariano Macaluso was the official underboss during the Gaspipe era. Is this true? Also noticed in other forums that he is sometimes listed as the consigliere.

think it was. then vic amuso probaly had a change of heart, also read neil miglore was amuso first consig till he was indicted in the concrete club 2 case 1987. probaly when vic bumped casso up. when i see this thread pop up i always think casso died. guess not

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Casso


During this time, Casso maintained a glamorous lifestyle, wearing expensive clothes and jewelry, running restaurant tabs up to thousands of dollars, owning a mansion in an exclusive Brooklyn neighborhood and going on huge spending sprees. While at the top of the Lucchese family, Amuso and Casso shared huge profits from their family's illegal activities. These profits included: $15,000 to $20,000 a month from extorting Long Island carting companies; $75,000 a month in kickbacks from eight air freight carriers that guaranteed them labor peace and no union benefits for their workers; $20,000 a week in profits from illegal video game machines; and $245,000 annually from a major concrete supplier.[10] Amuso and Casso also split more than $200,000 per year from the Garment District rackets, as well as a cut of all the crimes committed by the family's soldiers....



There are people in my little town who makes this kind of money? Thats not big time money for a CN boss? Always thought they would make like millions of dollars per week.

Anyone know what happened to Michael DeSantis, he was a Casso/Amuso loyalist who did close to 20 years, but he's been iut a while now. It seems like all the guys close to Casso and Amuso were never heard from again, I doubt they fiund Jesus, but were shelved.

Every time i see the casso thread brought up i assume its hes dead. That guy been locked up since 93 and they just let that cop killer guy dino out. Nuts. I think they had to bring all them brooklyn guys back into the fold you cant just shelved a dozen shooters. On top of it crea and all them guys are probaly doing life now amuso can bring back a bk guy.

The two year gap explains it all. What do you guys make of this?

Gaspipe Casso and Sammy the Rat are the exact reasons why I have much respect for people like Vic Amuso, Frankie Loc, Vinny Gorgeous etc....stand up men of honor who took their punishment like MEN. Gaspipe and Gravano were murderous psychopaths and took the easy way out.

And was it true that before Casso flipped the Feds offered him a 22 year plea?!? I read it in the Carlo gaspipe book but find that hard to believe. If he really was offered a 22 year plea and he turned it down and decided to inform that is the definition of poetic justice. If Casso took the 22 year deal in 93 he would have probably got out in 20 years...so around 2013,2014. He would have still had his reputation and respect/honor not to mention Would have been free and back on the streets which is the whole reason why he turned rat. He would have came out as the UB/Street Boss and would have been even more powerful with Amuso in for life.

I don't often feel mobsters are hard done by, but in Locascio's case, he can certainly feel aggrieved and guilty by association.

In Vinny's case, would the Feds even be interested if he was amenable to ratting?

They got everything they wanted from Massino and Vitale. Mancuso and Urso were sent down, the family was decimated. What could Basciano bring to the table?

Also, the guy plotted to kill a federal prosecutor.

They would be no more interested in him ratting with that track record than they were with guys like Casso.

Amuso is OG.

Anytime I see a thread about him or Persico-I think they kicked......fuckers are gonna live 300 yrs

Mind your mouth.

My bad....cocksuckers just seem like they'll live on in there forever

Lol, I'm fucking with you
