If the hit on Tony succeeds (season 1), Larry Barese, biggest crew in da fuckin' family... would take out Junior with New York's blessing, and become boss. Ally Boy would probably run the family while Larry's in federal prison looking at his reflection in the plexiglass. Can you imagine that? Becoming boss, getting a face lift, and one week later you're in jail?
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
