Strange that Casso helped orchestrate Frank DeCicco's murder. Both Casso and DeCicco were very tight in the 70's. They both did a lot of bank jobs and hiJacking together as a team. They were tight. Don't mean a thing in that life. Now I'm the LAST guy to quote a freakin movie. But it's like Pacino said in "Donnie Brasco," You go in alive, you come out dead, and it's your best friend that does it.

"Gaspipe: Love Letter to a Psychopath," by Philip Carlo  . I know he's dead and all, but that hack should STILL be ashamed of himself for that book.

I cannot believe that. No way Amuso said that to Casso, no fuckin way.
Also, " strikingly handsome " ???? C'mon. Never heard anyone comment on Casso's good looks. That guy Carlo must of been half a fag.

It's satire. I was making fun of Carlo's writing style and how much he rides Casso's dick in his book about him.
If you took a shot of whiskey every time Carlo complimented his looks and personality in that book or all the times Carlo justified all of Casso's actions - no matter how crude - you would die of liver failure.

I shouldn't say I didn't like Darcos book but I was hoping for more. I think having two writers on that book hurt it a little Carlo's book on Casso totally glossed over Amuso as boss and basically called him a submissive idiot; which I find hard to believe seeing as he was the biggest earner in the family, headed a sophisticated heroin trafficking operation, was a bodyguard for Tramunti and Luongo and remained boss twelve years after going to prison.

When Interpol?

"Gaspipe: Love Letter to a Psychopath," by Philip Carlo . I know he's dead and all, but that hack should STILL be ashamed of himself for that book. I was just talking about this and remaking how the book was a sick, strange piece of apologetics for gaspipe. The funny thing is GGBB was generally favorable toward this book. http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=750955&page=1
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Corallo chose buddy luongo as his successor but amuso whacked him , after that corallo had little choice but to hand over the reigns to amuso and casso Is there any information about this Buddy Luongo? I'v never seen much about him. Only that he was picked as Corallo's successor before his death. I believe that he was also only a Captain at the time also.

An average librarian probably more intimating than Al D'Arco. I didn't read his book but he was called the professor for a reason- ie that he was a joke that appointed boss only because Gas and Vic decided he was too weak to be an actual threat to runaway with the family.

I'm not as knowledgeable about the mafia as some of the people here but Salvatore Avellino strikes me as a guy that could have made a decent boss. Even Bowat. Yay? Nay?

Avellino was probably a little bit too white collar. And too many people hated Bowat, even back then.

Again, I think the issue was that Salvatore Avellino had real credentials. Vic and Gas couldn't just bully him into doing their bidding without question. Because he had stature, he was a threat to take the family from them if given the big seat. On the other hand, Al was made around his fifty birthday for a reason. His chances of developing a spine were zero.
Same really goes for Baratta. Being part of the Bronx faction didn't help either, which was a feature in almost getting crea killed too.
I liken what happened in the Lucheese family under vic to what happens in third world dicatorships. Young talent often has to be taken out because people with actual skills and knowledge are dangerous to the folks in charge. Instead you are left with a ton of Al D'Arcos running around, mediocre middle managers that are too incompetent to ever take power from the great leader.

That a Harlem guy ended up siding with those maniacs was an embarrassment. And now he's pretty much a man without a country because of it.
