The clip in the video you posted was from the Mafia’s Greatest Hits episode ‘Downfall’ and it also has some others with Avellino and Corallo. It has them talking about making their sons ‘if the life is good enough for you...why wouldn’t we want it for our sons’ conversation.

It also has Corallo talking about whacking guys in the junk business to make examples.

The Lords of the Mafia episode on the Lucchese family has a wiretap talking about Andy Russo making his sons which led them into the conversation I mentioned earlier.

Inside the American Mob episode ‘Taking Down the Mob’ has the same conversation about making their sons.

I think this was the tape where Corallo says that there's no way "this thing" could last another 10 years. This was in 1987, btw.

Speaking of Ducks, I recall another thread where someone said that Amuso wasn't his first choice as successor. Can anyone expand on this?

Tony backed the NJ faction I read led by Anthony Accetturo and his protégé Michael Taccetta.

Considering his rather morbid prognosis of future rackets, I take it he wanted the family to head in a more white collar direction, like Gambino did in his final days by choosing Castellano. Someone clearly had other plans with Amuso getting picked.

I thought Anthony Luongo was his choice but Amuso and Casso strong-armed their way into the hot seat by making him disappear. His body was never found, was it?

He had a special relation with Accetturo for some reason. Amuso was a major narcotics trafficker so I can see why Tony Ducks wasn´t a fan.

Tony Ducks wanted Anthony Luongo as boss and Anthony Accetturo as underboss. Corallo was not a big fan of Amuso, besides him being a major drug dealer, it is said it had to do with Amuso being with the Gallo brothers during the first Colombo war. He was ok with Casso being in an administration position as Gaspipe knew the in and out of the rackets, both being feared and a major earner for the family. Once Anthony Luongo was killed, Corallo abandoned the setup he wanted and told Christy Tic that Gaspipe can be his successor. However Casso declined in favor of Amuso becoming boss, and by that time Corallo did not care it seemed about the crime family, so he did not vote it down. Macaluso was the underboss and Migliore had maintained communication with Tony Ducks. During the Amuso and Casso purge, many members who were loyal to Corallo, and remained in the Bonx and Manhattan were killed or attempts made on their lives.

That's funny. Because usually when someone turns down the boss position it's because they want to fly under the radar and dodge any heat but Casso was front and center with Amuso, virtually inseparable when Amuso was on top, and then later did things to undermine Amuso. Some say it was Casso that ratted out Amuso's location to the feds so he could take the #1 position. But by then I guess he had nothing to lose because he knew the Feds were closing in on him too.

Basically if his reasons for turning down the boss position were to lay low he didn't do a good job of it. He basically used the power he already had as carte blanch to settle scores and remove Amuso's rivals.

Isn't he also suspected in the murder of Patty Testa who was close to Vic?

The hit on Neil Migliore was also a bold move by them, but he's still around lol.

gaspipe was a soldier in 1986. he wasnt gonna jump to the boss seat over a dozen capos some who were around lucky. he gave a interview and said all that shit. christy tic picked amuso as his capo to take over the 19th hole crew. he took amuso from the gallo crew and brought him to the luchese family. tic was lent to profaci in 64 from luchese to kill the gallo gang. tic and amuso were close. when tic convinced tony ducks buddy did something wrong he got the ok to tell vic kill buddy then vic becomes acting boss. the story of tumac becoming underboss was started by him when he flipped and was giving rabb interviews for the times. he was on the run in florida dodging supeonas so how could be underboss in the 80tys. gaspipe and tumac like many other rats make themselves legends

I read something that stated that Neil Migliore was actually the 1st choice to replace Corallo as Boss. He was however in the courts and the idea was dropped. Seems plausible because they were close.

Ducks was the driving force behind the GOTTI plot.
Casso was executing the plan mostly because 'Ducks" wanted it done.

The Vincent Gigante was the driving force, but Tony Ducks wanted his family to personally take on the contract. Killing a Boss was a big no no, and ducks wanted to send a message. He was against the explosive device but ultimately went with the Chins plan. It was supposed to be Gotti, but when Frankie D was seen with Frankie Hearts, the hit team mistook Frankie Hearts as Gotti. Only to find out later that Gotti was not at the event. Tony Ducks was angry one of his own got hurt, but was satisfied on Frankie D, so he pulled back some, and whatever the Chin did was on his own, but the Chin still had Amuso and Casso doing the dirty work at chipping away Gottis loyal and dangerous members in his inner circle therefore weakening Gotti.

yaeh agree. gigante it seems was the driving force behind scarfo to avenge testa being blown up in philly. he was probaly a conspirior with funzi tieri having bruno killed. i also think he was behind the boston guys killing ray jrs underboss wild bill grasso for muscling in on hartford and springfield. they used genovese guys but the shooter was a patriarca guy from springfield but i dont think anyone was using any of chins guys without his approval. makes you think he was very invovlvedin other families afairs
