I just looked into the federal inmate indicator and it shows that Anthony Casso died yesturday (12/15/20)

The last I knew he had COVID-19.

Anyways; What is everyone’s thought?

You beat me too it. A lot of people can sleep easier now. As twisted as he was, the feds screwed him. Vic Amuso even felt they did.

I thought about this the other day.

Corallo chose him and Vic either because he knew he would get a bigger kick up in jail OR, he knew they would whack Luongo regardless.

In truth, I believed they seized power. Corallo (from East Harlem) did NOT promote them. Christy Ticker did. They were not Corallo and Santoro's choice for boss. Buddy Luongo was. But they clipped Luongo and seized power. And Furnari backed their play with Corallo.

I also don't believe Corallo picked them. I could be wrong. It's said Tony Ducks and Tom Mix had a beef during the Commission trial. He could have stuck it to Mix by tapping the Brooklyn faction but personally I think Tony would have gave it to the Long Island guys before the Brooklyn guys. Vic and Gas just whacked out or intimidated their strongest rivals and took over.

According to Casso, it was Corallo who put Amuso in charge of the family. Because of his upcoming incarceration he wanted to name a successor and, after discussions within the family, named Amuso boss in late 1986. (In the Philip Carlo book, Casso later claims he was offered the boss spot but turned it down in favour of Amuso). Corallo then gave the order to kill Anthony Luongo because of rumours that he was planning to take over the family. Amuso, Casso, Bobby Amuso and Dom Carlucci lured Luongo to a house under the pretence of a meeting to discuss the recent attempt on Casso's life. Bobby Amuso then shot him.

D'Arco says that Amuso approached him in late October 1986 and told him he had been made the new boss (and that he had promoted Casso to captain of the old Furnari crew). According to D'Arco (who had been told this by Amuso and Casso), Luongo and Anthony DiLapi were part of a plot by Santoro to seize control of the family around the time that Santoro and Luongo were convicted. To prevent this, Luongo had to be killed. Amuso and Casso then lured Luongo to a house owned by a friend of Amuso's under the pretence of consulting with him about a dispute. Amuso then shot him and the body was buried somewhere in Canarsie.

According to William Oldham, it was up to Corallo to decide on his successor and he had to choose between the Bronx faction, the Brooklyn faction or the New Jersey crew. He settled on Amuso and Casso. In November 1986, he called the pair to a meeting and told Furnari to choose which one of them should become boss. Casso turned it down and it went to Amuso. Corallo and Santoro were not getting along at that point and Santoro wanted Luongo to become boss. Amuso and Casso decided to kill Luongo and ordered Santoro to lure him to a meeting at Dom Carlucci's home where he (Luongo) was killed.

the level of shittalking by keyboard warriors about Amuso being made boss....you know the same fucking Amuso who has been boss since what...87? Other than Jr. hes one of the longest serving bosses of all time. Tony Ducks picked a strong fucking boss and Casso was the strongest in his family so thats why he went to him first. This is why Gigante gave the Gotti hit to Casso and his team, because they were strong. The level of shit talking that you people do based on some fucking hack writer or some fucking rat is staggering.

Meanwhile....half the other families bosses turned informant, and Amuso is still boss, and only Gaspipe ratted.

The staggering government hypocrisy with Casso here is on full display. When Casso says the cops were crooked, they believe him. When he says Sammy the Rat lied on the stand in the Gotti case, he is lying? LOL foh.

Tony the Bomb, First of all I'm not "running my mouth" as you so rawly put it, I'm stating a fact! Casso was a compete piece of shit! There are wise guys, and then there are wiseguys. Some are decent, some not so much. Some are killers. Some not so much. But Casso was a next level scumbag who killed with little provocation.

He was a psychotic, ego-maniac, wanton killer of the first order. A nut job! ... He was NOT a level headed guy. NOT a fella who only "did what he had to do" and kill as a last resort. But actually took glee in killing. He looked forward to it. He longed for it. He killed enemies, friends and family alike. Zero remorse, zero hesitation.

Here was a guy who held nothing dear to him. He "admits" to 36 murders, of enemies and buddies alike. And the feds think he actually had a few more notches that he never admitted to.
Thats "serial killer" shit by anyones standards. Even the Mafia!

I have written about tons of racketeers and mob guys. Many of them I knew on a very personal basis. I actually never got to meet Casso (although I came close on one occasion between us). I'm very glad that I never did meet him.... as I said NO loss to the planet earth. And most wiseguys who "really" knew him say the same exact thing.

And remember one more thing I'm gonna tell ya. Without a gun or knife in his hand Casso was not so tough. His strength came from the end of a gun, and his absolute disregard for human life. Any life! He was a very dangerous guy because he was a psychotic fuck. End of story. So he's definitely not someone I look up to, or think was a "great" wiseguy.

There are plenty of fellas who I think had admirable redeeming qualities, but he's not one of them.

And let's face it, Casso became a stone rat!!! It took him about 2 seconds (if that) to turn rodent! So in my book?? LOL..... NO he's not a tough guy, or even a wiseguy. He's a fucking psychotic, double-banking, rat cocksucker, who I'm glad they tore up his agreement and let him rot. He was a degenerate of the first order! Many wiseguys hated him.

In fact go ask Amuso what he thinks of his former partner in crime. Go see what Vic has to say.

PS: By the way, Casso was NOT on a level of a Corallo, Santoro, Migliore, etc. Not even close. And these people had no love for him.

And I don't typically talk like that about guys in the can. Its a place I wouldn't wanna even see an enemy have to go to. But in Casso's case I'll make an exception!

While I'm at it I might as well mention one more thing. IMO (and that of many wiseguys), Although a solid guy, Amuso was the wrong choice for boss. He was mostly led by the nose by Casso, who manipulated Vic like crazy. In a mere 5 years as boss and underboss, those two absolutely destroyed what had been one of the most cohesive borgatas in history.

All they did was rob guys, kill innocent guys (and their family members), take what wasn't theirs to take, and created an avalanche of rats who "turned" for no other reason but to save themselves from two nut jobs. They literally destroyed that family. And the Lucchese's never rebounded from their destruction. Chiodo, Accetturo Sr., D'Arco, Defede, and so many others, were all solid guys who turned rat because of Casso.

Nah, he was a complete jerk off.

your entire internet presence is talking about and romanticizing mafia guys but Casso is somehow a special piece of shit?

typical for anyone who wants to be a journalist

yeah Casso was a piece of shit rat but not any more so than any of the other rats or murderers and at least he didnt bring down the entire commission from running his mouth like your example Corallo did

you say Corallo didnt respect Casso but he offered the seat to him how much BS are you gonna post?

Paul Carbone was buried alive up to his neck for 3 days before being rescued. Again, this behavior is nothing new to Shitpipe the rat and I am baffled why people act like his behavior was somehow different.

Did everyone forget about Demeo and his crew, Mad Sam DeStefano or any of the other nutcases? Casso isn't even close to any of those lunatics and in ruthlessness Id put him behind Persico.

I gotta ask you Tony, do you have a special dislike for me or something? Or are you related to Casso per se? Because I just explained my position and feelings on Casso. You seem like your very pumped up about defending Casso, or attempting to insult me. Why?

Yes, there are others who fall in his category, and as far as I'm concerned they too fall in the "serial killer," "no redeeming quality" category. You see most wiseguys are NOT like him. Many are "capable" and do what is ordered of them, yet have a distain for violence and murder. It's not in their basic playbook. Casso on the other hand actually loved killing. I put him in the same category as a Charlie Carneglia, or a Tommy Pitera. Sick puppies. Serial killers who fly under the "Cosa Nostra" label but are really just demented individuals.

The only difference between him and a Charlie Manson is that Manson didn't have a vowel at the end of his name. But both were delusional screwballs.

In the end, the one single solitary thing he could have done was to "stand up" and be a fucking man! Take the life sentence that you encouraged so many others to do and go do your time like a man. But he didn't. He RATTED! So in reality you gotta ask yourself, what kind of a guy was this?

He obviously was a serial killer, and self-centered rat fuck who didn't really care about his men or their blood families, his borgata, the oath he took, the Lucchese's or anything else for that matter. Stand up guy? Lol.... "Tough guy?" LOL... don't make me laugh.

He was a stone rat punk! And he proved that out for all the world to see. (I double down on my first statement). He was a complete degenerate with NO redeeming qualities.

PS: and he happened to have hurt several friends of mine along the way ok? So there is good reason for me to feel the way I do. Not to mention that the rest of the world (John Q. Public, and the mob feel the exact same way).

Anthony Casso was, for all intents and purposes, boss of the Lucchese Crime Family. So they effectively made a serial killer boss of their family. Great guys one and all, as NYMafia says.

All the mob families, the bigger ones anyway, profited from child pornography and child prostitution. Hell, the Gambino Crime Family made a child pornographer a capo (Robert Di Bernardo) and inducted another child pornographer into the family (Roy De Meo).

If any one of us worked under, or with, someone who was contributing to the circulation of child abuse, the lowest of the low, we would disavow them and report them to the authorities.

Yet NYMafia persists with the masturbatory tributes to people like John Gotti who left the children of his civilian neighbor without a father by having him killed in a manner befitting a Saw movie.

And that's not even the worst part. The worst part is he acts like guys like John Gotti are somehow better than guys like Anthony Casso.

In my opinion and I've made this known in past postings, I have ZERO sympathy for any mobster (I did make an exception for Bobby Manna being held and refused early release) and really couldn't care how much they suffer on their way to hell. This guy CASSO is in a class with very few others, a friend said it best when we discussed his dying. CASSO just happened to be a serial killer in the mob. By all accounts the guy was pure evil, I don't recall a single person in the know ever saying a good thing about him. Unless you wanna count he was a money maker? lol. BTW I would say he was coward and a fraud as well. Once the feds got him he couldn't do his time and ratted. I agree 100% without a gun (and others too) aren't tough guys, just murderers. There's a huge difference. Very few will just throw down one on one and without weapons. Now, Tommy Karate...well

THAT I totally agree with you on (I'm shocked that we agree on anything) Lol. The fact that Casso became the "Boss" or underboss for Amuso (but in truth pretty much ruled the roost) is a very sad commentary about the powers at the helm of the family at that time.

Instead of killing innocent members and the public at the drop of a hat on Casso's orders. Once the overall membership realized what Casso truly was, they should have gotten together and whacked him out! They would saved many, many lives. They would have prevented a dozen guys going "bad" and the Lucchese Family as a whole would have been much better off for it.

Tony Ducks was a sharp business guy. He was no pushover, but he wasn't a blood thirsty guy either. Tommy Lucchese was the exact opposite of a Amuso or Casso.

Lucchese was a astute businessman, great leader; not selfish, not greedy, not a stone killer, etc etc. THAT was what the Lucchese's were originally built on. Once Amuso and Casso rose to prominence the crew was never the same.

There were actually many soldiers who chose to retire, or just back up because of the Amuso/Casso operating "style."

That in itself tells a huge tale.

Before I forgot, If they were so tough and feared CASSO was destroying the family and putting them all in jeopardy,instead of becoming rats and running to the feds, why didn't these so called stand up guys, do exactly what Gotti did, gather enough of the family together and take them out? Because in truth they don't give a rats ass about traditions, and aren't that tough. They ran like little girls to the FEDS for safety. So those who say CASSO forced them to turn rat I say BS. They were cowards and looking out for #1. So in essence they ALL contributed to the demise of the family. IMO
