The amazing thing, pizza, is the fact that people read the gaspipe book, take everything at face value and just talk about what a genius gaspipe must have been. Yup, and when younger kids read that book early on in their OC research, it tends to give them a very shaky foundation as far as that family goes. It's honestly bullshit piled on top of bullshit. The fact is we only have one account. And the account we have is the functional equivalent of politicians glorified auto-biographies about their lives. Exactly. I've said it here a hundred times: That book was an autobiography. No ifs, and or buts.

I was under the impression that even as Vic holding the title of boss, Steve Crea has been running things for a while now. thats pretty much the consensus opinion
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

I was under the impression that even as Vic holding the title of boss, Steve Crea has been running things for a while now. Correct. And even while Stevie was away, the panel was made up of guys loyal to him and that faction of the family. For all intents and purposes, the power shifted back to the Bronx/Harlem guys way back in the '90s.

Anthony Baratta is a Harlem guy isn't he? He and Crea despise each other, don't they? Yes, Bowat sided with Brooklyn back then. And look at him now .

http://www.leagle.com/decision/199823710FSupp2d227_1213.xml/U.S.%20v.%20AMUSOThis acknowledges all the talk about Amuso being a puppet leader and debunks it. It says he had full autonomy over the Lucchese family. Right? Wrong? Has Casso's influence being overstated too much?
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Casso was the dominant one in that sick relationship, Moe. It was almost like one of those sick tandems on "Criminal Minds," where both guys are capable of murder, but one guy is calling all the shots and completely dominating the other. Sure, without Casso around to instigate him, Vic was a different guy. I've heard he was actually pretty easy going and well liked. But by the time Casso got through with him, he was basically going along with everything he had to say. It's a shame, though. Vic ended up being the true gangster. He stood up, where that psychopath went on "60 Minutes," and helped ghostwrite one of the worst books in the history of true crime.

So, with these two guys it was basically you were either with them or against them?.. and if you were not with them, God help you? Maybe with Vic. But with Casso, even if you were "with" him, you could never really get too comfortable. He was too paranoid. He'd kill anyone he viewed as a threat, real or imagined. And imagined is the key word there.
