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.
