I've wondered that too!
I suppose, in those days Canarsie was the car crime capital of Brooklyn and I've heard of the Lucchese having junkyards all over Brooklyn.
Testa and Senter were a notorious pair in Canarsie so I guess somewhere down the line they met Casso (or one of his guys who eventually set up an introduction).
Remember Chris Rosenberg got killed because of a little side venture that Roy Demeo originally knew nothing about.
God knows what activities Joey and Anthony were into that Roy didnt know about!


Wasn't Joey Testas brother, Patti, a Lucchese guy?


That´s right. The same time Joey was an associate with the Gambinos, Patty was an associate with the Luccheses. This makes me believe Joey Testa´s connection to Casso was initially through his brother.

Yeah. Kinda ironic because according to mafiawikia (not sure how credible, lol) Casso was also the guy who arranged for Patty to get killed, then spread the story that the Gambinos did it in order to justify a hit against Junior Gotti. If that's true, Casso was a very calculating individual.
