The scary part is that he was the boss after Bruno was killed, or so the papers claimed.
Without a doubt A.A. shouldn't ever have held the leaders position over the Genovese guys in Springfield. Western Mass for that matter. But here's the thing, he was never actually promoted to captain. Adolfo Bruno was the official Genovese capo over Springfield/western massachusetts, just like the others before him like Cufari Scibelli and DeLevo. Arillotta was only a soldier the whole time. Artie Nigro's puppet.
