Lots of dope. Put the dope money on the street. Lots of debts and lots of favors owed. He was a master politician. Just like the men he was schooled by and the ones who have succeeded him. He was a master manipulator, something he learned from vito. He could create friction between two crews if he didnt trust them. Unions/construction, he more inherited thru his crew. Not saying he was a slouch, just that wasnt his thing. He was a natural leader and had more experience and lessons than anyone else. Heavy fucking hitter too. They talk like gotti or casso was trigger happy but look how many ppl chin took out.
