Something I don't understand... Casso said he didn't want to be boss because he didn't like all the baggage that came with it. Yet he is at pains to point out that Amuso was boss only in name, that Amuso was submissive to Casso and that Casso took over as boss when Amuso was captured.

Also... I'm pretty sure that D'Arco said it was primarily Amuso handing down orders on who to whack and other business decisions.

Is Casso right? Was Amuso just a patsy or is Casso just downplaying his role and throwing him under the bus for what happened in the late 80's/early 90's.

Finally... something else Casso says that doesn't add up is that Corallo wanted to make him boss but Casso insisted on Amuso yet other sources say Corallo wanted to make Buddy Luongo boss but Amuso took him out and strongarmed his way into the role.

It's really hard to believe some of the stuff Casso and D'Arco say. Casso basically calls Amuso a chickenshit for not breaking out of prison. How did all those escape attempts on horseback go for Casso? And D'Arco says Amuso couldn't look him in the eye which sounds like posturing to me. Casso says in the book that Amuso wouldn't look at D'Arco out of disgust after all those botched hits he specialised in and this is when D'Arco began shitting himself about Amuso whacking him.

I got to say I have more respect for Amuso than Casso and D'Arco. Never ratted, did his time, kept his mouth shut and has these two stoolpigeons talking shit about him behind his back.
