I don't think Capone would've joined Luciano due to his connections to Frankie Yale. And Luciano was working under Masseria. He would have ended up under Maranzano and probably washed up under Joseph Profaci and become a very powerfull Colombo gangster. And if he did stay in New York, he probably wouldn't have died of syphilis, maybe not even get convicted on tax evasion and certainly not be sentenced to 11 years.
The whole thing is how strong you are and how much power you got and how fucking mean you are—that's what makes you rise in the mob. Every day's a fucking struggle, because you don't know who's looking to knock you off, especially when you become a captain or boss. Every day, somebody's looking to dispose of you and take your position. You always got to be on your toes. Every fucking day is a scam day to keep your power and position."
