It all starts with the administration... they have not had one bad administration since they began. every other family has had at least one fuck up for a boss. think trickle down theory, the success of a family depends on the decisions of the administration. To this day you can find debates on whether Benny Squint was actually the boss, what's that 30-40 years ago? Does anyone ever doubt if Paul castellano or Tony Ducks were really boss?? Wealthy, respected bosses yes, but secrecy was a top prerogative for the Genovese.
