This is exactly how I replied on the other board, Ivy:

Gigante had a chance at getting out one day, Amuso doesn't. Big difference.

Had Gotti lived, I doubt he would have held on to power much longer.

Persico is the rare exception. The only reason that family is even halfway viable today is because they're more of a blood family than a mob family.

Agree to disagree on Amuso. I like you, Ivy. No sense in going back and forth because neither one of us will give an inch on this one grin.
