Joey Giampa is a go-between captain. Same type of spot Prisco held when the genius Feds had him listed as Genovese boss of Jersey. Ange was living in Yonkers and operating out of the Bronx that entire time, yet the Feds decided he was running Jersey because he was spotted at the Port of Newark once . But make no mistake, Ange held as much power as anyone in that state. Just not in the way the Feds think.

Same applies here. Joey lives in the Mount Vernon area, operates out of the Bronx, and he's one of Stevie's closest friends. He's a conduit to the Jersey crew (and one of the most influential men in that entire family).
