How many of those guys in that crew got wiped out by Casso?
Of the guys I just listed? Only Luongo and Salerno himself.
The one thing you have to realize about Salerno---and this is often overlooked---is that when Tom Mix got bumped up into the administration, Salerno inherited most of his Bronx and Harlem soldiers.
Salerno and Santoro were very close. And you have to give Santoro credit for being the one guy with the balls big enough to tell Ducks that he was making a huge mistake with Casso and Amuso. I personally feel that when Casso found out about it, he hit a lot of the Bronx/Harlem guys out of pure spite.
You also have to realize that by that time, Tom Mix was already doing life stemming from the Commission case. Because he likely would have just said fuck it and gone to war with those assholes.
