He was right on the money. Im of the opinion Luchesse might have been the top boss of his time period. Maybe not head of the biggest family,but he was feared, respected, politically connected,and there was no way Vito, Carlo, shit even Luciano get anywhere without Luchesse.Remember, he tipped Lucky off that Maranzano was going to kill him..
You serious? Neither of the three could get anywhere without Tommy Lucchese? Frank Costello had just as much, if not more political connections than Lucchese had, and he was a Luciano subordinate and was the Commissions go-to-guy when it came to political corruption.
Lucchese tipping off Luciano to his name being on Maranzano's hit list isn't exactly an example of power, it's more so a portrayal of collusion of the younger guard, and that they most likely had been planning to get rid of Maranzano anyway.
