Genovese was Capo of the Greenich village crew like Chin, not 116th.
So interesting dynamic. You had Genovese and Chin from Greenwich and Catena and Lombardo 116th.
Actually, Sonny, the Downtown crew and the Greenwich Village crew were different entities. The Downtown crew being centered around the old Little Italy, which was just Southeast of the West Village. The Downtown crew would go on to be run by the likes of Matty the Horse and Jimmy Ida.
As you can imagine, the two crews being in such close proximity of one another was quite confusing, which gave the Government fits. But that's the Westside for you
