What i know about Tom Mix was he operated on Morris Park and very well could be the toughest sob from the bronx ever but lived on City Island, was really close to the upper echelon of the Lucchese from the beginning, i know some of the bronx guys now worled for him when they were younger he besides being close to the bronx/ harlem faction he was close to the garment district guys, He was for Buddy taking over because Buddy was a Harlem/Bronx guy he was respected in teh family besides by the brooklyn phycopaths

side note i believe Tom Mix is the one at sentencing when asked what he had to say at the end told the Judge to go fuck himslef at spit at him, and as the rumor goes they sent him to guam after that in a fed prison there
