Maybe cause he was just acting boss. Ligambi i think knew his place in that aspect and Joey was the BOSS even tho he was doing a 12year bid. They gave him that seat he obviously had to kick to them . ( or to someone) . I think Ligambi was going to become underboss or maybe even under that when Joey was released ( I think the tapes show that in Jersey. )
Ligambi had a nice little crew around him, I think that was one of the best things to happen he did alot of good for philly lcn.
Marty I've heard was really name only in underboss. ( I think him getting beat up at the bar by "neighborhood guys " says it all. (Name only ) .
What is the guess on Ligambi clearing on average in those 10-12 years ? Curious
