I think the Lupertazzis take over Jersey. They put Paulie in as defacto boss of Jersey, while officially being a Luper captain that kicks up directly to Butchie and the Luper admin. I think Paulie was in on whacking Tony, too. David Chase, or one of the show's other writers, should do some Sopranos novels. I understand the concept of letting the show be great as it was, but there are just too many fans that are craving more of this story.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
