I just read the book on Chin and he was portrayed as being the most against selling heroin and other drugs among all the bosses. Is it possible that the Genoveses sold less drugs than other families so they avoided harsh sentences? I know some of them did sell it, but was it to a lesser degree than other families?
No, don't think so. Genovese are as guilty as anyone else of selling drugs. Wasn't Vito genovese himself the family name sake himself deep in the dope game and ultimately brought him down?
