Yet I keep reading on here how smart Chin was. Most of the people who say that are just regurgitating what Sammy wrote in his book
Savino was his biggest mistake, other than that he was the smartest boss of his day and this is confirmed by a lot of people who would know.
From Selwyn Raab's Five Families:
- John Pritchard, the FBI's Genovese Squad supervisor, who went on to hold high city and state law-enforcement posts, tipped his hat to Gigante's evasive abilities. ''Without a doubt, he was the smartest, most scheming Mafia figure to come down the pike in my time. There seemed to be no way to get him.''
