Yes zvattoni and I think pmac added to the rest of the story. I think this narrative seems to be more accurate. As if ducks would be effectively overpowered by Casso Amuso and tick - would never happen. Ducks goes back to the heyday with lucky Lucchese etc - no one saying anything against him.
Mix was on the outs with him and buddy was his guy - buddy had to go.
Fish’s account is interesting though and seems like the story that an element of the family got behind.
I agree with your assessment that no-one is going to cross Ducks. He was boss for over a decade; but I'v read on this thread before that while Ducks was on trial; He was sort-of manipulated and not too in-touch with the streets. He kind of reigned in a bit I should say. I don't know any reason why Vic and Gas where even considered to be boss material to him.
Why was Tom Mix on bad terms with Ducks? Someone in this thread mentioned a power-play. How could he make a power-play when it was certain that he's going to prison for life.
