Captains really took a lot of shit during Amuso's reign. Amuso screamed at Fat Pete Chiodo in front of lots of people, humiliating him in front of everybody. There were genuine mitigating circumstances for Chiodo ratting, not just this incident; you also had the attempted hit on himself and his sister. So I'd have a bit more empathy for him than D'Arco. As much empathy as I could feel for a criminal.

D'Arco, like De Fede, used his promotion to steal family money. And D'Arco also used his newfound power to settle old grudges.

I'm sure he built quite a nest egg for himself with all the money he was pilfering that was supposed to go up the ladder.
