Any time b4 that I think the Gamvinoa were just so much bigger stronger and more stable.

Remember Carlo was the boss of bosses and Castalleno was the boss of bosses.

BOTH controlled the commission
So they had that additional power.

Gotti lost some of that power when took over.
The commission never officially ordered a hit on Gotti
Y?

He had too much power.

Chin had to get his errand boy Gaspipe,
However, what was left of the commission 1)Gave the Colombo's a seat back 2) Acknowledged Orena as official boss

That was Gotti's doing


I think Carlo probably built them up to be the powerhouse that they soon became. I’m not sure if they were even seen as equals to the Genovese family when Anastasia was boss. Carlo must’ve been a smart guy
