I've heard some people say that Ducks actually wanted someone else but it somehow ended up being Amuso. Any truth to this?


From my understanding Corallo was considering making Anthony ‘Buddy’ Luongo as boss. He was from the Bronx faction where the power of the family had always been. Their and East Harlem anyways. Once Amuso and Casso found out they clipped him. Corallo then offered it to Casso and Casso suggested to Corallo to make Amuso boss. That is Cassos version of what happened.


Yup! They clipped Buddy Luongo; but I think Corallo was behind the hit. Amuso and Casso wouldn't go behind Tony Ducks back and murder his possible replacement. Even though Corallo was on trial; No-one knew not too mess around with him because he was still powerful.
