If all the capos or a huge majority would say yes,I doubt Scarpa would do anything.


I agree; Orena should of had a meeting with the captains; and gave them an ultimatum. I'm pretty sure the majority would have been with him; People were getting sick of the Persico's; even back then.. Going to Sessa was a 50/50 and Orena should have known that. Who was Underboss at the time or Acting should I say?? Gerry Lang was put away at the time but didn't he still hold the title?
