Nope. Even Roy had a hard time getting inducted by Paul. It wasn’t until he killed Mickey Spillane and formed an alliance with the Westies did Paul finally give in and inducted him in June 24 1977. The rest of the Demeo crew members were very young in their early 20’s during that time


Castellano dont wanted to made DeMeo because yes was both a good earner and a killer but also a drug trafficker and Castellano hated the drug traffickers but Gangi proposed Roy and after the alliance with the westies Roy was made.
I think that if Castellano would not give the order to kill roy for dire the gemini twins would be made and sho knows Roy would welcome a capo after gangi death.

Also not only Roy, but other blue collar gangsters. He wanted more members to infiltrate the unions during his reign so he was more inclined to making more white collar gangsters.
