Quoting Leonetti “Guys like Chickie didn’t get it he thought he could just prop himself up using is wealth to become the boss he didn’t understand that NY had to approve the bossâ€. Leonetti has mentioned many times that despite being a millionaire Chickie was obsessed really with power. I’m sure it didn’t help Leonetti’s perception of Chickie that he killed Phil Testa who he knew since he was a kid
Casella knew the rules. He was a old man the time Testa got whacked and had been in the life a very long time. How he got saved is shocking.
He never expected to get busted by Nick ... they really thought anyone in the family was falling for the roofrers Union....no way.
