Tumac was never going to be the boss, thats bs. He didnt snub amuso out of disrespect, he did it ou of greed as well as fear. Im betting he was going to run to the bronx for protection and possibly join them in a coup attempt.
Martty was much younger than Michael. Michael T was closer to anthony. Michael ran the crew. Everyone loved michael t and everyone loved michael p. Anthony had a good relationship with corallo and was kicking up to corallo. Corallo wasnt greedy with jersey and let them earn, hence their good relationship. Michael T and tumac ere much closer to the bronx than brooklyn. The bronx and jersey were shocked when amuso became boss and even more shocked when amuso along with casso demanded a bigger cut from jersey. Jersey wasnt used to this and viewed it as a bad sign. When amuso called jersey to brooklyn, they balked ( at first) and then went. Jersey had the end of their trial and there was already some friction between anthony and michael T. Jersey as well as the bronx/ westchester were content with their prior arrangement with tony ducks. The demands amuso made were disrespectful and greedy. Jersey basically kept coming up with excuses as to why they werent bringing in more money. Other meetings were arranged and jersey wouldnt go, they didnt want to have to explain why they werent sending amuso more cash and knew amuso was pissed and he viewed jersey as a threat due to their tightness with the bronx. Amuso and casso both said, fuck it, the guys in jersey have to go. Jersey had a good crrew but not a match for casso and amuso who had a seemingly unlimited amount of shooters.
Take this to the bank- the taccetta’s made a lot of money, both michael and marty.
While this was going on, strong cases were being made by law enforcement in jersey to go after the Taccatta crew.
Taccetta wanted tumac dead as well as ricciardi. Michael tried to work out a deal with casso, thats no bs.
No one died, but many flipped and many did long stretches in prison. Marty T is still locked up and michael t and michael p are home and laying low enjoying grandchildren.
