Did it ever come out some Luchesse informants mouth that Amuso was totally overwhelmed by Casso?

As, that seems to be stated as a fact.
I mean Amuso , wasn't boss for nothing. How do we know Casso's saying in his book that he turned down the boss job is true?

I think Amuso has been wrongly written out of his standing


Al D'Arco seems to imply Amuso was out of his depth, but that's just one guy's opinion. The fact that Amuso was chosen as boss and has been able to keep control of the family for so long says something.

And yeah, as far as I know Casso is the only one to say he turned down the boss spot (and captain spot before that). In earlier testimony, he said Amuso became boss "after discussion within the family".
