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


As acting boss it is not protocol for Orena to poll the capo's himself, that is the job for the consigliere. Like when Gotti become boss, it was Joseph Gallo who polled the capo's for Gotti. Gravano nominated Gotti and Gallo polled the capo's.


How Carmine Sessa became Consigliere in his early 40's is mind boggling. He didn't have a long tenure as captain either.

Think he became a captain in the late 80's. He had a brother Mike Sessa..

Read C. Sessa was close with Gregory Scarpa after he got his medical diagnosis.


. Plus Sessa only got made in 1987. I think March 1987 he got made or around there. So He rose very fast
