Tony ducks murdered all his rivals. These guys are mafia bosses that’s how he made it to the top.. Tony Pappadio was a rival,Tony had him gunned down in front of his home
And his other rivals like Johnny Dio and Carmine went to prison and out of the way
Joe palisades would have been a rival in his younger years but a lot of these guys were extremely wealthy. Ducks was making millions in the 1950s with his paper locals w Jimmy Hoffa.so it was easy for him to be diplomatic,like only asking for a Xmas tribute from New Jersey.. Casso and Amuso had every right to take out Acceturo,he refused to pay the tribute that was demanded of him(wonder how Anthony would have reacted had Michael tacceta tried to do that to him).... I think everyone should understand that for the old timers, the thing they valued and respected most was the ability to kill...praise for murder was really the highest accolade you could have received...
