Louis Manna was Consigliere under Chin. Think he had control of 4-5 crews in Jersey.

Neil Dellacroce is another example.He served as the Gambino's #2 under Carlo,and then Paul, and was basically given Carte Blanche to run his own operations.
Actually.he had one of the sweetest deals in the Mafia world. He served minimal jail time, earned a ton of money from his crews,and had as much power as many Bosses.He did what he wanted,and kicked up his share to keep the status quo. He was smart enough to stay where he was and avoid the unwanted attention and increased Law Enforcement pressure that the top spot would bring.Just like Carlo,he died wealthy.free,and in bed.
