Salerno was almost 20 years older then Gigante; so how was their agreement?

A lot of people that don’t know anything about the mafia say that; Salerno was stupid and was just fronting for Gigante with no power..... Obviously that was not true; Salerno was the one of the most powerful guys through out the country.

What was the relationship like between Chin and Fat Tony?


Traditionally power was divided between 3 locales. Harlem, the Lower Westside, and North Jersey. So their relationship was representative of that. Chin ruled Downtown, and Fat Tony ruled Harlem/Bronx. And in New Jersey, it was Bobby Manna. The triumvirate

Someone had to be #1, it just so happened to be Chin. He was closer to Vito.
