Fresolone believed that Caponigro's New Jersey operation in the 1970s was more powerful than the DeCavalcantes or any of the Jersey crews of the New York families (and this was before Caponigro was made consigliere). Fresolone said Caponigro's power stemmed from the money he made, the number of guys under him and his willingness to participate in murder.
