Who was a better choice then Amuso at that time?? I think he was a nice choice but there were better.
I think Mike Salerno.... old school; and was well respected.. It’s a shame he got murdered because he was LCN to the core...
I also think Anthony Accetturo (Jersey Guy) would have been a good choice;

Tony Ducks DID NOT APPROVE AMUSO AND CASSO.
Thats total internet bullshit. Those two are the very last he would have ever tapped to lead. They were Furnari's guys and Corallo and Santoro had nothing to do with them.
Ducks mistake is that he DIDN'T name a successor so these two screwballs seized power, killing Buddy Luongo in the process.
The combo of Amuso and Casso was the single worst thing to ever happen to the Lucchese Family. Those two basically destroyed the family from within. Two bloodthirsty paranoid guys.
And Casso led Amuso around by the nose although Amuso was too trusting and blind to see it. Casso was a prime antagonist. But Amuso was also no good for the borgata.
Just look what happened under their leadership!... the facts and 'fallout' speak for themselves. Bad! Bad! Bad!
And in 2021 the crew is still paying for the mistakes made thirty years ago. Ducks ordered the hit on Buddy because Buddy was trying to cut Ducks off from the family while he was locked up, he saw this as a massive betrayal from a previously very loyal capo. The contract fell into the laps of Amuso and Casso.

Tony Ducks gave him that position Amuso promoted Casso to underboss in 1989 replacing Macaluso.

Mariano Macaluso got shelved by Amuso. How many others did Amuso have shelved instead of having killed? Impossible to know but made guys can get shelved for any number of reasons that doesn't warrant a death sentence.

did you see in one of these mob YouTube things that someone stated that Vic's wife still gets a $200K package at the Holidays? It was Pennisi, he said she'd run right down to AC blow it all.

What do you mean at the holidays? Every holiday, federal holidays, certain holidays, or the Holiday Inn? I'm guessing that $200K is Amuso's Christmas bonus.
