We hear about other bosses having opposition;
We never hear Corallo haven’t any opposition and he kept control over his family until he went to prison in 1986…
Who were guys that he took out besides Andimo Pappadio? He was an option and powerful opponent for. Corallo and most think he was killed over it.
Are there anymore???
After Pappadio got whacked and Corallo was ratified as boss, for the rest of his career he never had another challenger. Tony Ducks had been a highly respected member to begin with, and after his ascension to the top seat he treated everyone fairly, so he was well received by his rank-n-file and other NY families alike.
At the time of his death, Pappadio had been "acting boss." He was a top figure himself, highly respected since the early days of Tommy Brown. He resisted stepping down. So Tony took him down!
