What do you guys THINK happened regarding Luongo?

It's claimed that Ducks tapped him to be the boss after the admin were locked up for life but are there any reliable sources for this? Any of the Lucchese rats say anything?
Been awhile since I read it, did Gaspipes book say anything about it? Might of been that book that told the Amuso brothers invited him to a meeting and Bobby A (?) killed him and disappeared him, story.

Why would Ducks make Amuso boss, after killing his first choice? Can't see an old timer like him standing for that disrespect. Unless what happened to Luongo was a mystery to everyone but the Amusos.

Apparently Ducks was influenced by Furnari into choosing Amuso ( or Casso) but there where better, more experienced captains to choose from.

There's very little info on Luongo, what do you think happened?

I don't think Corallo choosed Luongo as "Acting boss".

I think Casso and Amuso got rid of him because he was the most powerful captain at the time and was a Bronx guy.

Corallo was so focused on his trial that I don't think he really cared...

But then again; Corallo had enough clout in 1987 (He was still on the streets) to have had Casso and Amuso whacked alongside Luongo.

I'm not sure what happened in this situation but Furnari manipulated Corallo to some extent.

Tom Mix at the time had a sour relation with Corallo so it's not much Tom Mix could have said.

That's why I asked if there was any Lucchese source saying Luongo was going to be the boss.
I just can't see Corallo/admin doing nothing to Amuso / Casso if it was true.

Why did Santoro fall out with Ducks?

@dsd

I'm not sure; but I think it had something to do with Buddy Luongo.

There's other theories why Buddy Luongo got killed;

He was trying to make a power-play against Anthony Corallo and Corallo had him whacked.

It sounds pretty legitimate since Amuso/Casso never got whacked.
