Philly had far too many young guys that were made. I believe Scarfo insulated himself by moulding young guys. Kind of like why the marines want 19 year olds to train. You guys listen and arent set in their ways yet.


Why wouldn't that ever happen in New York? Sure, it's probably true percentage wise that Scarfo inducted more guys in their 20's and 30's than what usually happens in NY. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Barney Bellomo was only 20 when he was inducted into the most highly regarded family in the whole American mafia.

And why wouldn't Castellano sit down with Salvie Testa? Salvie was well respected and considered 100% LCN to the core, and his father was also well respected before that. Danny Greene had a sit down with Big Paul AND Fat Tony Salerno while he was at war with Cleveland. If an Irish associate (if that's what you wanna call him) can get a meeting with the two most powerful godfathers in the country while he's at war with another LCN family, why wouldn't a well respected captain from Philly be able to sit with Paul?
