My thats a pretty significant piece of info there.... So Crea was an Amuso initiate/protege?

That goes a long way to explaining Amusos continued clout. The guy also came from the Gallo crew, that's gotta count for a LOT in NY. That crew was very close to Chin, also a shrewd move to put his own young guy in the Bronx to keep that faction close. I think Amuso might be one of the most misunderstood mobsters.

The assumption that ALL his power comes from Brooklyn crews, might be a bad miscalculation...
