Marangello was lucky to have gotten a pass; He got promoted to underboss by Phil Rastelli; and starts to undermine him; and kiss Galante's *** once he becomes '"Acting Boss''... It's true that Galante was the true power of the family; but Nick seemingly didn't have any loyalty to the guy who promoted him to the #2 position (Rastelli).... Rastelli could have easily had Marangello killed..... A more ruthless boss; etc... (Gigante or Persico would have)
