I will use 2 sources, one from Gangland and one from Anthony Casso’s book.According to Gangland News - Take for instance, the notion that the feds would be so foolish – and cheap – as to put bitter enemies Amuso and Casso on the same plane for their trip back to New York. The two men have been on the outs for years and haven’t seen each other since 1991 when an anonymous caller –sources on both sides of the law believe it was Casso – tipped the FBI to Amuso’s whereabouts when both were on the lam.
But prison sources tell Gang Land that’s exactly what happened. One source said that when Amuso spotted Casso he looked venomously at his former pal and spat out a few curse words. Other sources deny it. But no one questions the likelihood that the two saw each other, if not on the plane, then later as they were transported to the prison.
For security reasons, said Bureau of Prisons public affairs specialist Carla Wilson, the BOP and U.S. Marshals Service, the agencies that transport inmates, never discuss the specifics of transfers and declined to comment about the Amuso/Casso trip to New York. She confirmed, however, that both arrived at the MDC on the same day, Feb. 11, and that Casso, who is assigned to the Supermax facility in Florence, Colorado, traveled through Atlanta.
As of yesterday, Amuso and Casso were both still housed at the MDC, but since Amuso has already been excused from appearing at Federico’s trial and can be shipped out at any time, it’s unlikely they will share another plane anytime soon. In Gang Land, though, you never know.
Gaspipe’s book - In February 2004, While walking from one cell to another, Vic Amuso and Casso came face- to-face for the first time in ten years. They had both aged considerably in those ten years. Hard time is not good for a youthful appearance.Vic, according to Casso, looked older and very tired. Unbeknownst to either one of them, they had both been called by the defense in the Federico case.
Casso was at the Atlantic Federal Prison because he was called to the Federico trial.
They were both on the 9th floor in the (MDC) in Brooklyn. Amuso and Casso were housed on the ninth floor. At this point, Amuso had not, like Casso, become an informer. As the two men were led to different cells that day, Amuso said to Casso, “I can see in your face you are sorry for going with the government.”How right he was, Casso mused that day. Casso quickly told him how the FBI and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn were more corrupt than the Mafia ever was.“On the street, if you shook somebody’s hand,” Casso said, “you could take it to the bank. With these people, you shake their hand one minute and the next minute they act as though they’ve never heard your name, I swear.”
