Remember he was outed in a plot to kill chin with the Gambino's ? Remember?
I used to think Brooklyn wasn't a Genovese stronghold but, if you look at the crews based or active there and the indictments out of that area, the family does have a significant presence there. It's just not their main powerbase like with some of the other families. Now other areas in the Eastern District - Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island - I think you could say that.
Also, I doubt Allie Shades lifespan would have been very long if he actually attempted or succeeded in taking our Gigante. I don't see others in the Genovese family laying down for him like the Gambinos did for Gotti.
