What precipitated this beef?
Also, i don't get why Crea was always stuck at #2?
Matty Madonna told some Bonannos at a funeral that the Lucchese family didn’t recognize Mikey Nose as official boss because he was in prison. Which seems ridiculously stupid being that the Lucchese boss was doing life but I believe there was another aspect to this where Mikey Nose had written a letter from prison and I forget exactly who it was to or about but Mikey was basically ratting someone out for cheating on his wife or was it a woman cheating on their husband? Something like that maybe someone can fill in the blanks because I’m forgetting the details but Matty Madonna was given this letter and I think that’s what really turned him against Mikey Nose if I’m getting the timeline right. All this leads to the confrontation in the social club.
As far as Crea being stuck at #2 this is just another case of rank not reflecting a person true power. Even Pennisi from a totally different faction of the family said they all looked to Steve as their boss. And you have DeSantis, Dellorusso and co telling Steve at that meeting where they took over the family that if he beats his case they would support him for acting boss, which says it all about the kind of respect he had from the family.
Why didn’t Amuso just make Crea the acting boss straight off I don’t know but I’d guess Madonna was easier for him to control.
