It was crazy in like the early 2010s on Gangster BB it was every day "Crea is the real boss / power" "Guy from Tuckahoe calling the shots"
They weren't completely wrong.
Crea was the most powerful Lucchese member on the street at that time in an operational sense even with Madonna out ranking him.
Even Pennisi said 'we looked at Stevie as our Boss' and he wasn't lying that whole family did.
Rank doesn't always equal power and vice versa.
Crea was one of the top 5 most powerful guys on the street for a time along with Bellomo, Cefalu probably Cali and whoever else.
That’s correct but they completely disregarded Vic and painted a different picture as a result of doing so
At that time, Crea being the official boss certainly did seem feasible, especially when information pertaining to Big John being the Brooklyn capo came to light though when Capeci spoke against it, they should have believed him.
Yep, there's straight up revisionism going on here. It was Bronx vs Brooklym, Crea and DiNapoli hated Amuso's guts they were way too smart and handsome for those goons from Brooklyn they would never take orders from him he's Ercole Dimeo. Then Amuso orders them to go to his wives funeral and they all show up.
Obviously he wasn't running things from prison it's extremely difficult to do so but he was Boss the entire time and Madonna, Crea and DiNapoli were in those positions because Vic put them there, they didn't take over the Family as was portrayed.
