Hits under Amuso and Gaspipe

[OlBlueEyesClub]

According to the detective who wrote "The Brotherhoods", Amuso did the Luongo hit himself. Went to the bathroom and came back and straight shot Luongo in the face.

How long was Ducks in the can before he died? Im wondering how much say he had once he went in the can and also what kinda role Christie Tick played post 85 86. I need to take the time to look into this since its kinda sparked my interest. Ive been way to busy to spend any kinda time reading or researching.

From 1985, when he was rounded up for the "talking Jaguar", to his death, IIRC.

What year did he die? Did he have any involvment when Vic and Gas ran the show?

HK also posted a while back about a contract on Anthony "Elmont" Mannone, who was then a Lucchese associate and later became a Bonanno capo:

Mannone was apparently originally a Lucchese associate who was put on Amuso´s and Casso´s death list in 1990. D´Arco got the contract. Mannone fled NY and settled in Florida after finding out. Some years later, after a sitdown, Mannone was cleared and allowed to switch his affiliation to the Bonanno Family. He briefly worked as a maitre d’ at Massino´s restaurant CasaBlanca before becoming made with the Bonannos.

Corallo died in 2000.

My understanding is once he transferred leadership he was not involved, effectively shelved.

Thanks B. I totally forgot about Mannone.

So if he named an acting, as the hit list says, wouldnt you think he was trying to have some kind of hold on the family? Kinda sounds like Vic and Gas took control instead of the normal narrative; that power has always been peacefully handed down in this particular family.This would explain the family shifting away from its historical power base, right?

He's been farting into the same silk cushion for 40yrs

[Pogo The Clown]

John Gotti did say that Tony Ducks looked like a "fucking bum" because he wore that old sweater at his trial.

When Tony Ducks went into the can to do life at his age - it had to be a maximum prison. When you say he was shelved by Amuso and Casso- does that mean he was not sent money to either his commissary account or to his family? Did he leave a family behind?

[SonnyBlackstein]

Perhaps 'shelved' was the wrong term. I assume he retained the rank of soldier after transferring leadership. No idea whether he/his family were sent envelopes or conversely he retained any rackets etc.

He fades into quick obscurity in the Aumos/Casso years so the assumption is he plays no part after positional duties were transferred. As to the specific status that left him Ive not read anything pertaining too.
