re: Sopranos question

Paulie might get it temporarily as a reward for betraying Tony, but gets whacked in like 2 weeks as an ineffective leader and either Patsi takes over or another strong headed up comer takes it

quote:

---

Butchie/New York takes over.

Butchie gave the okay to whack Phil, and becomes the boss of the Lupertazzi family. Then he double crosses Tony and the lupertazzi family absorbs whatever is left of Jersey. Patsi and Paulie more than likely fall in line to save their own hide.

NJ gets busted down from a family to a crew.
Paulie and Patsy are the captains, Silvio was incapacitated, Baccala was whacked, Carlo had flipped

Paulie took over the protection, shylock and sports book
Patsy took over what was left of the garbage, construction and unions

Paulie, Patsy and Silvio would have been arrested on RICO soon after from Carlo/Big Pussy/Massarone/Ray Curto/etc all flipped

I subscribe to the theory that Patsy was the one who betrayed Tony for the hit in revenge for his twin Brother Philly getting whacked.
How Machiavellian was Patsy Parisi?
