Amari had previously served as Badami's Underboss. His time as boss of the New Jersey crime family was short lived as Amari also stepped down and retired from organized crime. Some say his retirement was due to rebellious factions operating beneath him. Nicholas Delmore took over after Amari's short stay as boss.
