NOTE: i realize some bosses/acting bosses tenure started earlier, ex being sam carlisi. it is widely accepted he became boss in 1986 which i agree with. however info on outfit seems to dwindle around time of accardos death in 1992 and was also a chaotic year in outfit to say the least so have chosen january 1992 as a jumping off point. those listed in all caps = BOSS, lower case = acting boss. all dates are approximate.

BOSS
SAM CARLISI (1992-1997) -died jan.2 1997

acting boss
john difronzo (1992-mar 1993) -convicted and imprisoned mar. 19 1993
john monteleone (1993-1997) -promoted to BOSS

JOHN MONTELEONE (1997-2001) -died jan.19 2001

JAMES MARCELLO (2001-2007) -convicted sept.10 2007....(nov 2003-apr.25 2005) -this is time marcello was actually free and on the street.

acting boss
alphonse tornabene (2001-2003) -stepped down nov 2003 with release of marcello from prison.
joseph andriacchi (2005-2007) -from apr.26 2005 to sept.10 2007, with marcello conviction resumed UNDERBOSS role.

MARCO D'AMICO (2007-2014) -possible moved to senior advisor, consigliere or retired from any and all active criminal rackets?

acting boss
salvatore delaurentis (2012-2014) -promoted to BOSS

SALVATORE DELAURENTIS (2014-2020) -possible moved to senior advisor, consigliere or retired from any and all active criminal rackets?

JAMES INENDINO (2020-2023) -died feb.23 2023

FRANK M. CARUSO (2023-


so there ya go my best attempt in 2025 of the outfits bosses, any and all comments, criticism welcome. i will be following this up with lists for UNDERBOSS and 5 most active crews from 1992 and on.



Good chart Vito. It would make sense that Frank is now the acting boss as he's still in a good frame of mind and has lead a very clean career, staying out of trouble and being extremely productive and made the Outfit lots of $$$ over the last 50 years. He definitely is one of those guys that runs a tight ship , keeps his mouth shut and a low profile. He's sort of mysterious to be completely honest when you compare him to guys that came before him and had the same position.
