Actually he is. When Chin died, Mario was chosen. Mario being semi retired brought Daniel Leo in as a front man.
There is no evidence for this. Only some FBI intel, written about by Jerry Capeci in May 2004, that he had stepped up as one of the family captains to help run the family. There is nothing to suggest he ever became the official boss or even the acting boss of the family. Chin was the official boss until his death in December 2005 and there is a clear line of others that were acting bosses both before Chin was incarcerated and after. Mario was not among them but, as it appears, simply one of several captains helping to run the family.
Now that Leo is gone and Mario has fully retired, its now Lawrence Dentico or Anthony Antico.
No evidence for this either. Larry Dentico just barely got out of prison in May. He is a New Jersey-based captain who was helping to run the family under acting boss Dominick Cirillo before they, along with captain John Barbato and acting-captain Anthony Antico, were indicted in April 2005.
