For all we know the family voted Basciano in as official boss out of respect regardless if hes in the can for life (wouldnt be the first official boss in jail for life/extended period of time). No proof otherwise.
Read my signature, its about Mancuso and co.
For all we know? That's just it, we don't know. People are too quick to crown somebody the new king. It's like people on these forums hate a power vacuum. I'll believe Basciano is the official boss if and when the feds say so. Not because of some short exchange between him and Massino before Basciano got life in prison.
Your right we dont know, but it could be true. Remember last week I floated the idea that Merlino might be the official boss as the reason the feds had Ligambi as Acting Boss in the superseeding indictment. You shot that possibility down as unlikely because of lack of evidence, later in the week it comes out that Merlino is the boss.
Just saying that things can happen.
Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife? Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.
