Natale was a guy who went from being unmade to boss in one swoop. Gotti was acting capo but the books were closed at that time. When he was made, he was immediately capo. Natale was away doing 15 and wasn't made when he went in. When he got out he was made in a ceremony and he was also made boss at that same time.
I wonder how that ceremony went. That is, if you beleive he was even boss to begin with or just joe jerk off.
