I really have no idea who's running things in philly these days. But we do know up to the date of that meeting between the Gambinos and Ligambi that was taped by Stefanelli, that Merlino was the official boss of the family and Ligambi at that time was the acting boss.

I think the current acting boss is Mazzone and if for any reason Merlino doesn't come back when all of the restrictions are off of him, then i would think Mazzone will become the official boss and John Chang the UB. But those Scarfo guys are a real wildcard. They could cause problems.

Ligambi won't be around for at least a couple more years. I think he's going down at the upcoming trial even if it's considered a bullshit case.

Just the way it looks to me. Could be completely wrong.
