Official boss? I dont think so. I think its a panel that chooses one or more temporary acting/street/front bosses, underbosses, whatever. I wouldnt write any of the senior guys off just for age. A good guess? Take a look at who was closest to the village guys. Dentico, mangano, cirillo, gigante, all these guys could be decision makers. The heaviest guy in the street today IS barney. Hands down not even close. Hes thirty yrs senior on made guys his age. Look who schooled him, sammy black, tony, and chin. Most internet researchers act like vinny b was the biggest heroin dealer in the bx but no one mentions barney. Ppl forget him and sal larca sr were partners. Plus no one whos still breathing or on the street can come close to how violent he was in his day. The guy was chins bulldog for fucks sakes. A guy as violent as chin had him do his work.... Barney could be number 1, but i doubt now he wants it.
