Who really knows who is boss of the Bonannos? I think that a couple old-timers are running things now and just said that Mancuso is boss so everyone can focus on him being on top while they try to keep the family above water. Then when Mancuso gets out, the heat is still on him (which doesn't matter to most of the family because Mancuso isn't highly respected, as PB said.).
I agree with everything here with one caveat: The Feds aren't stupid. They know everything these days (whether they can prove it or not is another story). They have to know that Mancuso is just a lightning rod. And by the time he gets out, the dust will have settled and everyone will know what's what.
