What about Fat Tony Salerno? Didn't the Chin demote him to soldier in 1981 after Funzi died? And what was his rank after the front boss scam was exposed in 1987?
He was temporarilly demoted to soldier after his stroke. He was effectively acting boss once he recovered from his stroke and up to the time of his indictment in the Commission case. From that point, technically speaking, he wasn't in a position to be acting boss and I imagine he was a soldier following his conviction and everybody knew he'd never get out.
