This has been discussed ad nauseum. Peter Gotti is boss in name only. Capeci said as much. But Amuso still has clout and is not just a figurehead. Now does that mean he has total control or, say, the influence of Chin when he was in prison? Not necessarily. That some in the family reportedly suggested he step down is telling. But so far that hasn't happened. 90% of the thinking Crea is the "real boss" on these boards comes from a few posters offering that as their opinion and the assumption made by many that Amuso has no loyalists.
