Hence conflicting stories.

Again, we can go round and round and round and round and disagree. Is it really just you nees the last post on this thread and then youll consider yourself victoriius? What dont you get that that many people still believe the family to be active and viable for a number of reasons?



And we're back to this argument:
A person can be the boss of a family in name alone. Hence Billy D'Elia. Hence Vincent LoScalzo. Hence, as Giacomo said, Figlia. He is the boss, despite the fact that the family he is apart of is defunct. He is the boss in name alone. This isn't apples and oranges. This is the case across Mafia families across America. Buffalo doesn't have special rules meaning it has different terminology. As long as that person never steps down, he is the boss until he dies. It's not difficult. I've explained this dozens of times. I even tried to use a nice little tree analogy for you to understand, and it still went way over your head.
Vincent LoScalzo is the boss of the Trafficante crime family. Is the Trafficante crime family still active? No. It's just happened that the boss and underboss (Frank Albano) have survived while the family around them has perished.

The feds do not consider the Todaro crime family active. They have said explicitly that they don't. Stop propagating this lie.
