It's an old story that's been discussed many times on the forums. I've never believed it. The Genovese family had any number of guys capable of running things without bringing in an outsider. It's an absurd theory. The Westside was flush in the '70s. The rumor was probably started by "The Arm."

But what was Bufalino's real degree of power even if he didn't have influence in the Genovese family? Was he a local or a national power? I honestly think that if he was really THAT powerful, he wouldn't have spent the whole 80s in jail, 2 convictions in a row. Almost every boss spent the 80's in prison.

there was a lot of power full capos in that family at the time I think the commission told him to step in the family and mediate the disputes going on. so Vito dies in 1969 we never heard if there was a capo vote cause we here Phil the eye took over but scarpa wasn't snitching them yrs but in 75 he says funzi in charge. there got to be some stuff in those merry ferral files. Benny Squint was the power in that family for that entire decade. No ifs, ands or buts. And Benny having Funzi front for him paved the way for Fat Tony fronting for Vince.

Bufalino owned some businesses in NYC, but I never bought the story that he ever led the Genovese. He did I think it was only for a few year because two of their top guys went away It had mentioned him running the genovese in that new bufalino book that came out last year ..
