capos who have more power then the boss

There are any cases in the lcn of capos who have more connections and money and respect the the boss ?

As far as connections and money go, several. The money that soldiers and captains earn is theirs. They just have to give a percentage to their immediate superior.

"Soldiers and captains" You mean soldiers and associates right ?

Soldiers and Captains. Made guys, period. The money they earn is theirs. They just have to kick up a percentage. There was a Gambino guy who I think was only a soldier, and he was stinking rich. He kicked up to the brass and was left alone. He died a couple of years ago. Forget his name. Someone here will come up with it.

Carmine Lombardozzi,a Gambino capo,he was super rich.

He was known as "Alberto", "The Doctor", the "King of Wall Street" and "The Italian Meyer Lansky"

The Italian Meyer Lansky

seeing how all three bosses of the Gambinos, Lucchese and Colombo Families are and have been in prison since the 90s, I would say that most, if not all captains of those Fams have more influence, power, and money then them.

which also, answers some of the questions asked before: i.e. why is Peter Gotti boss still?

I believe its because if a new boss would be appointed they would probably be taking a major pay cut. and at the end of the day: its all about the paycheck

Like Vic Amuso, Gotti is probably a boss in name only. But it helps keep the heat off and they dont want to give up the title so their families can still get a tribute.

John Gambino is super powerful, but has never been the boss. Arguably more powerful than Peter Gotti or Frank Cali.

Joey Massino was very powerful in the eighties before becoming boss, since Rastelli was in the can so often.

Could you be referring to Joe the Cat Laforte?

scarpa sr... especially in the late 80s / early 90s. he was a boss in his own right. i dont even know if he had official rank as a capo during that time but he had a big crew and did whatever the fuck he wanted. i know anthony scarpatti was his capo for a small period of time at one point
