I know the title died with Massimo but this guy is making waves could he be the next Gigante or Gotti?

he's definitely more low key but has been a great boss so far. May have to wait a few more years but i would say yes

How do you know he's making waves? I haven't heard a thing on the guy since he became boss

hes always been a great earner

Completely agree there but I wanna know what Lombardo knows on this.

He's a construction boss thats his main source of income but the guy sounds well respected

i think the next capo dei capi would be a genovese o gambino boss

True I don't think a Lucchese Boss as ever been the chief. Overall they're a stable Family, and Crea has helped with that, but I think that in today's day and age you're unlikely to see that position even being informally held like Massino did.
And even if such a rank were to exist again, I agree with m2w it would be a Genovese or Gambino Boss as they are the two strongest

maybe dom cefalu

He's too low key. If word got out to the Feds he somehow became Boss of all Bosses the FBI would go ballistic and indict his ass in a month. Like I said, at this present time, no one will get that rank, and I don't think anyone does. It attracts too much attention

Cefalu the Boss of Bosses?! It wouldn't happen. He's Sicilian. It could cause a divide similar to what Galante did. Then the bodies would start showing up. The Feds would love that though.

There is no such thing as boss of all bosses in America. That ended in 1931 when the commission was invented.

People 'supposedly' led it though. For example from 1957-1976 Carlo Gambino controlled the commission, though technically he wasn't 'Capo di tutti Capi'

Yeh its called the 'Chairman' but John Gotti being the 'unofficial Chairman' is nonsense especially being number 2 to the chin. Plus that wikipedia information is just crap anyways.

There is no thing like Capo Di Tutti Capi anymore in the US and same goes for Sicily.

Gigante was Chairman, not Gotti.

FBI should be worrying more about terrorists instead of the mob

Although, Carlo Gambino possibly held the title through the fear and respect he generated.

Carlo was the true Godfather no doubt about that. The most powerful boss in New York today has to be Cefalu or Crea. Bellomo would be up there but he's not technically 'boss'. Hell no one really knows anything when it comes to the Genovese's.

id say quiet dom and benny eggs are the 2 highest guys in the genovese

You forgot Barney Bellomo, Mario Gigante and Daniel Leo. I'd also think that Larry Dentico is higher then Quiet Dom, as Larry was official consigliere whereas Dom was acting. I also figured due to Dom's health, he remains capo - although with lots of power.

Couple of questions. Leo is due out of prison soon. I heard he was dropped as Acting Boss. Is he still high up? Also I assumed Mario Gigante was retired. And how active is Quiet Dom?

oh yeah forgot about Mario Gigante and Daniel Leo. you dont think quit dom and benny eggs have more power since their age?

Age doesn't guarantee mobsters power. Albert Facchiano was a soldier when he was in his nineties. His capo was in his seventies.

Anyway, wasn't Benny Eggs now confined to a wheelchair with various health problems. The guy is ninety and will never become boss.

Mario Gigante is 90 also

so quite dom, barney, and leo are probably on top

Although he is retired, Mario is like Costello after stepping down in 1957 - an inactive soldier, but from time to time is called upon to give advice because of their standing.

Big three doing well- Genovese, Gambino, Lucchese
Not doing well- Bonanno, Colombo

Saying that the Bonanno and Colombo families are doing bad is based on overall perception. As it stands, both families current leadership is unclear and they may be small, but that doesn't mean they will make less money. I keep an open mind on current mob matters. Anything could happen.

My only thoughts are how the Bonanno and Colombo Family especially hold on to their rackets in Construction and Local Unions when they get guys thrown in jail? Gambling and loansharking aren't problems, but the other rackets?
