1960-Present, 1908 is just to far back for me.

Yeah. I was combing through FBI Files on Joseph Barbara and I found a lot of info no one had uncovered. The BB's kind of in a dry spell so I think it would be nice. I also have a few mugshots but my scanner's broken...
No I was thinking of doing a chart. I'll do it now.

But Sheeran also claims Bufalino got the contract on Jimmy Hoffa and Sheeran killed him himself. And if that wasn't enough, Sheeran also claims to have killed Joe Gallo. Sounds kinda bullshitty. By the way, who do you think really killed Hoffa? Kuklinski claimed he did it, Sheeran claimed he did it, who else? Who do you think is more believable? Another question, sorry for the off-topic: how many years did Sheeran do after being convicted with Bufalino? I am sure I read somewhere he got a long sentence but in the only documentary about Sheeran there was no mention of him ever doing time.

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."

I am sure I read somewhere he got a long sentence but in the only documentary about Sheeran there was no mention of him ever doing time. I haven't read any of the books on Kuklinski, mainly because of the guys on here that said he was full of shit. I MIGHT could have believed Sheerhan but then he claims the Gallo murder as well. It's hard to believe he pulled off two of the biggest hits in mob history. I tend to think both are full of shit. I think it was probably a couple of low level, no-name guys out of the Detroit family that took care of Hoffa.

It's beyond far-fetched. Who in the family would acknowledge his authority? He'd be seen as a temporary outsider with no real power. Besides, this is to assume that there was nobody in this huge family that could assume that role and they had to send away for somebody. It's absurd. If there is serious infighting, an impartial outsider everyone respected might be just the right person to prevent a civil war. The leaders would have to agree to make it work though.

I don't agree with this theory. The Genovese family had plenty of capable guys who could've filled the spot. Has nothing to do with having "capable guys", especially if there were 2 sides ready to hit the mattresses. It could have been a temporary stop gap to prevent bloodshed. Maybe Bufalino was more of a mediator than an acting boss? Are there any credible sources to this story or did it start on the internet?

Maybe Bufalino was more of a mediator than an acting boss? Are there any credible sources to this story or did it start on the internet? If memory serves me correct, Bufalino was wrongly identified as a Lucchese member by the FBI in the early 1960s. He had strong ties to and was closely associated with Jimmy Plumeri (a Lucchese member) and his connections to the Teamsters which could be the reason why the FBI wrongly ideed him with that Family. From the mid 1960s onwards however, realizing their blunder, Bufalino´s name was not shown on any FBI Lucchese member lists. A book entitled Hoffa´s War was released around 1980. In the book, the author claims that Bufalino had served as an top advisor for the Genovese bosses. I don´t remember the details but I think the author stated that he had used FBI documents dated in the 1970s as basis for the Bufalino-Genovese-advisor claim. In my opinion, most likely, the FBI was wrong about Bufalino again. If anybody have more info on this, please correct me if I´m wrong. My point is, and to answer your question, that the rumor of Bufalino somewhat being involved with the leadership of the Genovese Family did not start on the internet, but most likely stemms from Hoffa´s War, the book.
