I know this has probably been opened before but I can't find a trace of any body opening this up

It seems to me from research that when someone becomes UB they let someone else run their crew has it always been the case?

I thought Gravano was still leading a crew associated with his construction rackets when Gotti named him underboss. On one of the tape the FBI made, he's quoted as resenting all of Gravano's rackets.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Danny Leo was running his crew when he was acting boss for the Genovese family.

Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

In made men about the Jersey family they had Jimmy O on tape talking about how now that Vinnie Ocean was in the admin (top three) he couldent have anyone directly under him. He had to assign them to a different crew.

pretty sure wild bill still has his crew when he was upped.

Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.

It's a good question. Seems like getting UB/admin. tribute AND crew tribute might be looked upon as double-dipping. Give a crew member the opportunity for a promotion to 'acting-capo', might keep the crew from mutinous acts. Also, it might be too much responsibility to handle the duties of both. I guess it would depend on how much time and effort would have to be allocated to UB duties.

What ARE the actual UB duties though?

A lot of bosses seem to just give orders directly to capos

I thought Neil had his own crew down the Ravenite.
