A lot of that stuff is relatively old news and went away after Casso flipped. In other words, Amuso's take was that much of the internal problems in the Family had been caused by Gaspipe which he often didn't know about. Probably some half-truths there. In any event, Amuso is still the official boss and has clout. One example is, his envelopes got bigger under acting boss Steven Crea and Louie Daidone. Which made him think former acting boss Joseph Defede had been holding out on him. Defede was in prison himself when Amuso started asking him about it and he flipped because he thought he would be killed.

There really is no point in the Family naming someone else the official boss. Better to have a guy who already is doing life retain the title and still get his money. His family anyway. That's why Crea is still underboss, and Migliore, Madonna, and DiNapoli were running things as a committee.
