wouldn't surprise me either, but I'm not going post as if it were a fact just because it says so on his wiki page. he was identified as the acting boss in '97 after Bellomo was arrested and he was also indicted as the acting boss again in 2005. other than that and being regarded as a "high ranking member" I'm not sure what his role is in running the family, other than probably being on some type of ruling panel. but irregardless the guy is huge in both New York and New Jersey.
