I highly doubt mazzone kicked up to Ligambi. And steve and George have been tight since they were kids. I am sure if Stevie steps down as acting boss for George then they will have something worked out. Do any of you remember everything Borgesi said on the wiretaps??? Uncle Joe was keeping the seat warm for him, mazzone and merlino and they fought for the family and its THERE family. Them 3 are all on the same page and with Merlino relaxing in Florida, if he's still official boss, he don't care who runs day to day as long as he gets his, and Mazzone and Borgesi will both take care of him. And still I am not saying the story is 100% definitely true, I am saying it makes sense to me.
