I'm fine agreeing to disagree. I expect time will prove the feds right as they are almost always.

Needless to say, when it comes to correct intel, the feds batting average is light years ahead of the speculators on these forums.

It matters little if a lot of these guys "grew up downtown or in the outer boroughs" because they live in their own world.




Neither Capeci or the FBI has divulged their sources. But it was only Capeci who had to backtrack, which he did. It appears the FBI has consistently maintained that Amuso remains the official boss of the family. And that Capeci would go as far as to retract his previous claim suggests he is pretty convinced as well.

This is similar to Corozzo in the past because we would have people on the forums claiming Corozzo was the guy really running things in the Gambino family. The real boss. Not Peter Gotti. Of course, this was nothing more than pure speculation on their part. Did they have any inside knowledge about this? Nope. It just "made more sense" to them that Corozzo was the boss so they took it upon themselves to put him on the throne. And they didn't care what the FBI said. Nor did they have anything to say when Corozzo was eventually indicted as a captain.

This is basically what some of you guys are now doing with Crea.
