Why doesn't he have a choice?

No, you're not. Time and again, we've been hearing from both law enforcement sources and credible journalists that the final word in that family is Mancuso. Why? Well, maybe because it's actually true. There's way too much bullshit on these boards. People automatically assume the power has shifted if somebody in Long Island or Queens becomes a member of the administration.


What you've described above has been a problem on these forums for years. Certain posters going on their own assumptions - in this case there being no way Mancuso could possibly be boss since he's from the Bronx faction of the family - so the news reports must be false. They'll then start to make assumptions about who the boss must be. We have seen that with Amuso and Crea for years now. And all these assumptions are repeated so often that they almost become accepted fact on the forum. Some posters have always been way to quick to dismiss news reports or even indictments in favor of their own guesswork or board gossip, which frankly usually isn't worth a hill of beans. It's almost like they view the real life mob as some kind of computer game where they can pick and choose who's on the throne and build their own family.

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