Yes GR, THATS the type of shit you should pay attention to...

Like I said,I think he is official boss, like Rastelli, and I think he is basically ineffectual, just like Rastelli, or even Vitale as underboss, with the title.

The only thing I don't agree with, is that the other families wouldn't elevate him because they despise him, shit, guys despised Gotti. Plus I feel like, it's just history repeating itself, Rastelli- Mancuso, Brasco- Massino; it's like the Bonnano family has almost been in receivership since Joe Bonnano, monitored by the Commision, that's why I think the other families might be backing Mancuso, as a response to the treachery of Massino.

You want to know if Mancuso is powerful? Well how powerful are the guys loyal to him? Is his nephew respected like Massino was respected? Does his nephew have a conduit to other bosses? If not, then Cammarano IS the power, but it seems he can't make any moves to remove Mancuso, any more than Crea can remove Amuso, you know what I mean?
