He wasn't. If we're talking about the Frank Salerno guy, his name wasn't mentioned once among those who were present. But someone also asked why Vinny TV wasn't there, I have no clue, one could argue that he too has little to do with current going on's with the Bonanno admin. But if anyone would guess who an "unofficial offical boss" would be, I'd place my bets on him. But we have yet to hear anything like that.


And sorry to bring this shit back up again, but I noticed on the first page, Ivy that you mentioned something about LE, Capeci & Daily News, all not being wrong, and members (assuming you meant me as one of them), pick and choose what they want to believe. Yet, you never take responsibility for you doing the same thing. Not once did you acknowledge the earlier Daily News article, which contradicts it's previous one, stating that the Bonannos were on the verge of a war because Mancuso backed Pallazolo against Cammarano, while Cammarano had the backing of the captains on the street, the article clear as day spoke of Mancuso & Cammarano not being allies, but on opposing sides. One would assume they also got this information from law enforcement, so wouldn't you also be "picking and choosing" by simply choosing to believe one Daily News article over the other? Not to mention the Asaro articles, that Daily News, Newsday, & Capeci had written about which stated Tommy DiFiore as the boss of the Bonannos and made no mention of Mancuso throughout it's entirety.

As far as Peter Gotti, you can argue semantics all you like, Capeci still labels him as the official boss of the Gambinos, yet you say thats a different situation because Capeci goes out of his way to say that that's only in name, while he doesn't do it for Mancuso....That seems like a strawman argument, to me.
