Thanks for the replys, everyone!

@Dsbaloo. I feel the same way, Alot of New Jersey captains are very powerful I'm interested to know more about Richie Boots Biordo. He was a old-time Genovese captain, who controlled Newark NJ. What type of power did he have? Was he close with the administration during the 70's and 80's? @IvyLeague, Do you have any input?

Other powerful captains IMO were Dominick Napolitano, and Sal Catalano. Catalano. Both were captains, but seemed like they operated as Street-Bosses when things were hot in the Bonanno's Am I wrong?

This is my opinion. I believe a powerful captain with a legion of supporters can seriously threaten a Boss, or Underboss for power. Most would never try, such a move though.
