seeing how all three bosses of the Gambinos, Lucchese and Colombo Families are and have been in prison since the 90s, I would say that most, if not all captains of those Fams have more influence, power, and money then them.
which also, answers some of the questions asked before: i.e. why is Peter Gotti boss still?
I believe its because if a new boss would be appointed they would probably be taking a major pay cut. and at the end of the day: its all about the paycheck
Like Vic Amuso, Gotti is probably a boss in name only. But it helps keep the heat off and they dont want to give up the title so their families can still get a tribute.
