The main discrepency is that there was an acting boss in 2006 and now the discussion is whos going to lead the family. If there is no family to lead there is no need for a leader who sits a top the hierarchy and there is no reports on it.
Good point. 2006 is a gray point for me in terms of the family's activity. That was when the final FBI chart was released, but logic shows us that the FBI chart simply listed the remaining members as opposed to trying to put together a real structure. It seems that the FBI chart in 2006 remained the same as the structure the decade before, only with dead members taken out, which is why there were only 2 guys to a capo.
I imagine that most people in 2006 weren't ready to say the Buffalo Mafia was DEAD. It had been active a few years prior. And there was definitely still the shell of a structure there. Maybe there was still some guys kicking up. Maybe there were entire crews that were still active, but not in contact with the administration. Who knows.
