I forgot where i read that buffalino was sometype of interim boss that is bullshit.. its in a fbi file somewhere. There is zero percent chance it ever happened. Was he called into mediate disputes in there family probaly yes. But benny squint took over as boss after genovese died. You had heavy weights like benny squint,catena, and eboli. Never mind fat tony and funzi tieri. I think after benny squint has eboli killed, catena retires and funzi gets upped to underboss. They might have used buffalino to smooth out feathers in the family. No way a boss from a tiny family is put incharge of the biggest family in the usa
