dibella was the official boss. hes the guys who inducted abunch of colombos guys in the 70tys. i dont even think theres any turncoat who said carmine inducted in guys well he was boss cause he was only on the street for a few years like 2 and i think the books were closed. michael franzese and scarpa jr talked about there induction and dibella being the boss no mention of carmine. i think the guy was content with stepping down he was up there in age. he buddy carlo gambino died. bosses were going to jail funzi tieri few got killed
