Salvatore Profaci did say he didnt want the top spot but was willing to be on a ruling panel before a new boss was picked. He didnt care for Carmine Persico, but he followed the rules to a T. Guglielmo Cutolo was acting for Pasquale Amato by 1985/1986, he didnt become really greedy until he hooked up with DeRoss. I believe he was one of the good candidates to become boss at the time due to his credible earnings for the family. Sonny Franzese was asked to become acting boss but declined due to his own trial.
