There’s no debate here...there’s not one informant during that time frame that said he was the underboss. ...not from the other families or the Colombos. Not once during the wiretaps in the 2000s did he himself say he was the underboss in the 1960s. And him havin people w him,whether he was a soldier or captain that’s the way the mob works..when your an associate you belong forever to the guy your with unless he chooses to release you or you get made.
Not to mention the wire taps w Sam the plumber describe Mineo as the underboss during this time frame
