Right. In that case Massino inherited the title of boss since he was the underboss at the time. I think it’s up to the boss on who his successor is.

It could be possible he’s either acting boss for someone else such as Allie boy or Teddy or maybe even Mush is the official boss. Its crazy how little we know about the current state of the family’s administration.

Capeci described him as acting boss not long ago so he's probably still in that role. I think what he means by 'honcho' is he's the highest ranking member since Carmine died.

If Russo's acting boss you have to wonder where Allie boy fits in now I mean he's serving life could be possible he's stepped away and paved the way for Teddy jr to become official boss with Russo assisting him.

It’s not mutually exclusive for Andy Mush and Allie to be running the family together. Same thing happened in the mid-1990s, while Allie was in the running to take over but was living in Florida and on supervised release, and again in 2010, when Allie Persico was relaying orders through Angelo Spata.

Good point. Allie boy seems like a really treacherous and respected guy. He was able to keep his title as acting boss despite serving a life sentence. I was wondering, if a family boss dies, isn’t the acting boss (the second in command) supposed to become official boss?

Also, I know Jerry said Russo was not alleged to have mob ties in the indictment, but I would be very surprised if Andy Mush - who led a recruitment drive in 2010 and even pushed to induct Joseph Petillo, whom he was not on good terms with - would neglect to induct his own grandson, a six-figure loanshark who clearly tried to emulate the mob life by referencing films to debtors.
