Interesting tidbit Eboli--where does this info come from? or do you have to scrutinize endless FBI Freedom of INformation Act bullshit?
is there some kind of central repository for all this lol?
The info comes from Catena/Tieri/Lombardo/Gigante's FBI files. Between October 1980 and April 1981, there were conflicting reports on who was the boss.
After Tieri stepped down in October, either Salerno became boss until January, or there was a ruling panel consisting of Salerno, Gigante, and semi-retired Phil Lombardo. By April 1981, the FBI IDd Lombardo as the boss, Salerno as the underboss, Gigante as the acting boss/consigliere, and Catena as an adviser. By late 1981, Lombardo had stepped down, Gigante was the boss, Fat Tony was the acting boss & underboss, Santora - the acting underboss, and Manna - the consigliere.

So wht made a detective think that he wasn’t fit for boss n rumors there were better candidates
To me Salerno seemed tough as nails
took
His hundred years n yelled at the judge
But I very surprised to hear that he was looked at unfit
Some members of law enforcement thought Fat Tony was a dumb fuck since that's how he acted around them. Also, by the 1980s, he was a very ill man with diabetes, heart issues, prostate cancer.
