Jimmy Tripodi was a captain in the Pittsburgh outfit but functioned as the racket boss of Steubenville. I’d think it would be understandable that a CI would seem him as his own “boss”, as he was presumably given a lot of de facto autonomy and leeway to run his territory, but within the formal mafia system he was a capodecina.

I don’t know this for a fact but I’ve wondered if Tripodi could’ve been the head of a local successor group to the Calabrian Camorra, in the way that Dom Mallamo was in Youngstown, while also being an LCN member (I also suspect that a similar arrangement may have persisted in Kenosha, WI). If so, it’s possible that Tripodi could have had guys who weren’t made into the mafia but answered to him within the local group. On one level, they then would’ve been “LCN associates” on record with a member, but on another level Tripodi would’ve been their “boss”, apart from his rank within the Pittsburgh mob.

Jimmy Tripodi was a part of the "Ohio River Valley" Calabrese Organization. Tony Milano was the head guy with Dom Mallamo, Paul & Mike Romeo and Jimmy Prato in Youngstown. Tripodi and Cosimo Quattrone in Steubenville and Tony Ripepi, John Bazzano Jr (Paul Romeo's Godson), Kelly Mannarino in the Pittsburgh area and Joe Regino in Altoona per informants/FBI reports.

These guys were all made into the Pittsburgh Cosa Nostra right? Except for maybe Tony Milano -- same guy as the Cleveland Tony Milano?
