He was acting boss for multiple periods through the last 3 decades. He had seniority. IMO it was his age and health which was leading to Teddy taking over. But Mush, if he was 10 years younger, healthy, would've had the job due seniority in front of teddy

However, along that same vein, I think it was 2007 or so when someone (maybe James Bombino?) was tape-recorded suggesting that Andy Russo would become acting boss once his supervised release conditions ended in 2010.
Ultimately, I don’t think it matters too much; we’ve seen in the past that, even while serving as an admin member in 2009, Persico Jr. still deferred to Michael Persico (liaison for Junior and Little Allie) for permission on committing acts of violence. And Russo seems to have consistently been a puppet for the Persicos also, so I don’t think it would look much different if Persico Jr. or Andy Russo held the ‘official’ title during that brief period between Junior’s death and Mush’s death. I think it’s more likely that decisions are still made by the Persicos as a faction (including Allie, Michael, Teddy) rather than any one guy on the street. I doubt much changes on the street whether Ralph DeLeo is boss or Andy Russo holds the title.
Then again, I say this even though Vic Orena was Junior Persico’s cousin. So who knows; the Colombos are a volatile family and anything could happen, especially with Teddy Persico and his history of violence. It’s still an important discussion to have because it points to who is more active and well-respected within the family.

Anyone else think the Colombo's would be the first NY family to die out if/when it happens?

Re: Gangland News 1/26/2023
Sammy was a greedy chump. Fabricating lies to the higher ups about his blood family and friends since birth all so he can kill them and take their businesses as his own. Who gives a shit what John said on those tapes, it doesn't give you carte Blanche to do what he did. Sammy was all about Sammy. I know his daughters nickname for her kids father is the bull too.SonnyBlackstein wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:14 amJohn tried to fuck Sammy. Fuck John.

None of these guys came out of nowhere.

I take it you’d be surprised to realize the amount of guys the internet has no idea about.
