It appears they have the traditional administration as well as a street panel to help run the family.

I recall Cefalu came up with JoJo C then fell in with Patsy. Never an 18th Ave member. Others would know more than me...

Peter Gotti is still recognized as the official boss. And I think Cefalu is still acting. Although conflicting reports have surfaced which say he retired and Cali is now the acting boss. Whatever the case, I don't know where John Gambino being boss comes from. Judging from the picture of him in the DR, he's a young 75, so it could be possible. But there's really nothing to support it.

Didn't that come out in the Nicky Skins tapes that John Gambino was part of a triumvirate that is ruling the Gambinos? IMO Sinatra, Peter Gotti and the Gotti dynasty are done.

pretty sure the gottis have no power in the streets.. 18th ave.. mannino, zito, cali

Hmmm, Figured it would be one or the other

I guess in this situation the panel acts as the street boss, if that is in fact true.

Yeah, you basically have 3 street bosses running things directly for the administration.

i didnt know cefalu was a queens guy? where in queens was he from? he lives in and ostensibly works in bensonhurst. also wasnt one of his nicknames "dom from 18th ave?"

speaking of queens and the gambinos though, one of the gurino's has a huge christmas lighting at his house in jamaica estates not too far away from st. johns. i went to a wedding out that way last december and we stopped by to see it. it was pretty awesome. when i got home and googled the address i found an article about it and it said the owner of the house was anthony gurino lol. place is massive. insane neighborhood with all those houses, big big money

I believe Cefalu is still acting boss and Cali is still underboss but with Cali really running things for the Gambinos.

Look at the confusion with Vic and Stevie....

Capeci had conflicting reports from insiders about who is the boss of the Luccheses.
Vic is the official boss (in name only) and Stevie is the real power. This is what I believe lead to conflicting reports from Capeci's insiders because when Capeci asked who is the boss of the Luccheses, some insiders went with the boss title and others went with the real power on the streets.

I suspect this is the same case here with Cefalu and Cali and what lead to conflicting reports from insiders about who is boss.

I think Cefalu is semi-retired (still holding the rank of acting boss) and letting Cali run things.

For the record, aside from people making assumptions on the forums, there's never been any official info to suggest that Amuso is "boss in name only." Capeci said that was the case with Peter Gotti still being the boss of the Gambinos but he didn't say anything like that about Amuso.

the only gottis left on the street are richie senior and junior both involved richie is a capo apparently and junior a made guy. Gene gets out in a couple of years and vinny is doing heavy time for that baker shooting in 2003

Pretty sure they're soldiers under Gurino

when he got indicted in 2002 he was indicted as a capo now i dont know if he is a capo now it is why i said apparently because people have told me that he is capo while otheres say different Anthony Gurino could have richie reporting him now i know gurino is on the panel i dont know like i said i have heard mixed reports until there is an indictment we wont know


i never said richie junior was a capo he is a soldier
