Ok we all know Solly D is RETIRED. He is not mentally capable to be running things and is only affiiliated through name only.

1. No one can truly be naive enough to believe he is the BOSS.

2. So who do you guys have as your choice for overall Boss of the Outfit and who falls directly below him?

3. Name in your opinion the top guys currently in the administration that are ACTIVE.

4. Feel free to put together your own selections that you would put in place if you were boss.

BTW I don't even think VENA is active to be honest with you right now as he has been mentally declining for a while and doesn't even live in Illinois anymore.

another good question rush, ill take a stab at it. will go by crew but not sure if i can name 10 to be honest, it may be that the current outfit admin may have all of 5 leaders and a different setup than in the past. perhaps a question to be asked for another time and post.

26th street crew
frank m. caruso ('toots')
-likely still capo of crew, possible he has been promoted to one of 2 admin positions, boss or underboss.

nicholas ferriola
-if caruso was promoted to a high level position in last couple years possible ferriola now is capo of crew or acting capo.

cicero crew
salvatore cataudella
-alleged current underboss of outfit and outside of caruso only other likely boss candidate. possible that he is capo or has ultimate authority of cicero crew as underboss.

dino marino
-longtime close associate of delaurentis and cicero crew.

grand avenue crew
albert vena
-longtime capo of crew, one time alleged 'street boss' although i am not convinced this position currently or ever has existed in the outfit. as rush and others have mentioned venas health is not good lately.

elmwood park crew
rudy fratto
-would at this time in outfit career have to be capo of this crew by now.

so thats 6 for ya. as to how or if any of them fit together into a structured and functioning admin running the chicago outfit thats another story.

Thank you Vito!

We need new surveillance photos of these guys. Its as if they have been in hiding.
Only guy with real legit current photos you can find is Ferriola pretty much.

The outfit is such a secretive organization compared to New York.

I think part of it has to do with the fact that the FBI office in Chicago spends so much time and resources on street gang activity and mexican cartels. New York on the other hand still spends quite a bit of time focusing on the five families.
