The so-called boss term regarding Lansky is misunderstood. Yes, he wasnt the "boss of the US mob" which is just another myth, BUT he was the boss or main rep for the Jewish/Non-Ital group of the NY mob and in fact, during a certain period he represented their interests on the Mafia's commission. According to one convo between Genovese members, Willie Moretti allegedly gave the order for the murder of one Jewish member without the "ok" from Lansky, something which created a problem. Also, according to one convo between Accardo and Giancana, they also confirmed the same situation regarding Lansky having a seat on the commission.
