a couple questions rush....
if cataudella is indeed acting boss, which is entirely possible, what position did he hold previous to being acting boss? UNDERBOSS, capo? i ask in all sincerity to be honest, i have no skin in this game of figuring out the outfit 2025. cataudella has ben named in past as UNDERBOSS, so is it possible he retains UB post while serving as acting boss, i think so. as far as being the capo of cicero crew this also seems possible with louis rainone in an acting capo position of that crew.
as far as delaurentis goes with his old age and recent health issues it is very possible he no longer holds the title of BOSS and has moved into role of senior advisor, advisor, consigliere, or is completely retired from any role. with that being a scenario, the outfit would have named a permanent BOSS instead of an acting boss, also in this case the BOSS could be cataudella.
finally i have to ask all gbb posters and outfit researchers if the chicago outfit even has an UNDERBOSS currently or has the structure changed slightly. an example being....
BOSS
SALVATORE DELAURENTIS
ACTING BOSS (cicero crew capo)
SALVATORE CATAUDELLA
acting capo
louis rainone
26th street crew
capo
frank m. caruso
elmwood park crew
capo
rudy fratto
grand avenue crew
capo
albert vena
This is the thing, the Outfit is like the GENOVESE. We can speculate who has what in regards to responsibilities and titles but we really will never know anything beyond that. One of the guys running the entire thing may not even be a guy that the majority believe to be.
For example, I'm going to use Bobby Dominics name again here. That is a guy that is one of the very few guys left from the old school who's been around for a very very long time and worked for some serious individuals. Guys like Frank Schweihs, Joe Lombardo and Albert Vena don't choose you to work for them unless you are a very serious guy yourself who is a true professional at their craft. I'll leave it at that. He is highly intelligent in regards to the rackets he chose over the years, and has put himself in a position where he can keep a low profile and stay under the radar. Bobby never was one to go around killing people, dealing drugs or things like that which draw serious attention. Yeah he just caught an indictment for gambling but more than likely he will just pay a big fine to the FEDS and won't receive any jail time. A very serious $$$ maker though and earner and someone who knows how to do it well that is for sure. He also has invested his $$$ very wisely in real estate around the city of Chicago and if I was to place a bet, more than likely has investments down south also in Florida and the Caribbean.
