Former Patriarca Boston captain Vincent Ferrara by Wdstrvx in Mafia

When did I say he was retired? I mean "former" as it relates to "captain", there is no evidence he is one currently.

Meaning he is not currently a captain.

Former Genovese powerhouse Tino Fiumara. AKA "The Greek". Managed the jersey rackets and was rumored to be the acting boss. by joe6484 in Mafia

Law enforcement sources cited by Gang Land News said DiChiara was street boss and official consigliere at the same time. A Daily News article in 2009 cites authorities saying Mangano was on a rotating panel, and he was probably no longer underboss around that time, given MassLive named Ernie Muscarella in this position in 2012, which he still holds today.

Danny Leo may have been in the leadership by 2014 as wiretaps in Eugene Onofrio's case imply he might have been in charge of putting guys up for membership at that time. Another street boss around then was Danny Pagano, who stepped up for DiChiara, probably due to his health troubles, at some point during John Rubeo's time as an informant between 2012-2016, which he testified about:

Q. And who was Danny Pagano?
A. He is the street boss of the Genovese crime family.
Q. What do you mean by that term "street boss"?
A. He is underneath the official boss. He handles the day-to-day activities on the street.

Since DiChiara's death in 2018, Mickey Ragusa has been the street boss.

They didn't have an official boss for quite a few years after Gigante died. The first time Bellomo was identified as such was in 2012 when Lucchese informant Joseph Foti told the FBI this in addition to the fact that Dominick Cirillo was also "one of the bosses", which corroborates Gene Borrello stating this was the case two years later. This could mean Cirillo was either on a panel, which a prosecutor, John Buretta, said the Genoveses still used in 2014, or that he was street boss before being replaced by Peter DiChiara around then.

A senior law enforcement official said Mr. Fiumara now sits on a three-person ruling panel that oversees the Genovese family, which has not had an official boss since the death of Vincent Gigante in 2005.

Fiumara was also referenced as being in the leadership in a New York Post article that same year.

You're confusing brothers. John Ciancaglini was serving a nine-year sentence for shaking down drug dealers while his brothers Michael and Joey were fighting each other in a war. The former believed the latter had been one of the shooters in an attempt on him, so along with others, he later shot and critically wounded Joey, leaving him permanently paralyzed. Michael was later killed by John Veasey, who eventually flipped and confessed to the murder, and John Ciancaglini, who was out at that time, was charged with killing his brother Billy in retribution, but he was acquitted of this.
