Michael Mancuso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael "Mikey Nose" Mancuso is the former acting boss of the Bonanno crime family.[1] Mancuso is the third acting boss since Joseph "Joe" Massino was arrested in 2002. Michael is a paternal relative of Gambino crime family sidewalk soldiers Aniello (Wahoo) Mancuso and Genaro (Jerry) Mancuso who were implicated as criminals from the testimony of mob turncoat Joe Valachi in 1959. Michae Mancuso took the leadership role after the second acting boss, Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano, was indicted and jailed on November 19, 2004. Michael Mancuso is a caporegime, or 'capo' from the Bronx faction of the family, just like his predecessor, however, sometime in 2007 or 2008, Mancuso was elevated to the official Underboss position.
