He became acting boss in November 2004, after Basciano was imprisoned.[5] In May 2005, Joseph Massino implicated Mancuso in the 1999 murder of Gerlando Sciascia.[4] In early 2006, Basciano allegedly ordered Mancuso's murder.[7]
On February 16, 2006, Mancuso was arrested in Las Vegas for ordering the murder of associate Randolph Pizzolo on November 30, 2004.[8][9][10] Mancuso followed the orders of imprisoned acting boss Vincent Basciano and arranged Pizzolo's murder.[11] The hit was carried out by soldier Anthony "Ace" Aiello.[11] On August 6, 2008, Mancuso and soldier Aiello pleaded guilty to murdering Pizzolo.[11][12] On December 16, 2008, judge Nicholas Garaufis sentenced Mancuso to 15 years in prison and Aiello to 30 years in prison for the murder of Pizzolo.[13][14]
In June 2013, Mancuso, while imprisoned for the next five years, was picked as the new official boss of the family.[2] Mancuso is controlling the family through his Bronx associates and underboss Thomas DiFiore.[2] He appointed Joseph Cammarano Jr as the Bonanno family street boss and also as the acting underboss in 2015.[15] In April 2015, it was reported that Mancuso was imprisoned at the Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, in Danbury, Connecticut.[3] On March 12, 2019, Mancuso was released from federal custody.[3]
