Boss? He is a founder, not a head of mafia.

  It's the BBC. 'boss' as a mafia trope is specific to the US.

    Yup. Similar to scheme, which doesn't carry the same negative connotation in British English as it does here.

  I believe, the noun "boss", when meant as "a person who exercises control or authority", does not imply legal status or purpose of any group or organization. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boss https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boss gives an example of "union bosses".
