Oh shit! Time for him to flip so we can find out what’s really going on in Buffalo.

No way he flips. He took his own oath to his friends a long time ago.

[Tonyd621]

His friends mean more then any govt agency would do with him.

At first, Giorgio Barresi’s execution looked like a Mob hit. Was it something even more sinister?

Interesting that this article mentions that Barresi was arrested in '93 in Corfu, NY. It is just outside Buffalo, halfway to Batavia and just about everyone in Buffalo/WNY area goes through this tiny village on their way to Darian Lake Amusement Park. Here is a link to the Buffalo News article on the '93 arrest: https://buffalonews.com/news/3-canadian ... 21572.html

ANYONE HAVE INFORMATION ON BRUNO MALFARA AND/OR EMILIO GARIBALDI

What I've learned the two were arrested in a WNY FBI Sting operation when two FBI Agents posing as high ranking mafiosos arranged for the two to take a fake shipment of cocaine from Amherst, NY to Toronto. Malfara and Garibaldi were introduced to these FBI agents by a disbarred attorney from Youngstown named Joseph Michaels. According to Dan Herbeck of The Buffalo New, "The investigation aimed at the two Ontario men was a spinoff of a massive police corruption probe in Cleveland." See: https://buffalonews.com/news/toronto-ar ... 03028.html

It appears Bruno Malfara and his family are mentioned several times in this document: https://www.cbc.ca/toronto/news/pdf/brazen-redacted.pdf

Not only did Masecchia arrange a sit-down for Serio to meet Butch Bifulco in Canada to get suppliers to control the market in WNY; he also arranged a meeting for Serio to meet Johnny Catz Catanzaro in the early 2000's.

Additionally, Paul Manning and others indicate Percy Regimbal was a Musitano guy. See: comments under this post on X: https://x.com/mobbuffalo/status/1849849 ... c2O6Dx612A

So wait the Buffalo family is active?

Recall Regimbal appeared on the Project Scopa chart and one of the documents Manning shared a few months back.

How did Masecchia get the nickname Gorilla? Because he is alleged to have robbed bank drops with a Gorilla mask.

This has already been reported but this is Serio's testimony where he talks about asking Masecchia about how to be made:

[NickleCity]

Here we have Masecchia helping Serio get started in the debt collection business by introducing him to his wife's cousin Marty Mazzara in Vegas. We learn later that it didn't work out with Marty, but he did end up in the biz with paper and that they used his collections businesses to clean money. You will recall the Buffalo News reported that the collections business in Buffalo is heavily connected to IOC
