MOB MUDDLING: 'Incompetent hit team' fails to ice Musitano again

https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/ ... ano-again/

[Wiseguy]

So I emailed Anna Sergi, who most will remember came out with that report on the New York families not long ago, and asked her why she characterized the Todaro family of Buffalo as once being a part of La Cosa Nostra.


This was her response -

"Sorry the question is way too broad and would require a lot more background. LCN is a social construction these days - it has changed from what it used to be - the mafia families such as the Todaro were once allied to what used to be LCN and today are engrained in the new hybrid order between LCN ‘ndrangheta and whoever else - things are way more fluid these days."

Do you think he leaves the country or will he stay and let them eventually wipe him off the planet? Is he an ego maniac from your understanding?

Very interesting and makes my mind race with questions. Thanks for sharing.

Who is Anna Sergi?

The Sergi's are a Calabrian family, it is a very common name in Reggio Calabria. The town my family comes from in Reggio had many Sergi's, I had an Aunt that married into the Sergi's. My uncle's brother from Reggio moved to Australia and was big with the Barbaro clan in the land down under.

Doesn't matter where he hides. As we've seen, people get hit anywhere in the world from Sicily to South America.

That Musitano depends on a 76 year old for protection says enough about his status, unless that guy is like Buscetta in the Godfather Part II. He did do a decent job this time.

And if the associate was the target, obviously he would've been shot at the scene.

With these amateur hitmen, it appears there's an open contract on him. Del Balso was in a similar situation when two neanderthals showed up at his door step.

She could just mean that the remnants of the Buffalo family are now mingling with other crime groups. But it also seems like she's dodging the question so she doesn't have to explain her previous statements.

Does she even know that the Buffalo family has had a a connection to the Ndrangheta going back decades, it is hardly something new.

[scagghiuni]

the todaro family was a lcn one, not just allied with lcn, today it is dead according to fbi but still viable according to violi wiretaps, also i suppose she's talking about canada only

[Pogo The Clown]

"LCN is a social construction these days." Ah spoken like a true sociologist.

Do you find her response to be that out of alignment with what you believe, that Buffalo isn't viable? A crime family, that's not LCN would be somewhat of an accurate description, IF you don't believe Buffalo is a viable organization.

I asked this before, why exactly should I consider the Musitanos a crime family, but not the Violis/Luppinos? When they seem just as active and connected, maybe BETTER connected? Why should we consider the Ursinos a crime family then?
I've made the point before, until recently I've NEVER seen ANY of the Calabrian clans broken down really. We just got the Figliomenis, we know about the Commisos, Collucios, I have NO idea what clan Tavernese or DiMaria are bosses of,or even what their operations are, or WHERE they are.Theres a lot we still don't know.
