Re: Buffalo - Alive and well?
Buffalo Detective just got back to me. He says they are still in play, but for higher end stuff, not street level stuff. Gaming etc. Would also figure if they’re getting as much book from Ontario as Pat has made out in the past, they need to do little else. He worked homicide past 7 and drugs the 3 before that. He went on that ‘La Nova’ is a front. “It’s a dump but they’re driving around in brand new $50,000 delivery trucks.” Most case mobster will have a number of small business which they clean cash through. Love to see the tax returns on ‘La Nova’.

Re: RE: Re: Pasquale (Pat) Musitano shot west of Toronto
Yes it gets kind of confusing, just to have a simple detailed conversation about who is on each side of this war can go in so many directions. Manning says that the Musitano hits are not connected to the Papalia hit, but more of a turf war. So if I'm reading this correctly, the Rizzuto and Musitano factions are on one side. The other side I believe its Buffalo , the Bonannos, and some Ndrangheta. Then there are non mafia type groups on each side too.scagghiuni wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:18 pmmaybe the rizzuto's wanted to form an own family and when sal montagna was deported in montreal he tried to get them out of the way or maybe it's just a war between two bonanno's faction in canada, in this case the rizzuto's are still bonanno membersLupara wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:02 pm It does very much seem that the people loyal to Rizzuto considered themselves as their own group.
Coincidentally or not, basically all the old Rizzuto allies have been murdered and now Musitano is targeted too. If you look at it that way it seems like a housecleaning. Who knows what's going on.

Re: RE: Re: Pasquale (Pat) Musitano shot west of Toronto
rizzuto's, musitano and caruana-cuntrera are probably on one side and the bonannos and buffalo (violi-luppino) on the other, i don't know if some ndrangheta member is involved or support some factionFrank wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:53 pm Yes it gets kind of confusing, just to have a simple detailed conversation about who is on each side of this war can go in so many directions.

Re: Buffalo - Alive and well?
they could have this kind of connections in canada that is just 1 hour by car from buffaloslimshady_007 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:47 pm I doubt the Buffalo mob is prospering but it seems that the family is still active in some sense. Just 2 yrs ago, they were hit with an indictment so the family doesn’t appear to be dead. I doubt the family has any political connections since shit like that just doesn’t happen anymore in Buffalo. The mob in Buffalo has lost a lot of it’s clout and in 2019 it seems to be a glorified crew.
Re: RE: Re: Pasquale (Pat) Musitano shot west of Toronto
Guys that might of been made by the Rizzutos after they tried to break away from Bonannos. Are they considered even made in LCN. That would include Pat Musitano.scagghiuni wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 1:01 pmrizzuto's, musitano and caruana-cuntrera are probably on one side and the bonannos and buffalo (violi-luppino) on the other, i don't know if some ndrangheta member is involved or support some factionFrank wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:53 pm Yes it gets kind of confusing, just to have a simple detailed conversation about who is on each side of this war can go in so many directions.

Considering they lost 11 members from 1989 to 1997, and 11 more members from 1997 and 2006, it wouldn't be surprising if they had lost a similar amount from 2006 to 2019.

Re: New Member
I counted 25 dead out of that list of 34. That means there are possibly 11 (9 plus Viloi & Luppino) still living?

So, in order to have a 32 man Family, (30 guys plus the Boss & Underboss) that means that 21 new guys would have had to be made that are not on that list since 1997 which was 22 years ago. So, who might these other 21 guys be and what are they doing? Are they all unknown guys in Canada?

Re: Buffalo - Alive and well?
Very interesting! Any idea if the Buffalo family has any connections to drug trafficking? I doubt it, but I remember reading that there’s some Indian reservations along the border (Either NY or Vermont) that have been used for smuggling.mobinfiltrator wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:48 pm Buffalo Detective just got back to me.

The city of Buffalo seems to have some dealers affiliated with the Sinaloa cartel in their city. I doubt they have connections to the Buffalo mob, but maybe they bring it up there from Mexico and sell to the Violi crew, who then wholesale it themselves to lower level dealers.

Re: New Member
Means nothing really. They can make new wiseguys, you know. Im starting to think that maybe Buffalo are just collecting from Canada. Safe. No RICO. And big money with 12 million people 30 minutes from the centre of Toronto. How unique would that be to operate crews from another country without fear of law enforcement. It would make sense as to why they bumped up Violi to underboss.Confederate wrote:I counted 25 dead out of that list of 34. That means there are possibly 11 (9 plus Viloi & Luppino) still living?

Re: Buffalo - Alive and well?
Buffalo and Detroit are also border towns, or super close to it. None of those cities Pogo mentioned are near a border as far as I know.mobinfiltrator wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:07 amI can only speak to what I know and what I was told by the FBI.Pogo The Clown wrote:Curious why the FBI haven't declared the New England, Philly, Chicago, NJ families dead for PR or budget purposes? Why does Buffalo get this special treatment of being declared defunct and ignored by the FBI when in reality they know still are still going strong?

Just because Buffalo & Detroit Field offices redirect their funding, I don’t suppose it means all field offices did.
Also, both are border crossing towns and a point of concern from an anti-terrorism perspective. In Canada, we are VERY lapse when it comes to security checks of visible minorities (we hate to do anything which might flag us as racist) and our security has always been a point/ cause of concern for the Yanks.
It was the Americans that insisted the Nuclear Power Plant in Pickering Ontario needed to have armed security, because it was a possible terrorism target.
