Buffalo/Ontario Mob Acitivity

[Bklyn21]

Yes the book has its faults, but it remains a good basis. I think that the authors exaggerate a little the power of the clan, but after it is up to us to make the share of the things. I haven't read the Peter Edwards books but he seems to be in a little more dubious theories compared to the murder of Sciascia or LoPresti (not to mention the fact that he claims that Vito would not have died as a result of his cancer). Anyway, to choose I stay on the books I mentioned above

Vito faked his death and is still out there calling the shots [emoji848][emoji23]

Then dies of Corona, transmitted upon him by an inflitrator of the Calabrians.

Lmao

I knew well that all this had not happened by chance, thank you for all these clarifications [emoji38]

I have more. After the Montagna debacle the Bonannos deviced a new strategy: reclaiming Montreal by extermination. They'll get purely refined covid-19 strains from laboratories in China and then spread the virus through Sicilian pharmacies. The goal is to infect as many people as possible so that it eventually reaches Vito. It's known as the Corona connection.

Looks like Joe Todaro's nephew Anthony Gerace is accused of being involved in narcotics distribution since 2006 or before.

It is noted that VICTOR RANDACCIO, SAM BONGIOVANNI
and JOSEPH LATONA are officers of Local 210 of the International
Hod Carriers and Common Laborers . Union of America at Buffalo,'
New York.


In connection with the above reservations, BU T-7

SALVATORE PANTANO and | ~ ~~| had left Buffalo, b7c

stated the purpose of this trip was unknown to him, however,
PANTANO mentioned that he was carrying a "large bundle" with
him. It is noted that PANTANO is an officer of Local 210

It appears Bongiovanni was connected to a Salvatore "Sam" Pantano and "Red" Latona for mourned 25 years. They are mentioned in the FBI document on Randaccio quoted above.

Below you will see the Steward position at Local 210 in Buffalo was created for Sam Bongiovanni in 1940.

Latona and Pantano are mentioned throughout this court proceeding from 1941. They are called "gang members" who "steamroll" their wishes on the local with the fear of violence.

The poster, Victor Altomare, appears to confirm it’s Domenico Violi when asked by a commenter. Here’s the link to the IG post:

I’m kind of disappointed that Canadian actor Tony Nardi, who played Joe Bonanno in Bonanno: A Godfather’s Story, has his arm around Violi. However, I’m more than intrigued that if this photo was indeed taken in Miami Beach, the pic establishes that Violi was in Florida before November 4, 2015, which is the release date for The Sicilian Vampire.

Nice find Moscone. I give NickleCity less than 12 hours before he tweets about this photo and claims it as his find.

My friend and I were intrigued about the Florida part, especially since his supposed friend from buffalo is down there.

Can an admin take down the picture I posted yesterday please? I’m not sure how to do it

To be fair, people put their arm around people they barely know in photos and there was wine flowing here. We know these mob movie actors love to spend time with the real thing, though. Goes well with Violi's signed cast photo from the Sopranos.

Good point, re: Florida. Right down the coast from the Hollywood area, where Todaro has his hotel. Gives some credence to his claims of meeting Todaro in Florida. Would be interesting if this dinner happened during the same trip he was promoted to underboss, but even more interesting if Violi was making multiple trips to Florida.

Robert Davi and... Armand Assante?

Tony Nardi's very interesting given he played Bonanno and the Bonanno's historic ties to Buffalo.
