"The engineer and conductor on a freight train that struck State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski were interviewed by Depew Police and CSX police after the incident that occurred about 11:43 a.m. Feb. 28 near the Amtrak station in Depew, according to a heavily redacted police report obtained by The Buffalo News through a Freedom of Information request.

A video from a camera on the train’s engine recorded the incident and police viewed it, according to the report. A second video of the incident was recorded by a train enthusiast who had his cellphone out at the time, according to the report."

Couple off oddball questions after reading much of this stuff again earlier:

1. What are the major rackets IN Buffalo?
2. Do any Canadian groups have interests in Buffalo, or Rochester for that matter?

1. What are the major rackets IN Buffalo?

Pizza and wings

Pizza and wings

Besides pizza and wings which = legit businessss, from the last indictment their rackets would include law enforcement corruption, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering and medical fraud

Court papers for Anthony Gerace indicated he ran a sports book and utilized an ex-boxer as an enforcer.

I didn’t say it had anything to do with Joe Todaro. Maybe Wiseguys’s reference was to Joe, and his way of saying he is all legitimate? Don’t want to speak for him. I will note some LE documents filed in court in recent cases intimate Joe is the head of the Buffalo Mob, but that wasn’t the subject of my post.

Gerace who was indicted for drug and human trafficking is Todaro’s nephew. Also, the underboss that was indicted for narcotics trafficking was caught on wiretap talking about how he met with Todaro in Florida and how Todaro appointed him underboss with the approval of the NYC commission.

we agree this site is the pinnacle of "mafia" related discussions, yes?
we agree we have. the sharpest posters, posting here, yes?

those same posters are having a good discussion in here and you're mucking it up with silly jokes and trolling. why not start another thread and you can make fun of this thread in there. but leave this one for the big boys to talk shop.

you're a valued poster, not sure why'd you feel the need to come in here and troll it. you know there is much more going on in buffalo than pizza and wings. is it a fully functional family behind it? IDK. is Todarto Jr involved? IDK
but a lot of things point to it being a possibility. and regardless of "buffalo" being a fully functioning family there is 100% a group of connected people doing something from judges to dea agents to drug dealers. its an interesting fucking tale regardless if buffalo is a legit family or not.

I’m a bit behind but have we had any busts of suspected made guys other than Violi or were they just all associates

In Buffalo LE told Bongiovanni in an email that they believed, "Masecchia is an associate and possible made member of the Buffalo LCN family," the email said, according to court papers. LCN was a reference to La Cosa Nostra."



Picture from publicly filed court documents.

I’m curious, those that think Buffalo is still functioning. Do you think Todaro only comes around when needed or is he playing an active role in the organization?

There is no information available to make an assumption either way.
