Montreal Mafia status - Post Rizzuto Era

[mr white]

He has promised a certain amount of stories a week. Enough said.

None of his videos get very many views and even fewer likes. He's switched to solo short videos because his partner podcast guy didn't know dick about the mob. I cant imagine he's making much money on his mob-reporting biz either on YouTube or his website. Who would pay for his website and not already be on here? Just can't imagine there's much of an online paying demographic. But he pushes on. Frankly, I have been thinking that his reporting was getting better and more reasonable but then he does stuff I just don't understand, and mike68, you're exactly right about why.

Scott's latest video says that the current HA vs Mafia war was caused by Leo Rizzuto ordering this hit without clearing it with the HA first, and that HA feel that Leo looks down on them.

I dunno, any truth to this?

[mr white]

If this hit in March 2019 started a "war" then why didn't the HA ever strike back even one time since then? Unless Scott is saying the attempt on Rizzuto was from them...maybe a combo of HA and Del Balso. Maybe all Del Balso..either way, if his reporting that Marty is trying to seize control of all of Canada were true wouldn't there be some dead Italians or attempted dead Italians by now, 5 years later?

I'm hoping Antimafia or Vito Cahill or others up there can weigh in on this Burstein 'theory'?

This could be related to the conflict between the Rizzuto-Sollecito group and the HA.

Article mentions Abderazak Ahab or more likely the person associated with the HA that he was with was targeted on January 12th in a shooting.

I just saw that Leonardo Paccione died last November. Paccione was an associate of Frank Cotroni, paralyzed since 1967 after a shootout with police following a robbery. Paccione was nicknamed "Dino the Terror" because he terrorized the hospital staff who treated him.

His brother Natale "Lino" Paccione is also an associate of the Montreal mafia

From one of the articles published today re: the "guilty" finding of two men accused of murdering Frantz Lous [ed: in my original post I mistyped the surname--should have been Louis], the Haitian-Canadian street gang member who had ties to Davide Barberio:

The detective [Francis Derome] also wrote that gangland hits have become complex to solve because of alliances between members of gangs like the Hells Angels and the Montreal Mafia.

“There are now consortiums created by different known criminal organizations and they all seem capable of helping each other to arrive at their goals,” Derome wrote. “The alliances between the outlaw motorcycle gangs and Italian organized crime are being confirmed more and more often.”

Some good surveillance footage of Woolley meeting with other organized crime figures.

It looks like he does alot of listening and not alot of talking based on that footage. Good way to avoid getting tripped up on wires/surveillance

Wonder if he still tries to claim him and Martin Robert being at the same hotel in Colombia was a coincidence
