True, but this isn't just an honor thing. If Zottola was still on record and kicking up, then those people would now lost a stream of their income. It almost always comes down to the money, and these guys don't screw around when it comes to money.NYNighthawk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 4:51 pm I dunno - I believe you can shit on any of the 5 families if you want to.

Well why risk your current situation by killing some old informants ? But when it comes to their pocket and their own rackets , i think they are going to defend it no matter what.NYNighthawk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 4:51 pm I dunno - I believe you can shit on any of the 5 families if you want to.

Exactly. Plus we gotta remember the mid 200's situation where a bunch of Albanians were gonna get clipped, but the FBI arrested them before the hits went down. That wasn't all that long ago, if anything I'd say the family's are doing better now than they were then.

Re: Arrest in Zotolla Hit at the McDonald's Drive-thru
So we have the black hit man arrested and law enforcement theorizing he was hired by Albanians in a move to take over video poker routes.
Surprising, if indeed there is no LCN connection, though more plausible (comparatively speaking) than the drug angle, given Zatolla's history.
If the Albanian angle does end up being correct, that would still be surprising because the Rudaj thing was very much the exception to the rule. Generally speaking, the Albanians co-exist or, in some cases, work for the LCN.
Can't agree with that. While the NY families aren't the power or have the dominance they once did, the rarity of conflict with other groups alone shows they can't just be pushed around. As Capeci said, like other groups before them, the Albanians are not serious competition for the LCN. There's nowhere enough of them.NYNighthawk wrote:I dunno - I believe you can shit on any of the 5 families if you want to.

Newspapers using sensationalism like always playing up the loan sharking past bc Mafia sells news papers and gets clicks while another drug dealer in the bronx who cares
Re: Arrest in Zotolla Hit at the McDonald's Drive-thru
There are more Albanians than will ever be known about ! There's guys on the street (ALBANIANS) That make Rudaj look like a Saint !! And, they definitely don't work for LCN

Re: Arrest in Zotolla Hit at the McDonald's Drive-thru
Agree.
I think Zottola’s whole LCN connection is a in most people’s minds. His LCN references are as an associate of Basciano twenty years ago.
People and the media saw an LCN thread and jumped on it. If it’s the Albanians then it’s likely Zottola had zero current affiliation with either the Luke’s or the B’s to do this.
If he’s a current LCN, L or B associate, then you therefore must believe then that neither the Luke’s or the B’s have the power to respond to the Albanians to defend Zottola over the past months of attacks or it’s the likely scenario B: he’s not on record, or an associate, and operated independently of LCN.
If the Albanian angle is true then the ‘LCN angle’ is looking more and more unlikely.

Who knows, tomorrow the Albanian theory could be up to shit and ‘sources’ may be chirping another angle.

Re: Arrest in Zotolla Hit at the McDonald's Drive-thru
So they found 45,000...probably paid him 50 for the hit
Interesting it wasnt the mob and he had no protection...was he not kicking up?
