Gerace's libel lawsuit agains the two Florida papers didn't last long. He dismissed on Nov. 10 shortly after discover was due. Don't think it even got that far.



The papers filed for dismal on Nov. 7. Here are their reasons:

I bet WBEN doesn't mention anything about this... Can't help but wonder why they only offered softball questions to Gerace's attorney in WNY. ...Oh, maybe I do know the answer... LOL

That’s interesting, yes I remember saying that catroppa was with Musitano + commisso which makes sense that he was with Tony fiorda. The thing I am not sure about is tony fiordas death linked to catroppas murder? I’m thinking maybe not but who knows.

Any ideas on who paid the 60k for the hit?

For background and context about possible reasons and motives for the murder of Antonio Fiorda, as well as to whom he was tied and whom he might have crossed so badly that it cost him his life, see my posts at search.php?keywords=%22st.+catharines%2 ... sf=msgonly and viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4122&p=188685&hili ... do#p188685.

Although the worst part of the pandemic is over, I have not been to a courthouse in close to 3 years. Besides, I no longer have time during weekdays to observe trials. I could make arrangements to take a day or two off to sit in on a trial, but there's always the risk that some procedural or scheduling matter occurs that results in the matter not being heard on those days. One of the Toronto Star's courts reporters was supposed to cover the trial today, but the https://www.ontariocourtdates.ca/ site no longer listed the case as of last night; so there may be no new article published tonight or tomorrow.

On weeknights I am obsessed with researching homicides and attempted murders even tangentially related to Italian organized crime, and the research is one reason I go AWOL on here sometimes.

So as a result of the first Toronto Star article published this past Tuesday, we finally learned the name of the alleged shooter in Fiorda's murder: Keyshawn Brown. Not mentioned in the article is that this individual appears to be the 18-year-old rapper and street-gang member from Toronto who was murdered in Surrey, British Columbia (BC) on December 23, 2019, some 49 days after Fiorda was killed.

Internet searches will allow one to see that the murder of Brown, whose rapper name was Why-S, was disclosed on a hip-hop news site the day after he was killed -- some 3 days before it was published in Vancouver's Georgia Straight, a free weekly news-and-entertainment paper. Law enforcement in BC (the RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, or IHIT) stated that Brown's murder did not appear to be related to the Lower Mainland conflict in the province.

These past two nights I have been scouring Reddit and social media for posts about the person currently on trial (Saaid Mohiadin, aka Postman, Flippa) and about the murdered Brown. I had no idea how many street gangs in Toronto are affiliated with the Bloods and Crips. As knowledgeable as many of the posters are -- they are obviously showing a lack of discretion by posting certain details -- they did not know that it was Brown who was caught on video shooting Fiorda. Some posters thought that Mohiadin would have been the shooter rather than the getaway driver.

The Mexican cartels in Canada, who might have been the ones paying for the hit but also wanted to double cross the street gang members, would have had an easy time getting someone to murder Brown in BC because they are entrenched there. Did the Siderno Group kill Fiorda because he allegedly skimmed cocaine loads? If yes, its quest to find Fiorda's killer, as witnessed by the pulling of video footage at the funeral-home visitation for Fiorda, was all a charade. Could outlaw bikers have paid for the hit on Fiorda? Quite possibly.

Somalians are F*****d.
They are a huge portion of the crime in Toronto. Same in Australia, Melbourne mainly.
Tiny portion of the overall community, yet a massive % of serious crime.

Why the F do we allow these people in. Disgrace of a 'people'.

I suspect that these details about Mohiadin cannot be brought up during his trial for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that the information doesn't have any bearing on the murder case. I have not tweeted about the Ford-Mohiadin tie. I don't plan to either.

It seems that Pino Avignone’s conditional sentence — served in the community rather than in prison — came to or comes to an end this month. I’m not sure whether the conditions of the sentence were disclosed in May of last year — if these were harsh, he would have been under house arrest.

There were two investigations here: one for drug trafficking; one for fraudulent cheque cashing — Avignone was one of a number of individuals involved in this latter scheme.

What I want to know is what happened to NickyFromTampa/GohnJotti?? Guy took his ball and went home after getting annihilated.

It turns out I was wrong, happy to concede that. Never claimed to have inside knowledge on the subject. And the people on GangsterBB (with the exception of NickleCity) were all equally wrong with their assessments on how the family was structured.
