My prediction....nothing happens. No one gets whacked no one fights it out.just underworld drama. This is what the mob is today. Outside of the rare violent act, it’s just old time bravado. Just my opinion.

Mancuso will make sure they get what they deserve. That is a fuckin Guarantee! Bloodshed will be had by the pussies who did what they did and I will be glad when it happens!

Holy cow, simmer down fanboy! You’re rooting for these criminals more than a dad cheers for his kids football team!

Do you hang out at the Tavern on Rush as well to get a glimpse of a mobster??

This isn’t the 1960’s anymore. Your dreams of mob takeovers are done with.

I know exactly what will happen. Mancuso will send a bunch of his guys to send some nasty text messages to Cammarano. Cammarano will then give a bunch of negative yelp reviews to some of the business’ that Mancuso has a piece of. This might get ugly.

no matter how much one may dislike Mancuso, objectively speaking, he must retaliate.

Aiello, Sciremammano and Spirito must crave for it as well.

other families’ liaisons are probably telling him retaliation is okay as long as you don’t turn this into a situation. No one can deny his decision to not letting this fly.

the main issue is how do you retaliate firmly enough not to look like a weakling but not too harshly to trigger a reaction from the law?

LOL...Ya know Lenox, you're a very funny guy! I mean like, Ha! Ha! funny!

My prediction....nothing happens. No one gets whacked no one fights it out.just underworld drama. This is what the mob is today. Outside of the rare violent act, it’s just old time bravado. Just my opinion.

Let's hope you are right, but the group we are talking about is crazy enough to try something. It should not surprise anyone if someone got hit.

Common Mafia Myths Debunked # 6: Did Montreal break off from the Bonanno Family after the murder of Gerlando Sciascia in 1999?

No. After becoming a cooperating witness Bonanno Underboss, Sal Vitale, revealed that emissaries were sent to Canada to name a new captain of the Montreal decina. Vitale, who was one of the Bonannos sent to Montreal said he offered Vito Rizzuto the position, but he turned it down and instead suggested it go to his father. There are conflicting reports on what happened after this, Daniel Renaud's Vito Rizzuto: La Chute Du Dernier Parrain book has Vitale confirming Nicolo Rizzuto as Captain of the Montreal decina but Andre Cedilot & Andre Noel's Mafia Inc book has Vitale leaving Montreal with the Captain position vacant and states "The assassination of George from Canada would cast a permanent pall over relations between the Bonanno family and the Rizzuto clan. But business continued. And Vito remained a good soldier." Sal Vitale also testified the last known position he knew Vito Rizzuto held was Acting Captain.

As stated in the Court of Appeal, Rizzuto v. United States Of America, 2004, "The appellant is described by an informer as “an extremely powerful and influential member of the Canadian faction of the Bonanno family.” He still pays his dues to the family every year."

Dominick Cicale, a former Bonanno Captain revealed that he was told by Baldo Amato that Sal Montagna was acting as a liaison to Montreal and collecting tribute from them in the early/mid 2000s, a tribute that was increased as well. Although Baldo has been off the street serving a life sentence he received in 2006, he carried a lot of influence on the younger Sicilian Bonannos, including Sal Montagna. Cicale also claimed Basciano was receiving drug shipments from Canada.

Cicale's claim is later supported by recorded conversations between Joe Massino and Vinny Basciano in MDC Brooklyn in 2005. One of the conversations was about Montagna travelling to Canada to find his cousin work. Another conversation discussed how Canada sent word they wanted a certain associate placed with Montagna. A third topic of conversation between the two Bonanno leaders was the recent death of Montreal Bonanno Soldier, Frank Cotroni Sr., and how his death added another slot for upcoming inductions.

Both versions of the aftermath of Vitale's meetings show Montreal was still apart of the Bonannos organization after Sciascia's murder. The discussions between Basciano and Massino in 2005, along with Cicale's statements show the Bonannos, via Montagna, had ongoing interests in or with their Canadian counterparts. Furthermore, the discussions show Montreal was involved with internal Bonanno matters, requesting an associate with be placed with the conduit between NY and Montreal, I.e. Montagna. Therefore, we can reasonably say that no separation between Montreal and the Bonannos happened during or in the time shortly after Sciascia's 1999 murder.

Modern Bonanno Sicilian Faction (w/ notes)

Credit goes to posters on the Blackhand Forum who put a lot of time (and money) into their research. Particularly B., Felice, and Antimafia.

Here are the living members known to be involved with the Bonanno Sicilian faction along with the rank they held. Most of them have roots in the Middle Village area, either having lived or hung out there, and now some of them live around Howard Beach.

The vast majority of the names below have heritage in Trapani province, particularly early Bonanno hot spots like Castellammare del Golfo / Alcamo and Santa Ninfa / Partanna. The Pipitones' ties to Torretta are interesting given the members from Torretta in the Gambino family.

I know exactly what will happen. Mancuso will send a bunch of his guys to send some nasty text messages to Cammarano. Cammarano will then give a bunch of negative yelp reviews to some of the business’ that Mancuso has a piece of. This might get ugly.

Zummo’s recorded Canadian making ceremony was discussed here

Without a doubt the Bonannos have people up north.
