it would indeed make more sense IF he was involved in nick sr.'s assassination, except for the glaring fact that after all these murders in mtl over the last 20 years amongst all the different groups, families factions etc...there is absolutely NO...NO evidence of involvement by a toronto based 'ndrangheta group.

the narrative of sicilians vs. calabrians, a theory at one point i could agree on is totally false. the murders committed in mtl were amongst montreal based clans, not mtl vs toronto.
further in the source, andrea scoppas book, he states that the killer of nick sr was still alive when asked by the authors. i am not sure what year scoppa said this, i may go back to book to check.
it is alleged after vitos release in 2012 that he met with important 'ndrangheta leaders in toronto. the toronto leaders informed vito that they were not his enemy and would not intercede in his revenge against enemies.


and mobsters murdered over money is the most common reason in the mafia why guys are taken out. to that point calautti had over a decade of being a deadbeat gambler who could not pay his debts. and why hit tusek as well his alleged partner in crime? maybe james tusek was calauttis bodyguard and tried to intervene, maybe the 2 of them messed up big time on a scam we know nothing about and for this were both taken out? or just collateral damage that was in wrong place at wrong time. but remembering it was a double murder is also important.
