I'd just like to know if Mancuso took the money and ran or if he's still plotting. Something must've happened for it to all of a sudden go silent.

While those are all in the 21st century, we're approaching 20 years on most of those. Kind of proves my point.

All of those are nearly 20 years old and in Coppola's case over 20 years so not even the 21st century. No one would consider them recent enough to say the Mafia still kills people The last murder ordered by a Family was Michael Meldish by the Lucchese Family in 2013. So it's been 10 years since we had a murder ordered. Scott Burnstein and Dave Schratweiser have said they heard a edict came down saying no more murders. It's safe to say murders aren't happening except in extreme cases that we have not yet seen.

Canada is completely different then the USA. Their laws and police aren't the same. The level of corruption is not the same. The prison sentences aren't the same. It's a poor comparison to say it happens in Canada it can happen here in the USA. The people who run Quebec and the murders taking place there might not even be LCN anymore. The murders in Ontario have mostly been Ndrangheta related or related to other groups. The couple that have been LCN related were Angelo Musitano, Pat Musitano, Cece Luppino and Alberta Iavarone and only 2 of them may have been made. Many of these murders have been solved too but like any murder LCN related or not some do go unsolved just like any other country.

But just because they're not killing doesn't mean that they're weak. Maybe they don't have a reason to kill anyone??? Regardless, they're still in the 21st century. It shows that they will kill, if they absolutely have to. They're more busy making money. I don't know why some people here act like they have to kill so many made men within a certain time period to still be considered in operation, like they have to meet some kind of imaginary murder quota. And I forgot about Michael Meldish so that's another one.

Something did happen! They ran out of fictional material.

Bonanno soldier- Boss, you remember when we were going to kill Cammarano and then we called it off if they paid us a shit load of cash?
Mancuso - Yeah, why ?
Bonnano soldier- well, its all over the internet
Mancuso - what !!!! What da ya mean?
Bonanno soldier- even though we are supposed to be a secret society, everyone in the world seems to know about what we do and they post it all over the internet. in fact, i even know about all the affairs you have been having with made guys girls.
Mancuso- what da ya mean, i dont go with made guys girls. There must be some mistake.
Bonanno soldier- i dont think so, google is never wrong.
Mancuso- I want to put a contract out on google.

LOL

It's kind of like going to a movie and you're right at the good part and the electricity goes out and you never find out what happened.

LOL, Great analogy MS.

Yeah, and ya sit there with your bag of hot-buttered popcorn waiting patiently for the end of the movie to find out who the real villains were among the "usual suspects."

Luckily, in this particular "production," we pretty much knew who all the villains were already (with a few exceptions). The movie directors changed up a few names a bit to mask themselves for the new production, but it ended up being a boring show anyway. LOL

So, alas, ho-hum, it turned out to be just another poorly scripted movie plot we've watched a hundred times before. A B-grade production (at best!)

PS: At least the popcorn was good. LOL

Hehe..didn't Mancuso himself when he was at the halfway house go online all the time?

Believe it or not but its 2023 (not 1952!) and most wiseguys use the internet. Not as much as you obviously. I dont think anyone here is as attached to the screen as you are
