If Todaro was involved in murders in Canada, the FBI wouldn't let him run a successfull pizza place.

Russel Papalardo in Cleveland passed away.

That’s right he would be in the “NO PIZZA BLACK BOOK” it’s like the Vegas Black Book but targets O.C. and Pizzerias.

mafia i am aware of the francesco domingo links to the bonannos. that setup though seems to be a partnership between bonannos and sicily/C.D.G mafia groups not a bonanno led faction based in ny. this was the point i was trying to make. the sicilian mafia groups allied with the bonannos in ny are operating in a partnership or have been given territory to operate left when bonanno crews have been imprisoned. this setup is completely different than one being led by a bonanno capo with zips working direct for said capo. so i will not dispute this kind of setup as it its what best evidence shows.

to my comment on martino caputo i dont see why there is confusion here. hes imprisoned has been for close to 10 years and never had any affiliation with gambinos. because his brother is alleged to now be a gambino member does not make martino anything. i would say martino in present day has no affiliation at this point. for all we know he could be allied with the mohawk warriors for protection wherever he is now housed. to the point about antonio caputo being made and now a gambino this would require more evidence and research by many to get to the bottom of. i am aware of anna sergi and she is one of the most intelligent well researched experts on the mafia in the world that is no doubt. her theory of hyberdization is a very interesting one and one i tend to agree with in the context of canadian mafia groups. however when talking about paolo caputo there still does exist some confusion here. from the 2021 book the wolfpack co authored by peter edwards there is a brief 2 page mention about paolo caputo. pg. 229-230 in the book states that p. caputo was never a mobster...he ran restaurants...was a gambler...he had once hosted vito rizzuto at restaurants...was murdered over a $5million drug debt incurred by his brother martino by the sinaloa cartel.

there is no mention of paolo being a gambino associate/member. no mention that this hit was ordered by say joe todaro or part of a montreal mafia feud or a toronto mafia feud for that matter. so paolo caputo is murdered in august 2019. by now his brother antonio is said to be a made member of the gambinos having been at same ceremony as albert iavarone in 2017/2018. the murder takes place what is the reason if not for drug debt? and no reprisal? if antonio caputo was now flying the flag of gambinos in toronto would those looking for repayment not reach out to him first i mean he is now part of the 2nd most most powerful crime family in north america. surely some arrangement could have been made no. $5million to gambinos should be nothing against say having a newly made guy murdered and his family. doesnt show much clout if you ask me. and why not antonio the one to be murdered? because of his status perhaps not wanting to piss off gambinos that makes sense. so then what does a smart ruthless cartel like sinaloa do they kill someone from yer family fully aware that paolo caputo was his brother but also knowing he had no criminal staus.

so peter edwards could be wrong. anna sergi could be. i could be. but the situation in ontario amongst mafia surely is just as confusing as montreal is. and figuring out who was against who is not clear cut and cannot be separated as easily as sicilian vs. calabrian as some would like it to be.
