This is a real shock to me! So this ends the Bonanno era up there for good, he was the last strong link. I never have thought he would be shot, its clear someone stronger there viewed him as a thread.
Obviously some reports have said that he was one of those trying to assert control in the new power vacuum. From my understanding, he was born in Canada but spent most of his life here in the U.S. before the feds kicked him out. That he - the former acting Bonanno boss - could possibly be one of those "in the mix" up there suggests there is/was still some kind of connection. Also, as I've mentioned before, the fact that Rizzuto said he wouldn't take orders from Montagna. What that connection is, is anybody's guess. And it looks to be in a continual state of flux anyway.
