according to the new gangland TG was photographed by the fbi going to a meeting with the acting boss Vinny TV and a few other bonanno soldiers

"Sources tell Gang Land that DEA agent Al Gyenes and his group of agents that investigate wiseguys have made Vincent (Vinny TV) Badalamenti, the Brooklyn-based mobster who has served as acting Bonanno boss for about two years now, their main target.

“They are watching Vinny TV very closely,” said one law enforcement source, who noted that unlike FBI agents, who belong to “squads,” agents for the Drug Enforcement Administration are assigned to work in “groups,” not squads.

Less than two months ago, on October 18, the agents were watching as Graziano met up with Badalamenti and several other Bonanno wiseguys for a not-so-secret meeting at Mike’s Place, a popular Greek diner in the Annadale section of Staten Island.

Also attending the session with Vinny TV and the since-arrested and incarcerated Graziano were Bonanno soldiers Arthur Tarzia and Vito Balsamo, according to Nicole Argentieri, a deputy chief of the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s organized crime unit.

The agents, who had flipped Graziano’s ex-son-in-law Hector Pagan months earlier, were on the scene when TG and his driver, mob associate Matthew Rinaldo, showed up for lunch at Mike’s Place after a scheduled trip to his doctor earlier that day, according to court records."
