Well that is your opinion but the only person to make such a claim is Vitale who as you or anyone who has read "The last Godfather" knows he was kept out of the loop on important matters. I am not privy to classified information and you claim not be be either so all we can do is speculate but IMO the Bonannos are not going to give up a tribute as big as one from MOntreal would be without fighting tooth and nail to keep it. I just can't see the Bonanno's or anyone in the mafia for that matter walking away from a tribute because they whacked someone tied to the group making the tribute.

If whacking George from Canada would end a fruitful tribute from Montreal, I don't think Massino would whack him for something as ridiculous as him complaining that TG was a coke head as is the reason claimed by Vitale.
