Sentence from an wiretapped convesation between Lucchese soldier Vincent "Vinny Baldy" Salanardi and other wiseguy about "the life":

"Everything that happens in this crew is not going to be my problem. I am not a boss. I am not a captain. It's not my problem in life. Everything becomes my problem. I ain't the only wiseguy in New York City."

Salanardi was made in 1998 under captain John "Johnny Sideburns" Cerrella's Brooklyn crew.



On Jan. 15, 2004, the wiretapped conversation between Carmelo Bruzzese and Vito Rizzuto about personal family affairs and an upcoming transaction involving an unspecified exchange.

“I have it here in Toronto . . . is everything ready, if someone from there comes here,” Bruzzese tells Rizzuto just before Bruzzese is scheduled to come to Ontario.

“There is no problem,” Rizzuto assures him.

But there was a problem.

Rizzuto was arrested five days later in his home in Montreal as part of an FBI-led sweep of the Bonanno crime family that would eventually see him sentenced to 10 years in U.S. prison for his role in a murder.

Within hours of Rizzuto’s detention, his top lieutenant, Francesco Arcadi, called Bruzzese, according to the wiretap transcripts.

“It’s really honestly bad news,” Bruzzese responds. “I hope that everything will be resolved shortly.”
