welcome slumpy.

when the violi's were knocked off, many of their top guys like dimaulo, gallo and even frank cotroni (calabrian group) decided to work with the rizzutos rather than go to war with them. so that faction has always been alive and well. these guys made good money with rizzuto running things, so there was no reason to upset the apple cart. the article i posted yesterday makes a good point that two things happened around 2004, which among other things lead to the montreal mob war. vito rizzuto was arrested and frank cotroni died. that opened the door for the old cotroni/violi group to finally seek some vengeance, as cotroni had kept a lid on the rest of the calabrians.
