Same pipeline. It was serving the Genovese guys like Vito, Bender etc, along with Lucchese guys like Gribbs, Gigi the whale etc along with Bonanno guys like Galante and Gambino Guys like patsy Conte and Sal Ruggiero. Guys got busted but the pipeline kept flowing through the 70s and into the 80s via the Bonanno Montreal crew. George from Canada supplied Mark Reiter and Angelo Ruggiero the heroin up until the Pizza Connection case
