In Piitsburgh, Stan Valenti, son in law to powerful Pittsburgh Capo Antonio Ripepi, and his brother Frank Valenti, both made in Pittsburgh, broke off and took over the rackets in Rochester with full support from Frank Amato/John LaRocca. Also, longtime Pittsburgh Capo, Sal Marino, from Sharon, PA went out to California with his son Angelo Marino and ran the rackets in San Jose under the protection of John LaRocca's cousins Pasquale & Alfonse in San Francisco as well as Boss Jimmy Lanza.

Sal Marino operated the Sharon Cheese Company and after his son Angelo, boss of San Jose, moved the cheese company to Cali, they sold it for tens of millions to Sorrento Cheese Co.

Also, Stefano Randazzo, made in Cleveland, transferred down to Tampa and became Traficante's driver and a made soldier under the protection of John "Peanuts" Tronolone, former Consigliere of Cleveland based out of Hallandale Beach, FL.

Also, James "Jack White" Licavoli and his brothers were originally part of St. Louis, moved to Detroit and while Yonnie & Pete stayed around Detroit, James Licavoli settled in Cleveland and became boss (by default and nepotism).
