It was in 1989 when Fino went into hiding. Some in the Buffalo family suspected he was the leak in the Cleveland crime infiltration of the FBI office in Cleveland, but decided he wasn't when Jimmy flipped in Los Angeles, as they knew that Jimmy was told about it. It was 1988, when Ron came under suspicion again, which the Todaro's were not sure about it, so in 1989, they had Sam Cardinelli frisk Fino before a big meeting. Ron did not go for it and reached out to Danny Domino, who later told Ron that there is now a contract on his head over Cardinelli not being able to pat Fino down, and the family had known for years he was an informant.
