i was just listening to a radio interview that andre cedilot (autor of mafia inc) gave to a local radio station up here in montreal. gave a pretty good broad review of whats going on since nick rizzuto jr was whacked. in that arcuri, montagna, desjardins, di maulo and mirarchi came together and tried to forge somekind of an alliance.

he doesnt give any reason as to why, but says that for some reason montagna started to act arrogantly, big ego etc. desjardins than approached montagna about it in a sitdown, saying something to the effect that that wasnt the arrangement and he needed to back act more reaonable. after that meeting montagna tried to kill desjardins. than desjardins faction than kills montagna. the only two left from the original alliance are di maulo and arcuri. now according to cedilot di maulo doesnt want to be boss, and than arcuri is "terrified" and is in semi hiding. again his words not mine.

looks like its back to we're it started, no leadership.
