Apparently the Acuris agreed with sals termination. He was supposed to disappear but they botched the plan. Now that New York found out the Acuris lost there bonnano backup and are even afraid of reprisals. The new consortium as made 2 enemies. New York and the Rizzutos.

1. Wouldn't it seem odd to you, as it must to all of us if we're being honest with ourselves, that the Rizzuto loyalists in the old Rizzuto organization took several years to regain their strength and gather their troops? Apart from some initial reconnaissance work that might have been required to figure out where the attacks were coming from and from whom specifically, what were these loyalists waiting for? An engraved invitation?

2. Moreno Gallo didn't "accept being deported," regardless of whether you mean he could have said no to deportation or whether you mean he was happy to go to Italy. Once he was in Italy, he asked his lawyer fairly immediately to try to get him back to Canada.

3. Your post above suggests collaboration between Domenico Arcuri Jr. and those who apparently were in a faction opposed to Arcuri Jr. and Montagna. Which doesn't make sense to me unless Arcuri Jr., Jos Di Maulo, Raynald Desjardins, and others were in an unbroken alliance from the start till at least Montagna's murder -- and I doubt there was such an unbroken alliance.

4. I'm well aware of the links the Arcuris in Montreal have had in the past with members of the Bonanno Family. You indicate above that the Arcuris lost their support from the New York Bonannos. Yet in your later post, below,

you seem to mention this family relationship as a strength for, presumably, a faction that included Domenico Arcuri Jr. and Sal Montagna. Is there a contradiction here?
