It probably depends on the drug being sold. Heroin and coke (and crack by extension) are two different markets of users. I suppose in lieu of one you could persuade users to try another... But heroin addicts typically need heroin. Is that what the Rizzuto drug trade continues to rely on? I've always assumed it still relies on heroin, but I really don't know.

In any case, it seems like the Siderno Group is poised to overtake the Rizzutos as Canada's preeminent Italian OC group. Which makes sense. The last few years of war seem to have taken a serious toll and the recent bust of Leo and Sollecito may result in a period of interregnum, which may well end Rizzuto control entirely. With Vito gone, I wonder how much connection to their Sicilian roots remains?
