I gotta agree with johhnyboy here...

Remember the thing with the Rizzutos and the Spanish guy Fernandez? Remember the big thread on the Rizzutos, part of the discussion was whether or not JuanRamon Fernandez was made. I made the point that he was probably tolerated because he promised solid drug connects that the Sicilians needed. He was supposed to setup a weed and pill importation I believe. When that fell through, he tried to get land to grow on I believe. When he he proved himself incapable of doing what he said, compounded by not meeting with Rizzuto, he was whacked.

The only thing keeping him alive, I think was that they needed his connects. So I can see the Albanians moving in. There was an article posted awhile back about Sicilians " subcontracting" their retail drug work to African immigrants. So there does appear to be a weakening there. The slush fund from the pizzo, the street tax seems to be getting smaller.... That shit is like their labor union pension fund lol
