No, just an associate I dont even think hes alive anymore.

Utica is active, even though it is severly limited to book and shy. Some restaurant and bar scams, theft, arson, revenge type activities.

BiFulco is definitely going to be top of the heap now, and has been stronger than Victor as soon as he got out after that 10 year stint.

I dont know if Anthony Todaro is made but I know he wants to be. Tons of wannabes around him trying to impress. The amount of employees at La Nova that try to jockey for friendship on a daily basis is enough to classify that as a crew alone. Drugs, book, shy, robberies, burglarlies, revenge type activities.

The thing with Buffalo/Niagara is that it has a huge Italian population still, same reason Philly has been able to keep recruiting and recruiting even if that talent isnt anything special, but in 2016 being a special, younger talent in this type of life is few and far between. Italian culture is embedded in Western NY (Amherst, Hamburg, Tonawanda included) and along with that comes Mafia culture, the thought of being the Mafia, wanting to be around conneced guys and wanting to impress them is just a given. From the casino in downtown Buffalo to the casino in Niagara Falls, the influx of tourists and like Cabrini said the pro sports there helps this family stay viable per local and state law enforcement's classification.

If a city can house NHL and NFL that keeps the mob in business there off of book and shy alone.

The death of this family isnt accurate, even if one were to take away the Ontario crew (which I believe is starting to become more and more autonomous and flies more under the Toronto )flag you still have plenty of willing and able guys in Buffalo/Niagara to help maintain its existence. Lets say there is only 15 active made guys left, they are in my opinion, a strong 15 with a good sized network of associates, including knock around guys (and some murderers) that, mixed with the infrastructure of the region, and the recruitment of younger Italian American kids to pull from this family should be considered viable, ten years from now maybe not.


Dont worry about what Im doing
