Who ever whacked Nicolo Rizzuto sent a message that atleast In part he was answering for the Violi murders.
Same thing with Mustiano

Then there is a crew in Canada that is whacking out guys that way up on the food chain, and making It look as if it is coming from the defunct
Buffalo LCN family.

When Basciano took over the Bonanno's to send a message he was the man he whacked out Pizzolo and left a body in the street for all go see.

When Merlino was getting out and there was a little confusion as to who was going to be running things in P.A.
A MESSAGE was sent a body was left in the street to show everyone who the boss was, the message was " If you F--K with me, you will be left in the street"

Again not saying this is the same what I am saying there appears to be a message behind these two hits, and that message would only benefit Buffalo,
