I spoke to the owner of the About the mafia site And asked him about the source from the article and he said the source was not reliable however, because some people were talking about it he used it in the post.
It would be hard to imagine they have 50 made guys and whatever amount of associates that would come.with 50 made guys and they could stay under the radar for a decade...
That would be way too hard
Other than that he felt right now maybe there is more there than was originally thought of Probably something going on in Canada
He said no way are they what they were And he also felt that they are not functioning as a family bases on what he knows today..
He also yes the guys that are left alot are active presently.
About the Mafia is a good website, and a good place to get Mafia news. I'm glad he was upfront with you and admitted his source might not have been accurate. I pretty much agree with him - there could be something going on in Canada (I don't really believe there is but I wouldn't bet money on it), but there probably isn't much going on in Buffalo aside from loose remnants.
