Rooster in the following legal document you will see that Louis P. Ciminelli served as a trustee for mob controlled LIUNA Local 210 and was named in a RICO suit along with Leonard Falzone and numerous other Buffalo soldiers and associates.

I think that's Rooster's point. But it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that a former mobbed-up construction exec is still committing relatively standard-level scams in the 21st century. If there was an organized crime or mob tie there, I'd be interested, but the fraud charges aren't connected to the Buffalo mafia.
Agreed there is not enough evidence to prove a mob connection with Ciminelli today. Probably never will be. Just like they never proved any illegal activity for Joe or Joe Jr. Todaro. To use your logic there were just good businessmen that ran into mobsters because they were Italian and had a business on the Italian West-side. There are many people who deny the Todaro's (especially Joe Jr.) were ever part of Cosa Nostra-because it has never been proven.
