Never heard of it. But you've yet to respond to the Gagliano thing. Do you believe the New Orleans crime family is active?



Where does he say the Buffalo mafia is dead in 1998? He doesn't. Here's what he says:
""" "We still feel the LCN (La Casa Nostra) is a viable and visible threat to Western New York," says Virgil D. Woolley, acting head of the Buffalo FBI office. But he admits the Buffalo mob has a weak pulse and resuscitation seems unlikely without strong leadership and profitable criminal enterprises.

Still, Woolley refuses to label the mob dead, pointing to telemarketing frauds, infiltration of unions and legitimate businesses, and the possibility that casino gambling might spawn addicts who find only Mafia loan sharks available when they need cash."""

Stop lying to people. Withering does not mean dead. It means that it's in the process of dying.

He says "All but penniless." Not penniless. The difference there is the fact that, whilst some members might still have cash and rackets, the family as a whole is hurting for money. Which is true.

And where does he say they, by 1998, still had leaders? Again, you are lying. He said they are disorganized and without strong leadership. Again, stop lying to people. I think your endgoal here is to say enough blatant lies, such as misquoting articles, in the hope that newcomers to this thread will see it and believe you.
