Yes, Bensonhurst. To the best of my knowledge, they were not part of the feds' final 2006 chart for the family, and they have been numerously named as Luppino crime group members. I don't go around assuming random mobsters with TIES to Buffalo are Todaro crime family members.

The Todaro crime group was built by the now-deceased Joseph Todaro Sr., who took over the Buffalo Mafia once led by the influential boss Stefano (The Undertaker) Magaddino.[1
He did write the book "The ENFORCER" about Papilla
Why did he only mention the Todaro Crime Family? You can't say because the Violi's were originally made with them...
Why the fuck would I assume that Humphrey was talking about the Violis when he didn't mention their name once in that paragraph. Stop connecting dots that aren't there. If the Violis were Todaro crime family members, they would be labelled as such in the DOZENS upon DOZENS of articles about them.

And the powers that be only list the family that the VIOLI"s according to you are not a member of and have never been a member of.
Just not list the actual family they are with??
Nicky do you think Humphrey's would know about Papilia's crew and the rest of Hamilton LCN, basically two crews of Buffalo defected from the Buffalo family and went where???????
That is the first time and last time two actual crews defected from a family...
More incoherent rambling. Again, if the Violis were Buffalo family members then LE or media, by now, would have labelled them as such at least once down the line. Just because the name Buffalo occurs in the same article as the name Violi does not automatically mean a connection.

Out of all that all the players RCMP, FBI, LE, Author, Journalists involved only choose to mention the DEFUNCT FAMILY???
As Nickle pointed out earlier, Violi was specifically labelled as the heir apparent to the LUPPINO CRIME GROUP. And, by the way, the RCMP never released an official indictment on their website. So all Humphrey had to (immediately) go on was the U.S. Justice Department's release, which noted that members of the Todaro crime family were arrested and charged with drug trafficking.

Let us reference in our press release's only a family that is defunct for the past 11 years and noboy is a member of.
RIDDLE ME THAT?
I direct you to my Justice Department comment.

Who is?
Here are the 9 arrested in Canada:
Charged on Thursday morning were:1) Domenico Paolo Violi, Hamilton;2) Dimitar Dimitrov, Stoney Creek; 3) Adriano Valentino Scolieri, Richmond Hill; 4) Bernardo Luke Rotolo, Woodbridge; 5) Tran Giang Tang, 6) Kam Tim Tong, both of Markham; 7) Nicholas Valentine, Vaughan; 8)Anthony James Arroyo, Waterloo; 9) James Lincoln Jablonski, Mississauga.
That's a good question which none of us here know the answers to yet.
