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.

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.
I find it interesting the 2006 chart that you are found of referring to did not have any of these 9 individuals on it. Logically, that leaves one of two possibilities:
1. The chart was wrong and there were additional soldiers the Feds did not know about. --If true, the family would have been stronger than the chart suggested. --If true, the Violi brothers could have been made in the Buffalo family but not listed in the 2006 chart. 2. The Buffalo family made members after 2006. --If true, it indicates the family was stronger than the 2006 chart suggests. --And/or the family has rebuilt and is stronger than the 2006 chart suggests.
Help me Nicky, am I wrong? Is there another possibility? If not, which of the two options do you choose?
