In the 90s there was 10 guys, including Carmen Barillaro* that got busted running boats with drugs on them across the Niagara River and that was under Todaro and Falzones watch, big money.

Just because Buffalo is a key area does not correlate to them having a functioning LCN administration at all.

The Decavalentes of NJ are still active but if and when they become defunct like Buffalo is doesn’t mean the Genovese and Luchese crews who are very active in NJ will just disappear.

Buffalo does not have to have a viable family for the Canadians or other families to use the city’s important infrastructures.
