Nice find Nicky... Todaro Crime syndicate with operations based in Buffalo. Not the mob, but tied into Cosa Nostra and Calabrian mobs...

The two operations confirmed that the traditional cross-border network of mafia organisations across the Buffalo-Montreal-New York triangle remained intact, despite organisational changes and law enforcement intervention. The FBI noted that the risks posed by LCN, however weakened, were still a focus for law enforcement both in the city and at a federal level. Mafia groups have a chameleonic ability to adapt. In an age of globalised communications and transport, traditional mafia groups – particularly in a central hub such as New York – can resurface and explore new pathways for expansion into criminal and legal markets, both in the United States and abroad.
Maybe Buffalo has adapted like a chameleon so much they think it is a syndicate, when it is just an adapted version of the Mob.
