I agree Strax, but I wondering if the whole connection with Sicily is overblown. I mean, it's possible there's an active Gambino-Palermo connection. But my guess is "Operation Old Bridge" ended it (or most of it). The feds are too strong with all of the wiretap and video surveillance these days, and there's too many rats to have a new Pizza Connection or whatever. Just a guess that it's all overblown and that the Gambinos are far more focused locally. I mean, there will still be busts with some associates connected to the Calabrians but I doubt it goes very high up.

Cali has been lowkey, but so was Massino. All it takes is a few people to be scared of the can and flip and then the entire thing comes crashing down.
