The other thing that's interesting, the FBI mentioned that the case with the Bonannos included members of the Todaro Family:
Quote
In a coordinated operation, Canadian law enforcement authorities today arrested nine organized crime members and associates in Canada, including members of the Todaro organized crime family, who are charged with, among other crimes, narcotics trafficking.
What's interesting is in the same FBI press release that contains the above quote, all of the defendants listed are all in the NYC area. So, who are the members and associates of the Todaro family that were arrested? Wouldn't there be a list of their names somewhere if they were arrested and formally charged with a crime?
Sorry if I missed it earlier, but I can't seem to find who the Todaro family members are who were arrested anywhere.
That is the frustrating thing, they were never listed.
There is much conjecture and very little in the way of real answers as to who the Todaro people are.
Some say those who were arrested are currently Buffalo members--i.e. one theory is that they are the Violi Brothers as their Grandfather had strong ties to Buffalo.
Others say the Violi's and their clan are Bonanno--because they were at a Bonanno making ceremony and Buffalo may have been absorbed by a NYC family like the Bonannos.
Some say what is left of Buffalo/Todaro were absorbed by a Ndrangheta family--i.e. Luppino whom some reports several years ago indicated Dominic Violi was the heir apparent leader.
Others believe the "Todaro" family members are left over Buffalo Crime Family that are just working with one of the Ndrangheta clans in Canada because Buffalo is defunct with no administration.
Another theory is that the current families and mob organizations are much less structured and work much more across organizational and family lines--See the Anna Sergi article:New York Crime Families Survive & Colaborate .
Did I miss any theories?
