I think Poncho followed in his father's footsteps, taking over his old crew and becoming one of the so called leaders of the Montreal Mafia. The Cuntreras in Montreal are probably not part of the group in Ontario. Montreal has historically been LCN turf while Toronto belongs to the Italian mafias, at least nowadays.

I'm inclined to believe the Cuntreras in Ontario have been on the fence at the very least. It also now seems the putch against the rogue Rizzuto group came from within LCN while the Toronto Calabrians were only peripherally involved.

I think nowadays the Cuntrera-Caruana Mafia clan is enjoying the sheer amount of profits once made with drugs and has invested it in real estate and other legal ventures while taking a low profile.


Here's what I can't figure out: Who in the Bonannos back in NY was supporting Sal Montagna and his fight against the Rizzuto's? Asaro? The Grimaldi's?
