That’s interesting, I have heard that they were cool as well, until they weren’t. It’s understandable, considering the markets they’re in.

It makes people wonder more about Verducci, seems like he had a lot of influence, and that he was killed over gambling. I have heard that the consortium that was part of the Platinum, was also in on the Casino, in the sense of a very mini Vegas, with DeGroote. When Rizzuto died, that type of money available, as well as outstanding debt=massive leverage, can be worth killing for. Like Rizzuto, the removal of Verducci seemed to create instability, he must have been fairly important.

Francesco Acardi and Rocco Sollecito immigrated to Canada from Southern Italy , like most original Rizzuto. Did they have connections with Calabrese/Southern Italian in Woodbridge, good or bad? It’s like a fraternal order to itself lol
