It's really late going to bed but I'll see if I can find the book it was in . [/quote]

Yes was in Raab'5 families:

When Bonanno capo Anthony Graziano, a Massino loyalist, appeared high on drugs in a meeting, Sciascia started telling other Bonanno family members that Graziano was a substance abuser. When new family boss Joseph Massino heard about Sciascia's complaints, he felt Sciascia was attacking him also.Feeling that Sciascia was challenging his authority, Massino, in a jealous rage, decided to have him killed.

Yeah Massino testified that Sciascia complained about Graziano's drug use, but that the actual reason Sciascia was killed was because Sciascia killed a wiseguy's son in Canada without Massino's permission.

His whole testimony is over on the Blackhand forum. Lots of interesting info.
