Bonanno Big Shots John (Johnny Joe) Spirito and Ernie Aiello, among others, were relieved of their money in a flight from a social club of the Bonanno family in the Bronx on Sunday of the Memorial Day weekend, according to blog and podcast reports.

We contacted our own sources related to the Bonanno family on the flight to see what we could discover – only to hear that the flight has never happened.
“It’s a complete story of bullshit,” said one of the sources laughing. (These guys seemed to be well aware of the history of the flight of the social club, which tells us that they must follow the news of the online crowd, at least as much as us.)
According to The gangster reportTens of thousands of dollars in tribute were stolen in the flight, money intended for the pockets of Bonanno Boss Michael (Mikey nose) Mancuso. GR also noted that, according to three different sources, Johnny Joe’s Son, John (Johnny Boy) Spirito, Jr. was also the victim of the stick.
Another source told us, almost completely aligned with our first source, that “it is a story of bullshit, we have never been stolen”, adding that rumor “is not good for business. Some of the guys playing cards (in this bronx club) are legitimate guys and they want to feel safe, so I stopped personally to let them know in our game.”

Sources also say that the allegation that tens of thousands of dollars in tribute were torn off by bold thieves was so obviously ridiculous, it was the story that history was full bullshit.
“No one other than no one in this life would never leave money like that in a club. A club could be pinned at any time. I suppose that this kid wants people to think he knows what’s going on in life.”
A final point but very important: it is not me, Ed, saying that – I rarely say, if never, anything; It is according to our generally very reliable sources. So don’t cry me, Argentina.
