However, Sciascia was very willing to give his opinion on anything, even to his superiors. By the mid 1970's, Sciascia was established in New York with the Sicilian, or "zip" faction, of the Bonanno family. However, due to his Sicilian upbringing, Sciascia also had close ties to the Bonanno crew in Montreal, which included Rizzuto. At this time, the Bonanno leadership consided the Rizzutos and the Bonanno crew in Canada to be under their firm direction and control.
