I'll get to this soon, within a couple of days... ♦ jaguar  21:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Early life
 * "who was murdered on August 12, 1933 in Patterson, New York, U.S" - unnecessary here ✅


 * Criminal career
 * "the Newfoundland Supreme Court threw out the case." - how about dropped? ✅
 * " Drug dealer Normand Dupuis ready to testify against him for a reduced prison sentence" - missing word between Duipuis and 'ready', perhaps was? ✅
 * "Though only considered a soldier of the New York Bonanno crime family" - link soldato ✅


 * Indictment
 * "Massino, who is serving a life sentence for murder" - could a time reference be added here? As of 2021 etc? If he is still serving his life sentence of course ✅ "Massino, who received a life sentence for murder after he turned state's evidence in 2004..." as he is out of prison.
 * "this was a fate that was far from the worst that could happen to Mr. Rizzuto, Rizzuto got off easy with just a five-year prison term in the United States" - this reads a bit choppy, needs rephrasing Massino, who received a life sentence for murder after he turned state's evidence in 2004 ✅ Let me know if needs further refinement. "Organized crime authors Antonio Nicaso and Lee Lamothe stated of the sentence respectively, "It's a great deal. He couldn't expect anything better", and, "I think the system has been beaten again"."


 * Incarceration and release
 * "and immediately deported to Toronto, Ontario, Canada" - a bit too descriptive, lose Ontario or Canada ✅
 * "Rizzuto met with representatives of the New York mafia families" - this should be capitalised ✅

This is a solid article overall, evidenced through the few points mentioned above. The references also look fine - I've converted all the dates to mdy format so they're consistent. As always, I enjoy reading these. Once the minor points are out of the way this will be good to go. ♦ jaguar  00:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

The quote in the "Aftermath" subsection doesn't match the source, but I found it. --Lenin and McCarthy |  (Complain here) 05:12, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have corrected the source. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 05:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you both, I missed that part in the aftermath section. With those out of the way, I'll be happy to promote this. ♦  jaguar  11:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
