After two years, the effort paid off when McCaffrey and Sallet discovered that Massino, Vitale and Cantarella were partners in several parking lots owned by parking lot mogul Barry Weinberg. Cantarella's stake was held in the name of his wife, Lauretta. The Bonanno Squad put Weinberg under surveillance, and discovered Weinberg and one of his friends, restaurant owner Augustino Scozzari, frequently met with Cantarella and his crew. While this was going on, McCaffrey and Sallet found evidence that Weinberg hadn't filed tax returns in over a decade—in the process, evading over $1 million in taxes. They collared him in January 2001 and told him that he was headed to prison unless he turned state's evidence and obtained evidence against Bonanno mobsters. While being debriefed, Weinberg revealed that Cantarella had wrung a total of $1.25 million in extortion payoffs from him—much of it laundered through Scozzari's restaurant. Confronted by the FBI, Scozzari also agreed to become an informant.
