[3] The relationship between Kidan and Boulis grew so contentious that they had a fistfight at a business meeting in December 2000, with both parties allegedly making threats. Boulis was shot to death two months later in February 2001, in what police called "a gang style hit". Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. In the meantime, Kidan brought Anthony Moscatiello down to Florida to help with security, who in turn brought Anthony Ferrari and James Fiorillo into the venture. Those three were charged with Boulis' murder. A suit brought by Boulis' estate alleges that Adam Kidan made three payments of $10,000 to Moscatiello immediately prior to the murder.
In May 2006, Adam Kidan told authorities that Moscatiello and Ferrari confided in Kidan that another Gotti-associate, John Gurino, killed Boulis. Gurino himself was killed in October 2003, and he wasn't part of the investigation before Kidan gave authorities the name. [4]
