POSTED: Thursday, May 29, 2014, 3:01 AM


A REPUTED mob soldier was sentenced yesterday to 27 months in prison for running an illegal gambling business.

Eric Esposito, 43, of Philadelphia, was convicted Feb. 21 after a weeklong trial for running the business on behalf of the city's La Cosa Nostra family at the First Ward Republican Club in South Philadelphia, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The club is unrelated to the Republican Party. The business used video poker machines, which prosecutors had said sometimes brought in $2,000 a day.

As part of the sentence, U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno also ruled yesterday that Esposito must pay a fine of $4,000 and serve three years of supervised release.

The government alleged that Esposito worked as the "de facto manager" of the club from 2006 to 2009 and never renounced his mob membership or status as a "made" member.

The prosecution argued that Esposito's sentencing range should be increased to 30 to 37 months because of his longtime association with the mob. The 27-month term he received was the maximum under the advisory sentencing guidelines.

Thirteen other reputed La Cosa Nostra leaders, members and associates have been convicted or pleaded guilty in the case. One is awaiting sentencing. Esposito was one of 13 people included in a 50-count superseded indictment unsealed in May 2011.

The reputed boss of the Philly mob, Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi, was released from federal prison in January after prosecutors decided not to try him a third time. He was not convicted of any charges in the case.

Dom grande and a bunch of his guys are at the hooters on Roosevelt and welsch right now. They're all rooting for the LA Kings.

It's his going away party

how old are dipietros kids? this dude running around philly without a care in the world and the cops and the street think he killed their dad looks like it could be a powderkeg getting ready

Merlino, just my thoughts, i think dom didnt have anything to do with the situation.i think the feds just put his name in to try and get ant nicodemo to flip.im not from philly and never saw dom or ant nicodemo, but from what i hear from jersey, both have no worries. Ant is locked up feeling hes definitely gonna beat the case. Dom, from it looks like, wasnt the shooter and had nothing to do with it. If i wasnt guilty, i would be doing the same thing as dom. Drinking mojitos every night, while everyones reading the papers

So these people think its a cut and dry case,no one is worried.According to that 1 juror if the trial continued it was just a matter of time.That's a head scratcher.

No one knows what's going on in someone else's mind. I laugh my ass off when I hear people say things like "John Gotti looked like he didn't have a care in the world." Yeah, until the iron door slammed shut for good.

Maybe Grande was at the bar self-medicating to keep from going crazy. Maybe he IS fucking crazy. Or maybe they really do believe that Nicodemo is going to walk. But whatever it is, only they know what they're thinking and whether or not they're worried. I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw a wiseguy put on a brave face when he secretly had a bleeding ulcer from stress.

Unless their renting space up there.

I don't know about all that it's pretty obvious to all of south Philly that Dom was the shooter. Wether or not he gets charged with it who knows I personally doubt he will unless Anthony flips.

OJ couldnt beat this case.

My 2 cents he'll roll the minute the INEVITABLE guilty verdict comes in.

But its been said before. We'll find out soon enough.

lol. Are you for real? "From the looks of it"??? They wouldnt pull his name out of a hat if they didnt have people on the street saying his name. Much tougher to prove it was him in a court of law, but dont kid yourself, people are talking about it, and Dom's name is getting mentioned. There are no secrets in South Philly. People love to talk. No doubt he was the shooter. Up to the courts to prove it though.

I wonder what that feeling is like,like you guys say in South Philly there are no secrets,when you run across someone in a convience store or at at club,bar,whatever that you you know killed your brother or father or even close relative.I mean your in line behind the person that killed your father,and obviously he's not in jail,I'm sure its happened.

That is what I am thinking especially for DiPietros kids and also relatives, there has to be many people in s philly who dont like dom grandes dad already ans hold deep resentment towards him now his son might have committed a murder that could bring down many leaders of the philly mob

Retrial not until early 2015 ..

Tick tock.

Nicodemo Trial 2015

Now to me this seems like a ploy for the defense,by the new trial being so far away only negative things can happen.What happens if one of the key witness's moves away or has a change of heart or even passes away.That could only help the defense.It's like in the O.J. trial everyone knew he was guilty but suddenly the lawyers attacked Mark Furhman and it changed everything.Like in this case there is no way humanly possible a jury could aquit him.Seen staking out the area,vehicle seen leaving the scene, and evidence found right inside vehicle.Supposed car-jacking but not reported to police.Only way to win this is on technicalities.

Im with you all of the witnesses are out in the open, wonder if a "sopranos" like corner store meeting might occur now. S Philly is a small area but for all these witnesses being able to not get amnesia kind of shows what lack of muscle these guys carry over there anymore. If it was west or n philly those residents never see anything, more scared of those gangstas than the mobsters in s philly

That's everywhere, though. Here in the Bronx, I guarantee you that the "Average Joe" would rather testify against a made guy than a Crip or a Blood. Things change.

I would have to disagree with that comment PB. On the show "48", or "48 hours", whatever its called. You have a crip/blood wanted for murder. Within 2 days, you have a brother being questioned. The detectives tell him hes never gonna see his kids again if he doesnt give up the shooter. Next thing you know, hes starts crying hysterically and gives up the crip/blood and later testifies.

Not to get off track ..... but like bobbyvegas says....on that First 48 show, does anybody notice that absolutely everybody always talks? Even the guys that do the murder, once they are questioned for more than 15 minutes...first they slowly admit they were at the scene of the crime....then they admit there was a fight...and then they just admit everything. I almost feel bad for these people it's like they don't know they can demand a lawyer.

Anyways, I wanted to say thanks to all you that have been posting the articles about this Philly trial. Very interesting, thanks.

Agree to disagree.

There are at least half-a-dozen rats who've returned to the Bronx-Westchester-NYC Metro area after leaving Witness Protection. I see one of them all the time, and do you know what he's doing? He's shylocking money as a freelancer at the video casino at the racetrack. Un-fucking-heard of twenty years ago.

I've never heard of a Crip or a Blood or whatever you call them returning to his old neighborhood after testifying. It's an indisputable fact that the Black and Latino gangs will kill you a lot faster than the mob today. And I think that the average suburban White person realizes that.

But like I say, I don't come here to argue. Agree to disagree .

Well, if they didn't go there to talk, they wouldn't be on television .

PB check your pm!

Aside from the 48 hours show I think PB is spot on... here in west philly you have a 13 year old kid get shot by unidentified black 17-21 year old male over a stolen bike but its right near an undercover detective who chase the shooters into a house and the homeowner didnt see anything.... unless shooters in the large urban areas are caught on video they tend to get away with shootings and murders due to neighbors or witnesses intimidated, scared or dont trust the police to protect them now a days. And in the niccodemo trial you have a neighborhood postman freely talking to police who did the shooting along with 2 others, so like PB said times have changed. The mob rat operating out in the open where he came from is classic

I agree with both of you guys in a way. I think a white guy who rats can come back to his neighborhood a lot easier than a black guy can go back to his. They know now to go back or they will be killed. The white guys doesn't think he will be killed. But I think a white guy who doesnt live in a black neighborhood is more likely to rat on a black guy than a white guy from his neighborhood. Hope that made sense.

I watch 48 hours to...I can't believe how easy they get those guys to rat. But it is TV...they don't show the other side as much. They were complaints about that TV show because of it and they been showing the other side a little more but still not as much.

Are you talking about "48 hours" or "the first 48"? If it's "the first 48", then I agree it's absurd how they always confess without pressure. In an episode they even solved a contract killing in Las Vegas in a couple of hours because the middleman who found the hitman gave everybody up immediately after being asked the same question twice. He might as well have gone to the police himself even before the hit was done.

I can understand this happening after drunken riots or crimes of passion, but with organized/business related crime such behavior looks like a comedy movie.
