Yeah pmac I saw that story and it was quite depressing
That bust IMO reeked of BS from the start .
millions spent , thousands of agents , prosecutors , judges , COs , hours for trumped up gambling nonsense
This was low hanging fruit for the bosses and the media, plains and simple, diverting resources from worthwhile union and wholesale drug cases. I know those cases are far harder , especially today & wiseguys using all sorts of fronts , LLC, outside counsel to hide their dealings. Even just being on them surpresses their dealings , in areas that matter . Especially drugs and with the sicilians likely running the Gambinos , big wholesalers all over Canada , Italian mafia becoming international wholesalers , seems something is likely going on with Italy , US and Canada.
The new AG just needs to stop with this gambling shit , it can't be stopped , it's accepted by the public and even though they are very easy to bring in , it has zero effect on the street , maybe a 1 week disruption if they are lucky .
I will say though the indictment was pretty funny , they actually included the panhandler violence in there , lol !!!, that is some hilarious shit , basically doing the cops job ( if a woman is harassed what normal person isn't going to get a little rough with the local junkie that consistently does it ) . Then the cream scam , I haven't seen details in this case but usually that is just signing up docs and patients to prescribe shit they shouldn't for a commission or cut . The clincher is then Eastern whatever the Fuck syndicate . Who made that one up ?? lol
Whatever LE supervisors were involved here need to go down to the evidence room for their new job.

Does the woman who was bothered by the panhandler actually exist or was she invented as a cover story?
I should beat up a random homeless guy or panhandler for arbitrary reasons sometime.
I never knew it was legal!

And @ DB
It isn't just gambling though. In cases such as this, gambling is almost always intertwined with extortion/drug dealing/fraud/violence/racketeering/all of the above. I have seen Feds extort/ commit fraud and use violence on many family members that were so called connected to mob families. You are just starting to see the truth coming out with technology and information trickling down to these folks that now know what's what .

Out of interest, how come Philadelphia has such an organised crime history? (Sorry if that's a stupid question) Because the Philly Camden and Atlantic City have been run by underworld since late 1800's Philly leaders were right there with New Yorkers in Cuba , Dominican republic and other ventures . This is why the old time gangsters were close with Philly , Atlantic City has been run by gangsters sine its inception . These people also have there children meet and get married further embedding the life in generation after generation . Most of our family's came from NY to begin with .

On the other hand, I read King of the Godfathers, and I find it hard to believe how Josephine Massino didn't have to go to prison. She was balls deep in mafia enterprise too, as I suspect a lot of the wives and children are. Thick as thieves a lot of them.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

How the hell is Cirillo the head of a firm with a seat on the New York Stock Exchange? Or other way around, how does a Gambino Associate have a seat on the NY Stock Exchange? What am I missing here? Either he's the stupidest guy around getting involved when he's probably pulling in a football seasons worth of trading commissions on a weekly basis... What am I missing here? Is Cirillo as in Dom Cirillo of the Genovese? Dan Marino seemed to know him well enough in that Merlino musical chairs sit-down convo, but foreal what's this guy messing with bookmaking for if he's got so much legit money at risk?

For the first time since the 80's I just spent the last ten minutes talking to Skinny outside Wawa in Ventnor You just walked up to him? How was he? He recognize me , maybe could not place me but as soon I I spoke he knew . He was standing in front waiting for the shop to open , he looked good as always looking around . I did not see any Feds and I was looking the entire time .

He was just standing outside a Wawa before opening time and just waiting? No wawa is 24/7 he was waiting for Sacco to open ...and he is very comfortable there he has and has had houses there . Ironic it's right around the corner from Chris office and Jr. Old restaurant .

His cousin Vinny had to come defend him at the trial too!

So, is he really 5 ft. 2 after seeing him in the flesh? I first seen him in summer of 80/81 and he was tiny then and I guess he is 5'4 ish but yeah he is small . His grandparents had a place on Georgia ave back in the day and a few cousins in duck town so he was no stranger to the neighborhood I was born in but way before him . He has cousins in Ventnor and Margate and a godson in Ducktown so he was around a lot but I am older so he could of been hanging around before 80 with Jr.
